Server Rules Update

[Reedgreat]

Then you should make the vote required for racism lower. A lot of the times, people were aware of the racism rule, and would vote no simply because they thought the racism was funny.

Question. If there is someone obviously trying to be racist and fully believes it and we have that recorded can we still report that. I know we can votemenu but just asking both for me and everyone else.

Shit, utter, uncensored shit.

 

[shoooooooooooooooo]

oh wow

Question. If there is someone obviously trying to be racist and fully believes it

you can start a vote to silence them

can we still report that.

no, there are no rules against racism anymore so you can't report something that isn't against the rules

"Can we still report people for not breaking rules"

This guy was considered for admin

You have to understand how confusing this change will be though.
...it is not against the rules to say the n-word (per this thread).
...it is against the rules to use the votemenu on someone not breaking the rules (votemenu abuse).
...yet, this thread says to use the votemenu to silence people for being racist.

It's redefining what the votemenu is used for to people on the servers:
"We can use the votemenu for anything, even if it has never been a rule"
Even if this is not true, people will believe that this is how they can use it.

Our rules do not state that you cannot call a vote on someone who isn't breaking the rules.

If something is no longer against the rules, you therefore can not file a report against someone for performing that action. You can still call a vote, but you can not report it because it is not a violation of the rules.

How is that confusing

Our rules do not state that you cannot call a vote on someone who isn't breaking the rules.

Spamming. Examples:

• Calling random votes, even on yourself.

If someone isn't breaking the rules, then the vote would be random.

Racist remarks can be denoted as spam that can be judged by the server, but not outright enforced by admins

In Bottigers post he never says that they have to be spamming for you to call a votemenu on someone.
It simply states that if you think they're being racist you can use the votemenu to silence them...

 

[Mr. Socko]

This is something similar to playing music on the mic, it's not against the rules but people can call a vote for mute.

 

[courtsnort♩♪♫♬]

Yes. Meaning it can be judged by the server, but will not be enforced by admins. I don't get what's difficult about that

 

[T-Wayne]

But did nobody think of the children?

 

[courtsnort♩♪♫♬]

No

 

[Tyknighter]

Something is telling me this will not go well.

 

[Percilius]

This is a bad idea

 

[Blade D_Hero]

This is a bad idea

You should probably go tell Valve that before they die out due to racism in their servers.

Oh wait.

 

[courtsnort♩♪♫♬]

Huge difference between Valve servers that will always be there, and community servers
