Hey,

Very Great News indeed Krook. Glad you are taking a stand :) :)

if the guys statements have actually attacked other people he should be banned from lobby. i do not like nazism but ive seen people talk of their muslim fundamentalists beliefs which i dont really care to hear either. its not a matter of saying you are a nazi or a muslim its when you start verbally attacking other beliefs and groups that crosses the line. if that line is crossed he should be banned but people should also be censored for abusing holes in the language filters too.

the game is for late teen ratings but you never know that some 10 year old kid could be on there or someguys wife looks over his shoulder while he is viewing the lobby and sees some of the statements made on it and hits him over the head with a skillet.

I think what is most frustrating to me is the mindless and arbitrary censorship of normal conversation. Normal phrases such as: "but its spice" turn out as : *** ** *****. That phrase is completely censored by the lobby, while "I kill [enter ethnic group here]" is allowed.

Dont get me wrong, I agree with Elmarko-- but if CA is going to have some bogus censorship in place, they might want to improve its efficacy or remove it. Frankly, it only frustrates me when I'm trying to have a normal adult conversation and it does nothing to stop the abusive punks that are causing problems.

Just more crap we have to deal with if we want to play MP. Brilliant!

Can someone tell me why the word "spice" is banned?

I can sort of understand "but its" being an attempt to stop people from saying "tits".... but banning "spice"?

And whats wrong with tits anyway?

So now I have to say: "However, it is a flavorful condiment" when I want to refer to spice...

And dont ask me why I like spice so much, its none of your business :P

I believe the filter thinks you are using a derogatory term for "someone of hispanic heritage". The S and the P and the I and the C is a filterable term if they are trying to eliminate such. Not sure why the E though, unless it is just filtering out the entire word instead of just parts.

In my opion any nazi proganda should be punishable by HIV injection, then be thrown STRAIGHT into a volcano, whilst having stones thrown at them, If there still alive they'll be hung by there left foot from A really tall building.

Glad thats out of my system,

the problem i think would be solved if they actually had a human monitor watching the stuff as well as a bot. but that most likely wont happen unless someone does volunteer work for them.

"spice" mite be somethin inpolite in an other language....

they have cencored any curse in any language. thats why there are only few legal words left.
such as "sieg heil".

Once there was a clan in the lobby called [SS] and one of the guys was [SS]AryanPride. Anyways I joined his game "SS waffen 33rd Division" or some such thing, and he was talking about nazis and what not. Anyways mabye its the same guy?

Dont feed the troll.

This is the sort of reaction this person is aimming for. If he sees this thread he will be laughing his ass off.

I've got an idea, let's all call on CA to publically denounce the Roman Empire. After all it and it's instruments commited no smaller crimes against people and peoples than did hitler his puppies.

You know what happens, krook, when you demand things from devs? You basically have two options, nothing happens, or something you don't want happens.

Now, i'm all for educating stupid people as to the extent of their stupidty, but that pretty well applies to your attitude on this as well as the "'nazi's."

I mean, looking at it sensibly, which do we think is more fascist, a guy randomly spouting gibberish in free, public, online media. Or a guy demanding that person be silenced. I'd say you're the one displaying facist tendencies here, somebody in an mp lobby saying "sieg heil" is far more likely to be a socially inept, attention seeking child than a sociopathic nazi.

Or we could all take a look in the history books and the history of polish fascism and ban any mention of poland. Or the great winston churchill's views on certain minority groups. such as jews..

People are generally stupid, it's a biological thing, organic matter is rather random in its orientation. Screaming and moaning and sending pissed off emails about it won't change much for the better.

So whaddyado? When it's on an individual level you ignore it, whether truly held belief or randomly selected offensive material, it's no more important than an individual believing the sky is actually a drug induced mist of purple and orange liquer. If it's not seconded, it's meaningless. If it doesn't garner social attention, it's a waste of time.

I don't agree with Krook when he says "limitation of freedom of speech is freedom of other people", and not only for the bad grammar. Saying Nazi propaganda is, while morally questionable in my opinion, perrfectly legal and should remain so. It doesn't affect anyone's freedom, no more than any of the other propaganda commonly being shouted by various groups in the US.

Pro lifers trying to ban abortion clinics, fundamental christians wanting to teach creationism, liberals agitating for gay marriage, anti-gun groups trying to ban firearms, protesters against the war in Iraq, and let's not forget the small but vicious lobby against the Easter Bunny.

Everyone has an agenda and an ideology, let them say it if they want to.

The limit on free speech is endangering other people. You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded place when there isn't one because people can panic and someone can get trampled - that sort of thing.

Trying to stop someone from speaking because you simply don't agree is the real danger. And using the fact that you're Polish as an excuse is even worse! Unless you're old enough for the nazis to have done something to YOU personally (which would make youaround 80-90 now), don't wrap yourself in a martyr's clothes because your grandpa got shot in the war.

Btw, I'm Polish myself and I don't use these excuses, and of course I have family killed and hurt by the nazis. Do I hold personal rancor? No, that would be stupid.
