SpectatorOK I think I have told kek and several other administrators how I feel about the word ‘*edited*’ or any likeness of that word be it ‘nucca’ ‘*edited*’ Whatever is very hurtful, and widely synonymous with racism. I don’t see why it is considered ‘cool’ or why it is considered ‘fun’ to use these words. I would expect that most administration would be respectable enough not to use it.
Apparently this assumption is wrong. Since not even 15 mins ago Rossy thought it was ‘cool’ to come into the server as Big*edited* whatever he was using as his name. When I said something about it he felt it ok to tell me to stfu and muted me. So then when I said he abused admin as my username he kicks me because I wouldn’t change it back till he apologized for all that is said above as well as calling me kid? What is with that? … because you really do know me and know for a fact you are older than me. This is very disrespectful and childish behavior that I would expect from a ‘kid’ not a administrator of your server.
I do enjoy playing there (WCU Server) and being chill, but this overuse of racist terms and childish bahavior prevents me from keeping my cool and having a good time. I am of African decent and I am African-American. You might not understand why I take offense to this, but I do and I think it is part of your rules to not use racist or vulgar terms such as these.
I don’t think I am being unreasonable for asking for an apology and being brash when someone throws around words such as these without proper understanding of what it means to some people. I have friends that won’t touch Counter-Strike 1.6 because racism is widely known through it.
For the mean time I would appreciate it if you could curb the use of these words and discourage administration from the use of it, and the abuse of their privileges when resulting in confrontation after they know what they have done is wrong and instead apologize for said actions.
It isn’t a hard concept to grasp, and it is something that needs major consideration by your administration.
Thanks for your time,

SpectatorYeah, I completely agree with you. Things need to change, not just solely racism towards African Americans, but towards all the races people discriminate against in the servers. Plus, it is making the image of our college negative.

Spectatori try to keep it in hand when I’m on the server i am sorry that you had to hear those comments towards your. I will continue to try and make sure racist comments are not being used when I’m in the server and racist names are not being used . If you can the next time it happens hopefully it won’t please go to our irc channel i think were adding a link to it to the website to better help our guests of the server in there times of need

SpectatorI would go to your IRC, but unfortinately at my college (MTSU) IRC is blocked on all ports. They instituted Cisco Clean Access here to monitor all bandwidth usage. I also totally agree with princess. Earlier yesterday I saw some hispanic kids getting insulted and called racist remarks as well. It is an on going thing within the WCU server. I can deal with it to some degree, but Rossy set me off when he came into the server named as Big*edited*. Whether you are administration or not I am gonna say something as I would assume anyone would.
Anyways Thanks for your understanding on this issue

Spectatorheem, werent you the one that said ‘white kid got owned!’ to me like 2 days ago? and continuosly saying ‘you want Mcdonalds little kid?’ i dont remember what the full name was but i know the had ‘FvR’ at the start of thier name. and ex dont play mister nice guy. remember when you muted me for saying ‘**** off’ in response to someone saying ‘white kid got owned!’ to me? i have it in a demo somewhere, so no use lying. you told me to respect others and not say that to them and had me muted for quite a while. it was in the prodigy map i think. im pretty sure my friend was there ‘nub chubby bear’

SpectatorAdambomb is going to be very upset when he gets up. The head admins on the server will take care of this. Please post any screen shots that you have as proof of this.
October 2, 2006 at 11:54 am #12468pyro urban
Spectatori dont have screenies i just have demos which i will have to go through because they have different names. im sure you can ask ex if this happened. you shouldn’t have kept him up late ashley. with the prank calls to me when i was asleep, bad personal secretary! muahahaha lol.
heres my post from the chatbox, it may be a bit of repitition but im putting it here, so they can delete the one in the chatbox, cause its very big.
i agree with heem. and the thing is there are usually no admins until about 1 or 2 pm during the day. and at random times during the evening and the night, because you guys are scrimming or doing something and you therefoire don’t go in the server. if i think there is a hacker i call dice using aim, but i dont want to bug him for someone being rascist. someone said to me ‘white boy got owned!’ and i said ‘**** off’ ex actually muted me and i have that in a demo somewhere because i always have demo’s running when kore is in with me.
October 2, 2006 at 11:57 am #12469hEEM
SpectatorI don’t remember me saying that, but if I did I apologize. I normally don’t say anything unless provoked. A lot of the players of FvR are either Korean or African-American a few white, but a recent increase in racist garbage might have caused a few to lash out. As I said before a lot of my friends don’t touch the game due to racism. My roomy metaph0r.kr as well as his friend Grubby.kr play for us. Do those names ring any bells? I don’t think Grubby would say anything, but metaph0r gets pretty heated in game sometimes lately due to some accusations being made.
I don’t consider white boy racist as much as if they called you cracker or something. It is the same concept as someone calling me black or black guy (which happens regularly), but to each his own. Let me know any information you got.

