yes, while these words do not always have negative baggage with them in this day in age, it does not change the fact that these words were originally used to treat other humans like trash, attempting to make it so they were inferior. While it would also be nice to allow the words to be said without the negative baggage, thats just simply not possible. If were to let certain words to be said in certain contexts, it would be up to the admin online to decide if the context of the world was used in a racist manner. What flies with one admin doesn't always fly with other ones. We try to limit admin desecration as much as possible as it also limits admins playing favorites. The orgin of these words will always have the negative meaning.

Hey so I was playing on your server today when an admin warned me for racism. I had no idea what I had said until he pointed out my use of the "n" word. Yikes.
Before I go on, I want to be clear that I'm not trying to stir up trouble, provoke anybody, or just be a general nuisance. I don't know if I've played on your server in the past, but I enjoyed my time on it today and I think the staff is pretty laid back and chill. I appreciate that Irony (the staff who warned me) tried to explain the rule and directed me to the forums, rather than simply kick me or mute me. I can respect the restraint.
But I seriously have a problem with the apparent rule. I absolutely used the "n" word. I use it so often that I don't even consciously add it to my sentences anymore. Regardless, I can confidently say that I never said anything racist. My use of the word "niggah" was benign. It was a casual pronoun, not a derogatory insult. 
 
There's no such thing as a 'racist word'. A word can have a negative connotation attached to it, sure, but it's meaning is defined by context and perception. Beyond a small minority, I highly doubt anybody is going to be offended by the word I used, within the context I used it. I just can't fathom how casually referring to a friend as "nigga" could possibly be construed as an expression of racism. That's just not how language works. 
 
Now I completely understand the reasoning behind your rule! Trust me, I really do. I know how common it is to have mindless idiots pop into the server spewing inflammatory remarks simply to get a rise out of people. Trolls exist, of course. And I understand that having these rules makes the server more accessible and accommodating to any demographic. You guys are a community. You want to keep things inviting and friendly. 
But I really feel that arbitrarily banning words for their perceived negative baggage is just not the morally correct choice. I'd even go as far to say that it's divisive and alienating.
 
Again I'm honestly not trying to be contrary or annoying. I just seriously feel that the rules should be adjusted to address obvious racist intent and hate speech, rather than blacklist individual words.
The word is part of my vocabulary, but I'm not a racist person by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm sure there are plenty of people just like me. Is it really alright to punish us for thoughtlessly letting a word slip? I just can't wrap my head around it.
 
I hope you guys give this a little thought and approach it objectively. 
Either way, thanks for reading!

Once again not at all what I was saying, it seriously isn't racist. If you find nig offensive then I don't know what to tell you but to me and a lot of people I know it isn't offensive

Not at all what I was trying to say lol. I was just saying I hate racism so no real reason for me to be racist... Nig isn't even close to racist also.

"I hate racism so I can say racist words whenever I want!"

The warden told all the T's to freeze in the eastern side of the river on dojo, which puts them in the part of the river that's in deathrun. Afterwards he said they would be playing deathrun when he typed go and told the CTs to not press the first button (meaning the button that kills everyone in the river). Leeroy said something along the lines of "lol the first button is the door button fuck you warden" and pressed the button that killed all the Ts before the warden even typed go.

oh my sweet summer child...

he's a pretty garbage paidmin. dude restricted me for 20 rounds after I killed a T from VIP cell running up the armory ladder on shel when all the other cells were closed because some 8 year old yelled "FREEKILLLL!" it took like 4 rounds of me yelling at him in admin chat for him to unrestrict me (if you can't tell i'm still salty)

ok see you tomorrow hazel

Is it just me or are their a lot more apology posts lately? To be completely honest I never know if I should take them seriously or expect them to come back and troll flame some more regardless of  whether they posted about personal life issues or not. This community, these people are supposed to be like an escape from all that and I get it sometimes people can't help themselves and bring that stuff here to, but if you really want time to clear your head and enjoy some games with good people they should leave their personal shit off the community. Make good friends with people you can trust and talk to them about it in PM's and shit. 
 
Time and time again I've seen explosive and destructive behavior that turns the entire community against them and it doesn't help when RL is giving you shit and you make the online life hate you in the process. Then where ya supposed to go to get a breather from the world today?
