Hi m8s,
Just a point I would like to share with you about disturbing players' nicknames in game.
Fisrt of all, I have to say it does'nt really disturb me, I just think they are real idiots when they come on our servers with nicknames as Hitler, Himmler, NSDAP, Nazi, Staline, etc. But I know, and understand, that it could really disturb some players coming on our servers.
I asked slimmy if we had rules about that as, in the past, most of clans asked people with such nicknames to change them or be kicked.
To my mind, these idiots simply didn't study WW2 history (i'm a history passionnate) and just want to get a frightening nickname, it's a WW2 game. But, when you know what Hitler, Himmler, Nazi generally speaking, and Staline made, they killed millions of people, how could you go in a game, to get fun, and choose such nicknames? Maybe we have some players coming on our server whose grandparents were killed during WW2, maybe some jew, and if I was one of them, I woudln't appreciate to play on a server with someone called Hitler.
I don't know how it is abroad, but in France, there are laws against that, you can't promote such things in public apart if the context is history goal, debating, and so on, and obviously, playing mohaa, it's not. It s called "apologie de crimes contre l'humanité".
So, I follow the rules of the clan, it's not my call, but I wanted to present my view to all of you guys, thinking about people coming on our servers who maybe care about that.
Yep we also have this a lot on FFA, we let the kids play. To my understanding not all players are familiar with detailed history of Europe, especially egyptians etc. So the kids have heard some big name which is supposed to be about great power and use it as nick to attract attention, its no big deal.
Quite another matter when people begin to discuss sensitive topics and start some bs like all muslims are bad or how good was hitler. But its quite rare. To my eyes servers where they ban all the weird names to the point where you get kicked after you said a word like noob is ridiculous. I think serious players wouldnt come back again to such server.
btw if admin is so hurt about nick, i think is quite easy to change names
I agree with u
I hate when people do that, see it alot in my EU4 games, (where a big part of the playerbase is passionate about history). I figure if someone uses 'Sieg Heil' as a username it's probably some immature kid trying to be funny.
I think kicking em because of it is ' a bridge too far', as long as they are not toxic/cheating that is..
If a person like this wants to join the clan, in that case i would recommend asking him to change the name.
(Oh, and just for info: we have those laws as well)
Lo Girls,
what he said. but i do mind.
there is this tool where you can change his name automaticly, you also can use your rcon tool.
Bart 4 president , slam slim
Yours only "twat"
Yes, I agree Slimmy.
PS : Yy, SS for Asgard could stand for Sexy Slim, thats still a none-ense, but I like it
yeah true, i seen people leave the server for a name liek hitler, but i dont want those crybabys in the server, if they allready cry for such an little thing they should play the sims
Slimmy, it's not a big problem for me as I wrote, I just think they are idiots, but I think about the other players and already read people complaining about some Nazi nicknames, that's all I meant. Seriously, I'm far away from looking for a reason to take action as an admin (that s why I asked u if u had tules about that and didn't do anything when u told me to let it down), gaming is really funnier when you could only play and don't take care about the rest
You could play a WW2 game (like we played with toy soldiers when we were kids) with all that it means, during a war people die, that s how it is, but being schoked (not my case, as I said, no energy to loose for that, I just think they are idiots) when u see players choosing Hilter as nickname. If you go at a WW2 commemorative battle event, you'll see people with both allies and axis uniform, with veterans from both sides, that's great, but you won't see someone dressed like Hitler, for sure.
It's different with Asgard Yywiyy, yes he picked SS in his nick, yes he maybe chose a SS skin with swastikas on, but it s a WW2 game, I don't mind that, that's history, Asgard was not a well known murderer who killed thousands of people in real life, that's how it is different. lol, about Stalin, we will maybe never agree Yw, I fully respect your view, I just remind the goulags, ukranian people, polish people, etc, but that's not the point here.
For instance if a player picks the name of the terrorist who killed a lot of people in Nice (France, last summer) in a war game with civilians or a game like GTA, I would understand people being shocked.
An other example, if a player come with a nickname like islamprophetlikespigs (no offense guys, just an example), I don't mind myself, I'm not muslim, but I could understand some muslims guys would be offensed.
For me it's the same as Hitler or similar nicks.
One more time, that's not a problem for me as I don't mind about these people I think are simply uneducated or who want to shock, so no controversy, I follow the rules with not even a single tiny problem for me, I just think some other players coming on our servers
Totally agree with Slim-sama on that one. Its a ww2 game, we are shooting allies with SG in it.)
And if we go that way, BaRT-san, as a Russian player, I would exclude Stalin from the list.)) We can have a long debate about it, but I dont think we would come to a compromise about his and Russian role in the ww2 and post war years.))
My grandpa was killed during the Leningrad offensive in August 1941 by one of the SS Totenkopf division shooters, but I play daily with someone named SS"Asgard" and dont make a fuss about it. He is a nice guy and a good player to boot.
So lets not do that and enjoy the game with LuV.)
but to strict the rules and keep moaning on everything u see will cause so many discussions as well and problems and moaning etc, just play like we did the last few years..... its going great.... dont make more rules so its easier to break rules, we should be an open relaxed clan.
I think that we have no rules about the nicknames or what the people shouldn't talk on the server. i would prefer to avoid using names that cause problems and arguments. i remember someone came with the name about migrants to europe and the server converted to a debate and was a reason that anna didnt record the game. and also talking in politics, religions and all controversial matters is not the proper place to discuss them. we actually want to escape from the reality enjoy the game and forget all these problems. i dont say we have to force people in what they should talk about or they don't have a freedom of speech but all i want to say that the server is not the proper place and in most cases this will end by insulting each other :d we are a world clan have members and people form all over the world so i think we should set some rules about that
