So if i call someone Australian, i can also get banned for racism? Last time i checked Africans aren't race.
Funny how Fat_Cobra agreed with me when I spoke with him later. It can be taken in 2 ways which he later realized.
Something you lot seem to forget is that we don't just ban when seeing the word nigger or so. There has to be a context. If someone just takes it from a song that he hears in the game, they can simple explain that (again, context), it can be verified, they get warned to be careful with it, and done we are.
In the case of Fat_Cobra here, it can, as I said, be taken in 2 ways which are these 2: "No African, faggots." or "No, African faggots." It really depends on how you read it. That's the downside of not using proper capitalization.

Here it's pretty obvious he is not using it in a friendly way.
Also, on the topic of swearing, I don't mind swearing. If people die and say "Shit" or "Fuck" or whatever, nothing I would mute for. But if they flame the person that killed them, with for example "Fuck you, moronic piece of shit", I will mute them. It's easy as that. You know the rules, you come here to play. We welcome you to play but there simply are rules.
