Allow some sort of response from players. Shutting every single thread will result in a spam of forum threads. It seems really harsh that a valued character has been banned indirectly as a result of an offensive Alt.

Griefing is bannable so why don't you go clear the noobs from mudwall and see some high level players disappear? They'd absolutely lose their ****.

No BH just isn't interested in responding again and again about the same thing so people on LOMCN can have their weekly splash of drama :P

Quite regularly i hunt in OmaLair and at certain times of day you will see a white dot on your mini-map, indicating a player is nearby. When you run to them, they random teleport before you even see their name. Now - this happening once or twice may just be down to them being a very evasive player. But, when you see this happen 10 to 20 times in 1 hour, you know for a fact that it is a bot that is evading you.

This **** happens, and it seems is allowed on Mir Chronicles.

But a joke shout in town? Ban with no warning. Hell, even cheaters got warnings. But something chat related is an immediate ban? Ridiculous.

The fact that the threads just get closed instead of a GM responding to the thread (in my case - clarifying the rules) is also quite ridiculous.

So why not rethink his hasty action and unban the account, and he wont have to.

Its quite clear it was a rash decision... Its the internet, he could spend every waking second of his life trying to censor it, and will fail. Where does he stop?

Babyhack made a stupid decision and is refusing to go back on it out of pride? I have no idea.

Unless all terrorist related names or any names that can be deemed offensive are removed, then this is blatant bias.

An is no willing to let people who are totally unrelated to the subject discuss on a forum, is almost like a dictatorship. Are you Hitler in disguise. (Please dont be offended by this, its a joke)

you hav enot listened to what BH said. the guy was running around asking people to join ISIS that is something he shouldnt really be doing.

on the other hand some consistency needs to be added to the way things are handled. lots of names in the game that are very pffensive in the right situation.

does one letter different mean its not as offensive? i have seen many like this.

ye i forgot isis target a dying game to recruit.

Clearly it was a joke, a distasteful one to some, but still a joke.

Babyhack jumped on some high horse and refusing to realise he over reacted.

To be honest I think it's well deserved.

Any scum bag willing to support such things even as a joke, is in my eyes worth every punishment he gets.

Let a family member of yours get killed by a terrorist group and let's see how you feel about them.

I find it extremely hard to believe (I'm sure BH did too, hence the ban), that throughout the process of making this character, they didn't think about it one bit? There's a joke, where it can be humerous or insulting....then there's this, where it's damn right disrespectful and outrageous. We don't want this **** in the world as it is, let alone arse holes like you making it into "jokes". Even if it could have been looked at as a "joke" by that stage, the dick head goes one step further and shouts recruitment for a terrorist group....

Well....fking...deserved....Good job BH.

You are so thick.
It's not even worth breaking down your post to let you know why..

You don't care as much about families that the Taliban killed?
What about those that have died from AIDS?

I guess you wouldn't laugh at anything said by George Carlin?

I think an unbanning of the account but banning of the character would have been an alright thing to do. Obviously these threads are now just fueled from the hatred of locked threads and differentiating opinions.

I'll give my 2cents on it. As you lot know I made a character called AdolfCritler. I found it humorous and so did many others. I got by fine, perhaps making a few hitler jokes along the way but again, no offense taken.

It happened a long time ago. Hitler's just as much as a **** as ISIS, but because ISIS is constantly talked about and pushed onto us by the media as of late, people are upset by it more. Even if they aren't in any way effected, people are more upset because not enough time has passed for a joke to be made.

Did mampi do something stupid? yes. Has he gone about this the wrong way? yes. But should his main character be banned for a stupid troll joke on another character? In my opinion, no.

It's important to set clear guidelines and rules. I have friends who were constantly harassed with racist remarks since the server came up by a certain individual and he was never punished for it, nor warned. If you're going to take a FIRM stance on things (which is great) such as this now then publicy state so and give people a final warning. Then there can be absolutely no argument and no controversy.

Nor should he, I fully condone what he's done. It's one step to make a joke say in guild chat or amongst friends, to make a character called "JihadJohn" and to say recruiting for ISIS is a new level completely, because you WILL offend someone, it's like going into a town and shouting it that's effectively what you did. You pissed off people, yeah you may of got a few laughs here and there, great job. Ultimately though there are people scowling and you and probably want to kick a few bells into you, why? Because that's the way the world works. This person isn't a paid comedian, nor did anyone pay to see his "stand-up".

He shouted he was recruiting for ISIS a known hot topic right now, as JihadJohn, as such got banned. I see no qualm with it. Why? Because i'm not an insensitive child seeking attention and the praise of people for being a bell end. I'm past high-school thanks.

Think that's the only time i've had such a rant. Kori if someone was being constantly harassed by racism did they send screenshots to the team? or did they just say he was saying this? As I know BH has a firm stance [infact most / all admins of MC] on racism which is 0 Tolerance I believe. I'm quite sure had someone complained about your name, he would of forced you to change it. It was more than likely you were just under the radar.

And for the record, deleting posts was me. BH Locked one thread on the issue and to be fair I don't even think this needs to be discussed.
