I mean, I wouldn't ban someone for it. I wouldn't ban except if they disrupt gameplay. The internet is no place to be overly sensitive to trivial matters like a screen name.

PI, allowing racist crap like your screen name creates a hostile environment for black gamers and others who do face racism in their life. The screenname, by virtue of just showing up on the server list, encourages more racism. It's not trivial for the people who have to experience it.

The people who run the servers obviously do not a 'Call of Duty' type multiplayer experience for people (swearing, racism, sexism, etc.). They want a welcoming environment for everyone. If I ran a server I would've banned you.

it's just the first thing that came to mind.

Think Harder.

The thing is, there is no such thing as "Freedom of Speech" on the internet. Servers are private entities, and thus are exempt from such confines. A server owner can ban you or anyone else for any reason, even for "I don't like you." Getting banned for an offensive username is quite justified. Think of it from a server owner's perspective: How would other prospective players feel if the owner condoned such behavior? Losing players means that the server wont be as filled, and word-of-mouth removes any chance of sponsorships or advertising to keep the server afloat.

I wasn't aware that the Orgah's were so sensitive and PC nowadays.

It has nothing to do with being PC. It has everything to do with being a sensible human being. I mean come on, you just graduated high school, right? That means college next year, and in four years, you're totally on your own. You gotta think about these things. Part of growing up.

What you did is like having "I_love_hitler" as a username, and then not expecting Jews to get offended.

I'm Jewish, and I wouldn't be offended. It's clearly not meant in a serious manner, if it were, I wouldn't know it, and even if I did know that it was serious, I would man up and not care.

I know you are Jewish, and you might not care. But most likely, someone else would. I would, as someone who lost family in the Holocaust. And you cant hold everyone to your standards. You might not care and "man up" but you cant tell someone to do that as well.

That is a very mature attitude.
But be a little more mature and realise that not every can be as mature about these things as you.

It has always been Org policy to be respectful towards all people.

This isn't about you.

Being respectful of others means caring for how they will feel.
