I've just read commander's character description.

My knowledge of German language is basic but I think somebody should translate that because I think I saw an insult. He referred to a player as -disabled person- (Derryk – ein Behinderter)and by all means i think that is not complimentary by the rule:
1.10. The player is not allowed to place any obscenities, filthy photos, drug ads, pornography or insults on other players in their character information page, including photo album. Pornography means uploading images of sexual intercourse and/or primary sexual characters displayed in obvious or easy-to-guess manner. An official clan member's request to remove an image is compulsory and not subject to discussion.
1.10.1. Abbreviations used to insult a player are considered foul language and their usage will be punished. In cases where a two-ways understanding can occur, like masking the foul words with asterisks, the punishment discretion lies on the Administration or Moderators. A request by any member of an official clan to remove such expressions from your in-game communication is compulsory and not subject to discussion.
Insulting people in other languages than English is same as using abbreviations to mask foul language. It also needs to be taken in consideration what is insulting in what culture. To me the insult used by commander is synonymous to the term 'retarded'. But maybe something that's not insulting in my culture can very likely be most inappropriate and even insulting to other people from different cultural backgrounds. | For the sake of discussion I quote and translate the German parts of the aforementioned profile:
"weil der Spieler zu faul ist."
because the player is too lazy.
"Ich bin Jaeger, sehr guter Jaeger
Jage nicht, was Du nicht toeten kannst"
I’m a hunter, a very good hunter
Don’t hunt what you can’t kill
"Das ist sehr interessant:"

"Spieler im Clan #119 New Elite:"

"Sehr guter Beispiel, wie dumm man sein kann"

"ein kleines Kind und grosser Dieb."

"ein Behinderter, oder ist da Familienbetrieb? Weil normaler Mensch nicht 15-16 Std. taeglich ins Spiel investieren kann (6 Monate lang)..."
a retard, or family business? because no normal human plays 15 – 16 hours every day (over 6 month)
"Sind schon blockiert:"
are already blocked
"Werden noch blockiert:"

"was kannst du dazu sagen?
Und das soll beste Clan sein? Das ist ein Witz und nicht der Clan"
What can you say about this?
This is supposed to be the best clan? That’s no clan that’s a joke. | | closed by Lexa (2008-11-27 00:13:44) |
