Prejudice

The title says it all why isnt this in the graal policy

I found this out by getting in to a argument with someone and asking a friend appearntly he can be totally prejudice against jew's and ***'s as long as he wants What do you all think of this should it be added in policy or should people be allowed to express there beliefs ?

I want to here what you think of this please refrain from flaming or using unnecessary remarks

Also:

Chat and Forum
Discussion through onscreen chat, GraalOnline chat, and discussion forums is a part of the game. GraalOnline must not be used, however, to promote competing products or services. Individuals who actively promote other competing products or services within GraalOnline, may be locked out.

Another abuse of chat and forum privileges is when players use abusive language (cursing or threatening language), racial attacks or comments, or sexually explicit comments, either general or specific, when communicating to individual players, in the content of mass messages via the GraalOnline chat system, or via the discussion boards.

The GraalOnline Communications Forum (Message Boards) is used to discuss GraalOnline related content, gameplay, ideas, experiences. Constructive complaints and other healthy criticism that points out ways the game can be improved are welcome. Flame wars, personal attacks on players, and any unfounded criticisms will be removed. Abuses such as these will lead to players being banned from the Communications Forum. GraalOnline staff may lock out such abusive players.

Players may not promote anything sexually explicit, implications of racism, or vulgar online. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing URLs with others to websites that contain profanity, nudity, or anything else that violates the GraalOnline Rules of Conduct.

Players promoting content that is subversive to gameplay, promotes cheating, or any other hacking activities risk immediate ban. GraalOnline will have no tolerance for such activities.

Would vote if this was a private poll.

In any case, not exactly sure what you're asking. Racism clearly isn't allowed. Prejudice is prejudice. It's life. It's still unclear to me what you want stopped. Prejudice on the forums? Staff member prejudice? Players being racist etc?

Also, why is this posted in the Zone forum?

You have a good point, and I would tend to agree with you, but nothing will happen. Sorry to tell you

Also, I did vote to make it in the policy, but still; nothing would change if it was added.

I'm not sure why you're polling, asking this to be added when its already there unless you don't see prejudice and racism as the same thing. If thats whats happening on Zone or anyplace else its still against the Rules of Conduct.

I just read through the code of conducts and sry to tell you but its not being racist ...

Jew is not a race
*** is not a race
Its being prejudice

Another abuse of chat and forum privileges is when players use abusive language (cursing or threatening language), racial attacks or comments, or sexually explicit comments, either general or specific, when communicating to individual players, in the content of mass messages via the GraalOnline chat system, or via the discussion boards.


Nothing in there that states being prejudice sry but they need to add it read it carefully X.x I got opinions from other people to just to check so yeh sry code of conduct has its flaws

If you get rid of the swearing and the sexual comments there won't be anything fun to do on Zone.

If you mean the thing about Christmas, get over it.

I'm an atheist. It's just rude to do what you did. If someone says merry christmas to me, I will say Merry Christmas to them. It's just being polite.

What are you talking about
Yeah I'd do the same thing, Christmas, Quanza, w.e, but never say "I hate ____s" unless the "_____s" is a person.

Racial attacks goes under it, you're saying?

Exclamation

I will say this now, We are NOT supposed to perform any racist actions or prejudice. If you see anyone, you report it. I don't care if this is a little late or not, I am just saying this to have it clear. This goes for ANY server. Yes even you Zodiac.

"A Definition of Racism
The American Heritage Dictionary defines racism as follows:

1)Discrimination or prejudice based on race
2)The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others"




Without prejudice there is no racism. I wish people would know that. And as for that problem on zone. It won't be stopped. If they aren't willing. We staff can do as much as possible to stop it but it won't go away.

Assuming that this incident has spurted from Zone, if it's such a big problem I don't know why Zone hasn't hired some player moderating staff (Police) aside from the development staff. There is no point in adding two work loads on one staff team, unless they're somewhat related in nature. Personally I don't feel as though the pre-teen staff on this server can judge these kind of situations fairly and rubbing their "power" in people's faces.

Aside from that, it clearly states:

No I don't
And I'm the only one of those...
And actually I do judge them fairly, but having someone tell them that they shouldn't be hating on other religions I feel that they should have been locked...

You're the only one because you're like Contiga's pet or something. You're just a kid, and you have a somewhat condescending attitude about you which is pretty disgraceful and I'd rather not be told what and what not to do by someone like yourself. That's just personal preference though.

I never told you to do anything.
By the way, that would be Dante, not me.
