I don't think racism is as big of a deal that you're making it. It doesn't seem like it's something that should be focused on, however; I have worked with you several times before and you're a good GP. You have the experience in a GP aspect to be a good playerworld administrator. I do support Aimee for PWA.

It really is Tig. I remember GPing every single day, and always having many players come off with racial comments and slurs. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. It's something that I would really like to work on though, trying to at least decrease the amount of racism going on.

I really enjoyed working with you Tig, you were an inspiration to me if I must say, and thanks for the support!

Actually, racism and extreme foul language is really bad on certain servers (or was). It really depends on the staff. Some care, and some dont. It is a big deal in the areas where it is ignored by staff on the server. I'm not going to play on a server where I have to see that garbage. Just saying...

I agree, rules should certainly be enforced. Racism and foul language is a big deal, but not so much on a global-scale (they are just words, after all). It should be more left up to the local staff members to enforce such rules. If they're not enforced, then perhaps the playerworld administration should notify that playerworld that they need to start enforcing more rules.

They may just be words to you, but words cut like a knife to some people. They should not have to be subjected to it on a game they pay to play, especially. I have seen horrible racism being ignored more than once by staff, and horrible language as well. I can see excusing minor cursing, but what I have seen ignored is way beyond minor, and if people are punished, it is laughable. The punishments should be severe for people who repeat this kind of behavior.

I think, in general, it may not be a serious problem, but I do believe that in cases where you have playerworlds that have a big problem with this, the pwa should step in and let the staff, and players know that this behavior wont be tolerated.

I totally agree with what Darlene is saying, i've seen the exact same and it's just unacceptable. However, you all do have a point in some way shape or form.

Anyway, it's nice to hear other peoples views and opinions.
