Declined Wordfilter the "n" word

[Smokey]

Okay, I'm pretty sure this is the second or third suggestion thread, but still. There's absolutely no good reason not to have this in place. Even adding a warning in-chat which shows to the user typing it would cut bans significantly. Something like "Use of racial slurs result in bans" or something like that, since these guys getting reported usually have no idea that it's a bannable offence. Regarding people saying "you can just replace an i with 1 or e with 3" how about filtering that TOO? I'm gonna back Ruelel's suggestion of "silly willy" but open to suggestions.

I guess that technically, we should have the rules in the MOTD or some crap like that so people know that we have a zero tolerance policy for racism

I agree with the rules in MOTD. 100%. When I ran my FC2 servers the rules posted in chat every 5 minutes. That way they couldnt claim "I didnt know' when they were kicked or banned.

This argument has been made 34892374890234 times before, searching through HLStats chatlogs and mass banning people is really sketchy and will fuck over Skial's rep at the very least.

Oh and the hundreds of people saying it and getting away with it won't fuck over the rep? Just... no.

Negus, because

See this? Tell me how many racism reports there are. Now, tell me how many racism bans there are. Exactly.

Why exactly does it take a report to ban people. Why dont the admins just start banning people from reading the chat logs? I see pages of pages of other racial slurs also like honkey etc..

A chat filter doesnt sound to bad & if people go around them they get banned. I know a lot of people say racist slurs but arent actually being racist towards some one.

+1

I'm just going to decline this because it's the same stupid arguments again.
