While the game is on the topic of getting rid of racial slurs, can we also add the slur for people with mental handicaps to the filtered list? 

Its fucking embarrassing that I even have to type this.

I see the same 10 year olds who use the n-word also throwing around the r-word. 

I'm not a fucking liberal snowflake, this is a RSPS and just seeing that toxic shit in chat is so embarrassing.

Thanks for the feedback gamers.

 

After sitting back and watching the yell chat over the weekend, it has indeed got out of hand and seems to do more harm than good on Alora and that's not what anyone wants. From here on, the word won't be allowed and any account with the word "nigga" in it will have a name change after the rule is updated. Any variation of the word such as "nibbla, rigga, n1gg4" etc. will also be muteable and explained in the rules fully.

 

The rule will be updated shortly.

Also, the filter will still be put in place as far as I know. I will update on that once I get more info regarding it.

 

Thanks again

This is literally ALL we were trying to accomplish. A community cannot be a community with racism running rampant. It may seem like no big deal to a select few, but I believe this thread showed the community's true thoughts on the matter. Thank you Lowkey for your efforts.

Also, the rules are a joke

 

"Within Alora, we seat a culturally diverse community. Communities contain different races, beliefs, ethics, sexual orientations, etc. It is vital that we preserve and protect each culture and that we ensure equality throughout Alora as a whole."

 

It's literally in the rules already.. and we're having this discussion. How a derogatory term towards people of color unrelated to this???

@Foundational

Why call my man a retard? Please just stop.

Full support. 

I would love to remove demeaning words related to people who have mental disabilities. I hate when morons use the "R" word in exchange for stupid things. Maybe Ill make my own post about that.

As many said before me, shouldn't even be up for debate.

A FILTER IS NOT A FIX!

I know if you used the n word no matter the way it's said or spelled in my country, you'd get beat up without hesitation.

Shouldn't be up for debate, it's racism plain and simple. Just because the R is missing, doesn't make it less racist or insulting. Call a person of color either one and you'll see there is NO difference. Zph loves that word like nothing else, and I guarantee you he would never say it to any person of color's face. Racism has no place in video games or the world, it's 2020. Grow the hell up.

 

 

EDIT: If we can mute people over the word "retard" then "nigga" shouldn't be up for discussion. Clearly.

 

SAY IT LOUDER WOOX

 

Yes many times, You even made a new account today starting with 'Nigga'

Let ur mod friends altslog it nerd.

Better keep ur proof ready with these false accusations.

New players joining and seeing Racism spouted will just run them off. Pathetic is allowed.

I agree that this shit shouldn't be allowed, you can't use gay slurs already and for good reason so why not extend the same courtesy against those that are racist. I really shouldn't have to keep adding people to my ignore list everytime they make a new account to be racist on.

SUPPORT, ridiculous derogatory terms still allowed in the game 

+1, it's filthy that people are allowed to say/have in their usernames. 

This should be up for community vote! 100% support.