Spectatorits not just ‘white boy’ its the way he said it i guess that made me mad. but all i said was f off and the admin muted me. those names are familiar but i dont remember who it was. i know i also played with you a few times. im ‘urban @ hellgaming’ or ‘TEH KID @ hellgaming’

SpectatorThe one thing that I don’t get is that rossy connects, then changes his name about 1 min later and you make comments like ‘owned by a black man at your own game’ and when Ross tells you that your annoying and you need to shut up you get really defensive and change your name. Not to mention that you keep the name FvR BigCrackerhEEM for 2-3 maps. Did you think we were going to overlook this? If I would have came in and saw that name I would have kicked you or banned you for a day. Just because it was there and if I saw Ross with his name I would have banned him also until the upper admins sorted it out. But don’t think we are going to overlook your actions also my friend. Why would a person who is against racism stoop that low. AND THEN come into our forums and ask for an apology.

Anyway you make it sound like we are supporting this. You know that we don’t. As for the most part our servers are clean of racism. The only time I will ban someone and it may be taken as racism is because of their language. If someone comes in with a 200+ ping and are talking over the mic ghosting In a foreign language I will ban them. Because 2 reasons. 1 they are not likely to become a WCU student being that they don’t even live on this continent, and 2 it’s very unfair that they ghost and it is against the rules. Other than that nobody is banned at random.October 2, 2006 at 1:24 pm #12487pyro urban

Spectatorurban, just let the admins and the accuser talk on these types of threads. Nothing against you.
October 2, 2006 at 1:46 pm #12492Ver1tas23
Spectatoryea i find a lot of it too… and heem… i do understand what you are sayin but i have always had an argument about this… black people can say it to each other, as in a way to say ‘you are my boy’. but if they dont want others (diff races) to say it to them or around them, then why do they cont. to use it… you dont see white people sayin.. ‘whats up honky’…
i understand in the past… the white man has used it for wrong reasons… but what most of the black people that i know at least, dont realize, is that they are completely hypocritical with it (much as you were when u changed ur name until ross would apologize). black people dont wanna be called ‘*edited*s’ by anyone other than black people. but then they turn around and use racist terms about other races… ex: calling a white person ‘whiteboy’ ‘honky’ ect, ect…
although whiteboy does not have the past that ‘*edited*’ might have, you have to realized when someone of one race, uses a term to single out another race, it IS racism… no matter what the term…
im not saying anything against you, but before you come and *edited* next time, make sure that you werent hypocritical with it, because in my eyes, because you retaliated… your in the wrong…
and as admin, ross reserved the right to mute your chat if he deems that you are being offensive with what you are saying… (im not the head person, thats just my opinion)
October 2, 2006 at 1:47 pm #12493rossy
SpectatorIN MY Defense. i was in a pug. i apologize for it. it was my name for 2 seconds . it was switched right away. im sorry this guy has an issure with not completing objectives and being a compulsive liar. josrocket was there the WHOLE Time i came in last night. adam so check in w/ in befor eyou believe all this crap
October 2, 2006 at 1:51 pm #12495rossy
Spectatorand bigni@#er was never my name.. get out of here kid. and urban is right. heem was making comments. and bashing other players name. i repeatedly amx_mute him to get him to stop. he is just making stuff up to lash out at me. i awas never racist in pub. i had an offensive name for about 2 seconds which was immediatly changed an i remember apologizing to you. and adam thank you for my defense. i had an innorpoiate name which i immediaetly fixed. and i was never mean or said anything to any race.
October 2, 2006 at 1:53 pm #12498Ver1tas23
Spectatorand heem by my post… i was not defending one side or the other as far as the racism goes… neither of you were right… and had i been there… i would have gotten onto both of you… so plz dont think that was directed straight at you… it was more in general… because i dont like racism, i dont care if your the president of the US… so all that to say… plz dont take that as me against you and behind ross… i was speaking to everyone as well

