this is far from a regular language violation issue
from the beginning, it was not treated as one anyway
some say it's not banned ingame because you wouldn't be able to say raccoon, since c**n is part of raccoon
well what about a$$? without it, you can't say assistant hunter, yet if a GM catches you using it offensively, they take action
and b@st@rd. without it, you can't say b@st@rd sword, but if a GM catches you using it offensively, they take action
the fact that a whole thread had to be made about it, explaining how important it is, with example from real life of a person being banned for the use of the word, etc. makes the ban seem unnecessary
there was no need for an announcement. the c**n language violation issue was already in effect ever since the first day of closed beta. if someone used c**n as a racial slur, then the GMs should take action against him
however, raven's announcement bans ANY use of the word c**n, even if it's not being used as a racial slur (as if it was ever used as a racial slur in trickster anyway)
players like sonyc**n and cutec**n were obviously not using the word offensively, yet they were forced to change their names as if they were used as racial slurs
to me, c**n as a racial slur in trickster was already being taken care of long before raven was a GM. raven made a big mistake when she made that thread.
and now it's gotten to this point, where people are afraid to say c**n because they might get banned, where permabans are being handed out on first offense, names being changed regardless of whether or not it's used as a racial slur, etc.not that i'm saying it's all anyone's faultwe didn't get to where we are with this issue because of only one person, but here we are
this whole issue w/ the c-word isnt coming from Raven, or NTREEV.. but rather, theyre going along with a larger idiocy to cover their legal backsides
i say this based on this line, taken from Raven's topic:
Within the last 2 years, Dave Lenihan from NBC was fired for accidentally using the word instead of Coup.
so while i do not agree with the decision, i can understand where it's coming from
its meant to protect them from ppl with tiny brains and high class lawyers, who in this country, could very easily ruin them given the slightest excuse, same reason they have the ToS to begin with
the saddest thing about this, is that they have to take measures like this because of the idiotic times we live in
characters: CHAMPION: 20x/18x, THIEFMASTER: 20x/19x, WATER/ELEC SOULMASTER: 19x/16x-embarrassment and failure are remembered long after success and achievement forgotten

And that's something I think have gotten way to far.

>< ok i didn't relize that the slur hit that hard to its target, for i still have no idea of who insults, but then again all i ever hear is latino's calling each other names in spanish and african americans using every variation of the "n" word that they can there is and come up with a few more. what do they call white people crackers and next thing we know that word will be banned form message board even though most of us whites don't care. on a more personal note, i think the whole ethnic thing is just plain racial and i am waiting for someone to go to court to sue them for calling them it.
