Guest Midget186 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 All right... I'm going to try and keep my cool here, but no promises, I'm freaking mad. At 9:21PM -5GMT, I was private messaged by, ah crap, what was that morons name... um... well, maybe it will come back to me. Anyways, yes, he private messaged me saying that my name was 'politically incorrect' and that I need to change it. Well, I figured it was just another -*BAD WORD*- disturber so I was rather blunt saying "Perhaps... but its just my nickname, I've had it for seven years given to me by friends because I was small for my age. The Internet is a politically incorrect place so if you have a problem with it you'll have to deal with it." He continued to warn me and tell me to change it eventually saying I have 30 seconds to change it or I will be kicked and banned, I ignored him. Then he posted a nice big pretty red MODDERATOR message; I also ignored that. Lo and behold! To my surprise I was actually kicked! ...however I was just able to log back in so apparently I'm not banned. Never the less, yeah... now I thought I had a point to posting this other than to -*BAD WORD*- and complain... Ah! Yes, to alert everyone of this and hopefully stop it from happening again because it’s absurd. If people are acually going to be banned for having a politically incorrect name then half the people in this game would be gone. I guess this is useless becuase I can't remember his name... So yeah... I'll be posting here again if it happens again or I remember the name. Quote
Yupa Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 mmm, that's pretty stupid ...and I thought *kill'ing isn't allowed for 17th staff? Quote
Naedhaha Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 *kill'ing is aloud just without a number after it. And if you can't remember the name/nick ask a sysop to cheak the file things. Quote
ntfx Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Yeh I wonder which ban you are talking about lol or you're posting in the wrong forum Quote
Delic Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 He didn't get banned.I was there when they were talking about it, it was Foof/Tremor who warned him for his name and then supposedly disconnected him. Silly Foofy. Quote
Telson Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 what was the nickname? if there is nothing wrong with it.. then you should have no problems posting it here Quote
Yupa Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 given to me by friends because I was small for my age guessing it's the same as his forum nick Quote
DaKillaRoach Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Midget? Maybe f00f is small? Quote

MikeTheNose Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Midget is derogatory. In what country do you live in that has that name and feels it's not insulting? Quote
talion Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 i thought you were supposed to call them little people. edit: man vs. beast (2), anyone? Quote
Tipme Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 but the thing is he had it for yearswhy do people (foof) care nowwhat? foof got mad in a rumble match? Quote
GhettoSmurf Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 o no, not another 'offensive names' thread...interesting though, that the other one i'm thinking of (the whole nazi thing genocide started) was caused by hasty actions by foof... Quote
DaKillaRoach Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 f00f has something against peoples names? Quote
Delic Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Midget is derogatory. In what country do you live in that has that name and feels it's not insulting?It's not in Spain, nor in Uruguay, and as far as I know not here (Sweden) either. It's just another word for "dwarf" in my eyes.. Quote
Bach Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 -Edit: Forum Trolling, Consider this your warning- Quote
DaKillaRoach Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Midget isnt a offensive word. I dont know anyone who is small that minds being called midget (and i know alot of my friends are. One of them is 16, and only 4foot9. That classifies her medically as a 'Dwarf' which she finds kinda funny ^_^ Quote
MikeTheNose Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Killa, I wasn't saying there aren't people who don't mind. I am saying that there are people who do. Gee people, there's enough problems with the jew's against the nazi's. Quote
Cid Firefist Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 wow, 17th is really getting gay.... Quote
Naedhaha Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 lol because ppl like you are here apple ?? Quote
DaKillaRoach Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 You cant say the word Midget is offensive to people online! Did anyone complain about that name? It hasnt been brought up that they did. Gawd, you might as well start saying Coeky Flow's name is wrong because it has the word 'Coke' in it, and thats promoting drugs! Or Someone finds the word Killer(/a in my account) wrong for some other daft reason. You cant go banning people because of silly things like that. Its a JOKE at the moment. Quote
»Swift Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Well this is my small opinion on the matter at hand. Mike - first off it's your zone so I will not step on your toes at all because I'm a good friend of yours, but the fact of the matter is it's just a nickname that he has had for 7 years and now you want him to change the nickname to play in the zone? Common sense on one hand dictates letting the veteran player use his nickname, -*BAD WORD*- I wanna know if someone finds the nickname Swift degrading.. it COULD mean you are Swift in bed but no it just means quick. Nothing else. So yeah.. just my small point on the subject. Hate to be the -*BAD WORD*- but I was asked to reply Quote