I know you don’t support it, and most if not all of the admins don’t either. I’m saying that people do it in the server that don’t even go to this school, and those are the ones we need to watch for. And you’re right, it’s a public place, it’s not going to be perfect and people are going to be offended, but we have to stop what we can. For the most part though, the servers seem clean.
October 2, 2006 at 2:43 pm #12503hEEM
SpectatorLet’s get a few facts straight here for the record. Yea I did use that name after seeing him use his big*edited*sonice name, but only after I was muted. I responded back to an immature name and getting instantly muted by making one. Maybe that is hypocritical, but the amount of times I get called *edited* in a server spans near 100 a day, and muting me on top of that gives me my reasons. I said once he joined ‘yea you should change your name’ and after I said that I was told to stfu and was muted. Then I proceeded to change my name and use the same childish behavior he resorted too. I play eye for an eye now because I am quite frankly tired of being the butt of everyone elses amusement.
When I was unmuted next map cranberryjuice and I were talking about MD* Big Mac because he was owning it up and was talking about how we wanted Mcdonalds. I even asked what MD stood for, and someone said Mcdonalds. Then cranberryjuice changed his name to McChicken, and before he left he said ‘I’m out’ and I asked ‘going to get some McChicken?’ because it was a running joke based on the guys name. It wasn’t starting anything with anyone so to repeatedly mute me again after that for no reason was really awesome. I don’t say things back to people unless they provoke it. If they use a racist term I say something back if they whine about something in game that is stupid I refute it.
Also in response to veritas I don’t use any version of the word with any of my friends. We have the general understanding that *edited*, nucca, *edited*, whatever you want to call it is the same *edited* thing. Same meaning different pronouncing. It isn’t anything new and I think any person of my culture that is dumb enough to think it means something different is just what the word means ‘ignorant’. That is what they are calling eachother when they use it in any other form. You will never catch me on the server using it either. As for white/black since generally white people are too lazy to profile me as African-American and just call me black I don’t see the difference. If you can’t take the time to call me African-American than why should I take the time to call you anything but white? You call it Racial profiling, but you people do it to me everyday all day. Why should I better myself when the majority of you can’t better yourselves? I ask these questions all the time. Don’t take this as a personal insult to you veritas maybe you are on the good path, but majority of people who play CS 1.6 or who are white in general do the same things. Not all of them use racist terms, but all of they call me black I know that much for sure. I was in the wrong by lashing back, but when your at my point you only take so much till you hit back. Thats how most people react by instinct.
Also in your defense ross this isn’t the first time you have done something stupid like this cause I have seen you use nucca and *edited* before several times like it is a ‘cool’ thing to do. That Big*edited*sOnIce *edited* was enough, but then you mute me right off for saying ‘you should change the name’. Thats why I changed my name is because you wanted to cross the line further. You have no one, but yourself to blame. Call me a liar all you want you know what your name was, you know u muted me right off and started this stuff, and you know you got what you deserved. I am not going to back down to punks that think its cool to use that word for whatever purposes. It is just what it means and always will mean plain ignorance.
In the long run I wasn’t the one starting this whole mess and the one causing the problems. Also I have a feeling your buddy you pugged with if he was smart wouldn’t have aproved of that retarded name either. If you think being racist helps you fit in and is cool that is pretty sad and pretty shaddy, and yes I did come here and ask for an apology from ross because last time I checked he started it and brought it on himself by muting me just for saying ‘you should change that name’. Develop whatever little preconceived notions you want that is pretty much all there is too it.
If you don’t control the racism of people who run the server why should I be on good behavior especially when I didn’t start the drama? :/
Thanks,
FvR hEEM.zw
EDIT – YOU KNOW THE FUNNIEST THING IS YOU TRY TO JUSTIFY THE USE OF THAT NAME WOW THAT IS HILARIOUS. Sorry that is the funniest thing I have ever heard. What African-American in their right mind would be friends with someone who uses the name Big*edited*sOnIce let alone pug with them??????? If that is true our culture is really gone down hill I’ll tell you that much… LOL
October 2, 2006 at 3:00 pm #12505pyro urban
Spectatoradam doesn’t want me to post, but do not say you people, because i know almost no one here has ever done something rascist. and this is the first ive heard about ross being rascist. maybe a bit ageist against me lol, but nothing serious. and just so you know there are logs so the admins know the truth
October 2, 2006 at 3:03 pm #12506rossy
Spectatorif anyone breaks any of the rules of server. they are asked to fix it. or they are kicked/slayed etc so the game goes back to its normal fun atmostphere. my name was against rules and was instantly changed. you on the other hand feel the need to disrespect other players. bash other players names etc. do not accuse me of untrue things. we can look thought everything typed, done , every command in the server and see the actual truth. please stop your lies. there is nothing more to be said. no one is putting you down for your race. its a computer game. i dont know the race of anyone playing nor do i really care. if your getting called a [censored] 100 times a day… maybe start keeping a lower profile and typing less.. which is where my amx_mute command came into play as in to keep you from having people bash you. i look out for the well being and image of the server and what it represents. in the server playing i try to promote a good atmostphere. if you fail to see this i am very sorry for you. you keep bringin up the name change. which adam proved was changed within 1 minutre. i connected and swtiched. dont let one small thing make you crazy. in thruth… move past.. keep playing and have fun. thats what this is about. if your not having fun and enjoying life theres no purpose to do what you do. no one here INCLUDING me is putting you down for your race or anything else about you. have a good day kid

