During a major fleet battle today in Tenal, one of the major editors of EveNews24.com decided to type racist remarks in local chat.

[18:05:30] riverini > DIE NIGGERS1 DIE!!!

The CFC members having been negatively affeccted by these racist remarks did the appropriate thing, and began to file petitions with CCP. However, within moments, a GM informed the CFC members that they should no longer file any petitions, and many petitions filed by members are already closed.

The CFC members were then told "just block him"

Blocking someone is not an action that all members of the CFC should have to take because another eve player decides to post racist remarks in local chat.

CCP really should make this pilot abide by TOS and EULA when playing this game, and if he cannot play the game along those lines, then maybe he should not be allowed to play. Why should we all suffer in this game due to a racist?

Wow. That wasn't hard to fake at all.

So CCP stands against "cyber bullying" but endorses and supports racism. To the gaming media

Oh dear, shall I also start petitioning the term "jew" when describing people making money ?

Pretty sure that covers a lot of the CFC.

It's a slippery slope - especially when it's bathed in your blood.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

EvE Online is a cut throat gaming environment with evil individuals who will sell your mother to pilot their Tech3. You are getting offended over a derogatory word? Sure, it's widely inappropriate in Real Life, but with many games... There is a pvp solution.

If you don't like getting called names, teach them a lesson. Petitioning to get someone banned is not a legit strategy. It actually goes to show how weak you are.

If your skin isn't thick enough to shrug off such derogatory language, perhaps gaming in general is not for you. You will see this language everywhere. How you react to it is up to you.

Just hunt him down and pod him. Let him swear up and down because of that.

That's the beauty of EvE Online. Anything and Everything goes. The Game is player run. So run it.

"Jew" is a recognised word with a non-abusive meaning. It's not more inherently insulting than calling someone "Christian" or "Bhuddist".

If words like "k*ke" were used, that would be a closer equivalent.

"Just remember later that I warned against any change to jump ranges or fatigue. You earned whats coming."

This thread is not so much about what he said, but rather the unique response CCP has decided to take when there is no press involved in the incident.

If he posted this then petition it. CCP GM's are actually pretty good at dealing with potty-mouthed idiots attempting to cyber-harrass people with their intense stupidity.

Just go back to the timecode bazaar and stop bothering the fine folks in general discussion.
