Wrongfully Banned

[fireballz]

i was playing baseelim on my newest name, Cracker, when i was pmed by Diakka <ER> to get off the name. i told him cracker was a legit name in TW, i even asked a mod before i logged into tw with the name, he said it was fine because it's not considered racist in tw or on obscene. even after i told diakka this he continued to harass me and told me i had 10 secs to log off or he'd ban me. i didn't log off because i knew i had done nothing wrong and after about another min i get a warning from WPE <ER> telling me to get off the name and that cracker was considered racist in TW. i told WPE that cracker was a food and to even look it up in the dictionary if he didn't believe me, a few secs later i was banned. here is the log of what happened:

Log file open: cracker

WARNING: Disconnected from server

i did nothing wrong and was playing belim when i was harassed by these shit staffers. i was minding my own business & not once did i use the word cracker in a derogatory way. if the name was illegal i wouldn't even be able to log into TW with it, like the N word & other racist names that are blocked from the TW server. staff always blows things out of proportion, so let's not overlook what the word cracker really is, a tasty thin crisp treat

unban me thx

Free Fbz!

This is preposterous! Cracker's main meaning is just a type of food, why would he get banned for having the name of a food. It's not like he went into baseelim and starting respresenting his name to be racist by making certain remarks about it, he just played the game and minded his own buisness. I don't see why anyone would get banned for using a legit name (see dictionary if you don't believe me) in a non-offensive way. This is obvious paranoia on staff's part, taking a normal everyday word and trying to turn it into a big thing involving racism. N***** is more understandable for being banned, because you can't use that word in anyway without it resembling the actual meaning of the word, but cracker on the otherhand, its a food, thats its main meaning! Staff should start thinking before making such drastic decisions without good reason. Fbz should be unbanned immediatly for this undeserved ban. This is preposterous!

I'm sorry, but Crackers taste good. If you don't like them you should ban ppl for liking them :/.

Watch out Wadi's probably comin soon. He's gonna close this shizzle.

Old rules like the "no racism rule" need to be updated and enforced sometimes. I think it should just be blocked, a ban for this is kinda of hard to justify, not that TW staff has to take the moral high ground. It's not TW's fault if SSC decided not to block the name.

[Necromotic]

i agree with fbz. nothing wrong with the name cracker.

[gerry]

Did Diakka strike again?

*LOL*

Did he also use the the fake warn on his PM?

HAHAH!!

That shit made me laugh last night.

The kid doesn't even have mod powers, yet he thinks he owns everyone's life. A little kid like that doesn't have the right judgment to make those kind of calls. Let him grow up a little first.

[Awesome]

Crackers are delicious.
Diakka, if your mom was gonna serve you some crackers with your afternoon snack, would you ban her for racism too?

Cracker is fine. If he can log into it then there really isn't an issue. When I think "Cracker" I think just that, salted crackers to eat. If you think automatically cracker as a white person, you've got some issues to deal with.

As far as it being the "white version of the N word" it's completly isn't. If i said the "n word" on it's own, it only has one singular meaning, cracker has more than one. It's crappy slang anyways, you're telling me if i got everybody to start using the name wheat as slang for somethign raicst, that if i ever used wheat i'd be banned? Pfft.

yup

[Gemfire]

if you say cracker i think of the food, say cracka i think of the deragatory comment...and maybe its just me...but does any other white person find that word at all offensive? I dont o_O
