Remix Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I while ago i noticed somebody make fun of the Jewish religion in an HG server. I believe there was an admin in the server and didn't do anything about it. HG is no racism but anti-semitics are ok? I'm not a religous freak but im jewish and I like to defend it. So does HG frown upon Jews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazenger Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 So does HG frown upon Jews? You've got to be kidding me. Yep, you've joined an anti-Semitic clan and just realized it now. If the admin didn't do anything it's your responsibility to make a ban request. Anti-Semitism is a putdown and of course it is not tolerated...

I Love Lamp Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It depends on the degree. If someone is slinging around some serious hate speech, then they will be dealt with. But if someone remarks that someone or something is "jewish", well, we'd have to ban half our population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuIcY Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Im saying people wouldnt take something like the K word against jews like the N word Im going to side with remix on this one just because an individuals religion should be respected at the same level if not more than someones race. Idk but I THINK this is going to be a thread with no final answer, its up to discretion and popular vote on the situation you witnessed it in.

NOMNOM Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 To me, I feel that being called a "Jew" or being "Jewish" is just too popular of a slang term to be punishable. It's pretty much at the same level as calling someone gay or a fag. It's just become too embedded into pop culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Lamp Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 We typically leave it up to the discretion of our admins. However, if you as a player feel someones' language is going too far, report it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remix Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Saying the K word though is too far, are you going to tolerate that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuIcY Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Saying the K word though is too far, are you going to tolerate that? Think about perspective and situation. most of the HG clan members are American; saying the N word is more familiair to us then the slang K word for jewish people. Again its up to discretion but HG does not advocate racial or religious slurs in our clan. According to psychology and sociology though, a group of people would be more harassed for something very familiar to them, than something that is not.

I Love Lamp Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Let's try this again: If you as a player feel someones' language is going too far, report it. We don't "tolerate" any type of hate speech. However, not everyone sees every word as strong as others do. "Kike" isn't nearly as "mainstream" as the N-bomb, so it's not something we come against often. But, for a third time, just in case you forgot, if you that word makes you uncomfortable, ask that person to stop. If they continue to use it, ask an admin to intervene, or report it on the site. Asking us if we tolerate something one person does is like the Prime Minister of England asking if Barack Obama hates black people because Judy Clemens of Norfolk, Virigina dropped an N-bomb while singing along to the Wu Tang Clan. He can't be expected to keep track of everything every person says and does, and neither can we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuIcY Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Barack Obama; He can't be expected to keep track of everything every person says and does, and neither can we.

Koth Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 most of the time if you ask a person, or tell them it is against the rules to say something they stop, and normally apologize. So if you are offended by someone ask them to stop if they dont ban them. USE YOUR BRAIN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never trust a hippie Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) As a devout denouncer of all religions ( I dont wanna be labeled anything please) I'd say stop trying to play your religion card. But thanks for informing us all of your religious belief's :lame: I dont agree with you being offended over things people say on the internet about your religion. The INTERNET (Where what im told only nice things are said). Everybody knows that im highly intolerant of racism/bigotry and i feel like thats good enough. Your beliefs are yours and i dont think this is the place to express them or even ask a question pertaining to one. Do exactly as lamp said if you feel insulted or abused. You should have known that already and im disgusted you made this thread asking if we're anti-semitic actually. I need separation of church and HG sorry if i offended anybody.

D3nL Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 This seems like another one of those "admins must enforce rules" things. Admins do not have to do anything. Admins pay to get admin, not the other way around. Is it encouraged to keep the server fun and clean? Yes. It is not required though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
