Is there a ban for swearing and racism??

[UnRateD]

I called someone in a pub a "stupid merry noob" (get what i mean) and he says that he will get me banned for that. I then told him to go to hell. So is there a ban for being rude or racist in game? thanks

[KnacK]

maybe you should be banned for inciting it......
WHY in the world did you, as a relatively NEW player call someone else a n00b? Let alone a stupid ghey n00b.

Ever look in the mirror?

And you wonder why we have issues in the pubs......

I wonder how many potential players are turned away from the game by people making statements like that.

I'd say at least half.  If not more.

well the guy was spawning for about 3 mins and that gets very annoying - after asking him to stop politely and him not listening, poeple DO get aggravated.

Happens a lot... I can be known to get fairly angry on my... quite bad days...

EDIT

Racism is a nono

* KnacK makes mental note....

* KnacK will call UnRateD a stupid ghey n00b whenever he does something KnacK doesn't agree with........

I don't know how many leave over it, but I know my wife for one won't play because of the racism, constant put-downs etc. And yet while we have measures on the forums to prevent it we don't in-game.

In-game moderators would be one way to handle it.

1. Frequent servers where players act someone civil
2. Server ops need to police their servers.
3. Different countries might not find certain words or phrases obscene where that might be the case in others.

Sadly, thats how almost all gaming is as more and more younger, immature kids begin to play online.

That would be very difficult to implement correctly.

Not many civil servers out there now a days.

In a quick defence for me and others like me, the put-downs are not contant - these things don thappen with me all the time - once about a month youll get some guy who spawns or does something annoyin or w/e. With this persons constant annoyance I have seen many poele complain about how one of DP2's weakness is that the people that want to play a fun fair game can't becasue of some stupid spawner or liner.

"* KnacK will call UnRateD a stupid ghey n00b whenever he does something KnacK doesn't agree with........"

Knack most players dont agree with spawning and lining, and Im just pointing it out. Sure they're new and stuff, but that doesnt mean they should be allowed to ruin other people's experience.

[KnacK]

Let me ask you a question: What server were you playing on when this happened and what map was it?

Also, it is up to server owner/operators to handle this problem.

[UnRateD]

It was syncmasters...probs 2-3 weeks ago or summat.

Ahh the truth comes out.

If you play on a speed server, DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING SPAWN CAMPED!!!!
You chose your poison now quit complaining. 
Speed servers, like jump servers, were never meant to be part of DP's traditional game mode.
