We don't have any power there since it's McNeil's server and channels afaik.
Imho it's not our problem.
I didnt think anyone would get banned usually unless it was in public UTA irc channels, league server/match or involved an admin.
Surely this case would be down to Mc and however he wants to deal with it as it was his server.
This thread is not aimed to cause a flamewar but to discuss what I consider an important matter in a mature way. Please don't post if you came here to insult. All I want is a reasoned answer as racism is an issue that concerns me specially. So please clarify the following point to me.
According to the quote above, if an admin gets racist remarks in a public UT server or any other resource even outside UTA's jurisdiction, action can be taken. But if it was a common member then there is nothing they can do because "It's not their problem" ?
This is how the community deals with racism?
How unfortunate words, whoever they come from. Just as unfortunate as it was quoting them in a public forum.
Looking at certain comments made it's painfully obvious that the reputation of the persons involved in this argument is playing a big role in the admins decision, which is, again, very unfortunate.
Maybe, only maybe, I got it wrong. I wish this was the case and you could come to me with a logical explanation as to why admins are protected anywhere from such a serious threat for our society like any racism germ represents, however the rest of the community members are not, even if it happened in a well known meeting place with many witnesses. The lack of "powers" is clearly an excuse made up to justify a decision based in individual reputation.
Please explain to me how having admin rights on a server affects your ability to read what is being said.
Thanks.
