it could have been a misunderstanding, I rethought requesting a ban for the user who I won't name for now.

Servers / Official NA; disparity in moderating racial and ethnic mocking
« on: September 10, 2014, 07:40:39 am »
For a long while I have noticed a theme on the Official NA battle server.
Naturally, players who mock and/or make slurs against races and ethnicity are dealt with whenever possible, which is good. However, the theme I have noticed is that casual antisemitism is ignored by the admin staff. For example, I will regularly see players with names such as "Rabbi Shekel Moneystein" just for one example and talk in chat in very blatant stereotypes.
Now, If I (and I wouldn't because this is not how I am, but for counterpoint) were to make a name such as "Negro Blackguy" and talk like blatant and derogatory stereotypes of black folk, I would be kicked and forced to change my name, and depending on severity of the things I say would be banned.
It's good the admin staff moderates against such things, but why is casual but obvious antisemitism allowed to persist? It goes on while admins are actively on the server. And it has for as long as I have been coming on the Official NA servers, which has been off and on for 2 or 3 years now or however long ago NW was released.
Anyone agree?
Note to trolls: please don't hijack this thread for anti-Jew rants. That's beyond low class...

Official Servers Bans & Unbans / ban clarification, NA Official 1
« on: September 10, 2014, 12:15:37 am »
Same name ingame as here.
Kicked a rocketeer after he set up in a house with his team and fired into wall. Rocketeer kicked back. I melee stabbed him and killed him. Immediately kicked, sever says banned.
I'm not requesting an unban, because that would be disingenuous. I am asking however how long is the ban (also I'm a little surprised I got banned and not just kicked, but then I don't make the rules).
If in the chance it's a long ban, like more than a few days, THEN I would request an unban.
Bannig admin I am sure was Slick_Dick_Rick, he was actively adminning at the time.
Again just looking for clarification on time. Not contesting anything or giving BS.
Thanks in advance.

Off Topic / Ignorance of the good ol' USA?
« on: January 27, 2014, 07:26:18 pm »Hello folks.
First, I want to point out this article is old. It talks about "Today, 6 years after 9/11."
Also, I'd like to point out that speaking as an American, even I can see where some of this is a little weaselly worded and stretched.
Moreover, the article says "Europeans" but mostly harps on the British.
Finally, the article appears to have a homogeneous US political slant to it, so off the bat it's not going to be 100% neutral.
Now with all that out of the way; what is the good community's thoughts on this? Note I don't have any vested interest, I just thought it would make for interesting conversation.
(Also I think it's too small and shallow to make any real points but that's just me)

Suggestions & Bug Reports / A small, pedantic issue with pipers
« on: January 26, 2014, 11:26:01 am »
I love the pipers and I think the variety of pipe music is wonderful, however, I would just like to point out that I have serious, serious doubts that the British Army would allow "Skye Boat Song," as this song was a Jacobite tune. Though I am personally a fan of the song itself, to hear it being played for proper British troops on the battlefield is rather silly in my humble opinion.

Official Servers Bans & Unbans / Unban request, NW_Official_NA, by Thunderstormer
« on: January 24, 2014, 08:17:57 am »
Name under which you were banned- Betty (yes, this is exactly why)
Server(s) you are banned from Nw_Official_NA_1
What was happening when you got banned- Explains itself. I logged in with name as "Betty" rather than one of my legitimate names.
Time and date: roughly 2:00AM Eastern, 24 January
Timezone- EST
Really, I have no excuse for this one. I quite wrongly thought it would be good for a laugh, as recently people have been talking about "Betty's" death. I was banned instantly without having been warned to change my name, which considering the name makes sense. I have my hat in my hand with this, so to speak. Humbly request an unban. Clearly, a giggle for seeing "Betty" is not worth it. I believe it was TStormer who enacted the ban.
I can't seem to locate my player id.
The most common name I play under, especially in official NA, is some form of "Gordon Ramsay," lately "1BnYLR_Sgt_Ramsay"
EDIT: I tried the server file trick mentioned on the forum to show my player id, but it won't run because it says Steam is missing a file (which either it isn't missing, or it doesn't need, since my Steam has been working just fine and MB:WB runs fine)