Spectatoras for hEEM if you want me to drag out exactly what you were saying and waste more of my time. I will gladly assist you in proving that there was no wrong doing here. As for any actions being taken. Dice and Josh will look at it.
October 2, 2006 at 6:08 pm #12520hEEM
SpectatorYou don’t seem to understand what I am saying ross. The Name thing wasn’t the only issue at hand. You muted me 1 minute after u changed the name cause all I said was ‘you need to change your name’ and told me to stfu. That isn’t untrue nor a lie. If you read the logs thats exactly what u did soon as I said something about your name. You didn’t give me much of a chance to explain myself or do anything u just muted me. It isn’t about just the name it is about u muting me consistantly for reasons that aren’t understandable.
Bashing people? Only person I recall bashing was some guy complaining about someone awping or something and I said something to him other than that there was no bashing. It was mostly cranberryjuice and I joking around which btw we did earlier today not even a few hours ago.
I don’t think you guys totally understand why I am angry part of it is the name part of it is me getting muted 5 times for reasons I don’t understand or seem reasonable. If you want to talk about it hit me on AIM @ LDTroa.
I’m sorry if you consider this issue a ‘waste’ of your time. I can move past it and get over it, but I don’t like being muted for no reason and I didn’t like the name issue, and it is a combination of the 2 issues is why I lashed out not just one.
Also I am not trying to drag WCU’s name through the mud. This was the actions of one admin not any others in the organization so don’t misconstrew it as that please.I’m not out to make a martyr of someone based on a racist name used either I just want to come to an understanding on the situation.
I honestly really don’t see why developing and understanding of the issue is a waste of your ‘time’.

SpectatorIf its allright with adam, i/he will email you the logs for teh time perios this happened Its quite overwelming to look at… and pick out every tid bit of info. that may or may not be there.
as far as teh amx_mute it only blocks/mutes typing… you can still talk Via Mic back and forth… join the other team if alltalk is not on so you and teh other guy can talk about Mc D’s.
i agree with ross in that if someone was using raceism/bashing/offending comments its best to block them from typing them out.
this is teh 1st time in nearly 2years something like this has came up. by making this thread you have allready reminded every admin to keep an eye out for raceism. and it should not happen to anyone agen on our servers.
