A complaint to Nick.
Forums › General Discussion › A complaint to Nick.-
Please note peeps this is not from me. A player who shall remain unnamed sent me this, assumably after sending it to Nick. Basically, this player had turf named which could be classed as homophobic. Nick rightly intervened by changing the questioned turf names and warning the player. I don't think Nick is wrong. I think the player conuses homophobia with decency.

As a developer you should know better. You have intervened in the basic premise of the game. You changed the names of my turfs without contacting me? I was very carefull not to go beyond the basic laws of decency when writing turf names mocking Vadan, I could've named them as vadan arse fucks kids or something. But I used a level of judgement that reflected annoyance without being crude. Your intervention has by default made a fool of your own game. Perhaps you should re name the game 'happy famillies'. I will wait 24 hours before I hope you have some common sense thinking that I am missing to justify an action that sits completly outside of amy turf wars t&c's that I've read.
I guess my real annoyance is that you have intervened in the online dynamic of how on line communities work. If you foster and encouage an on line community to flurish you can't work outside of the rules you put in place. If you do, you make a mockery of the service you provide to your community.
Great game, poor management.

I think Nick is in the right. Freedom of speech, blah, blah, but when it goes over into offensive and hurtful, then a line has been crossed.

Exacty bella, n why should other players, game or not, have to put up with the ignorance of discrimination, racism, homophobia, sexism etc. Nick is within his T&C to intervene. There's no space for this in any community, not even gaming.

Freedom of speech is irrelevant. To coin a phrase, it's nick' s beach and nick's waves. Don't like it, join Kelder at CW.

Copy Bella,
Just because you can say it doesn't mean you SHOULD say it. I firmly believe in our right to free speech and will be the first to stand up and defend it, but not for those that abuse it. -
I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for Nick...There is a thin line between funny or outrageous and just simply degrading or offensive. This line was obviously crossed - Well done Nick 💔

I agree with nick's decision. I have no idea why this thread was posted though. If only his turf names were changed, then he wasn't reset & could have posted it himself. If the player chose to reset than he should have had the guts to post that before resetting, if he felt that strongly that it needed posting.

He did already post this. It's called I've reset & this is why. His name is search. He also posted it in soulstealer's goodbye thread. Talk about overkill!

He posted the message to me after sending it to Nick. I just wanted to make it open for everyone to read and get opinions. This guy is not the first and certainly not the last, if anything, it might work as a deterant for players who otherwise feel it's morally ok to behave like this. Let the consequence be known.
