2.1 and the frustration

[Klaus]

No need to wait, 2.1 will be up and running pretty soon. We just need to get everything set on CP.

Apparently you and others have not learned from statements by the Server Owners that flaming people with that term is not allowed. It doesn't matter if they are attacking the community or not. Don't flame people.

Someone needs to learn the definition of gypsy

And what is offensive here?

If you wish to argue about it's usage, you can take it up with the Server Owners who have made several posts about it already.

And you're defending a person who keeps attacking Argonath, i'd like to see what Server Owners would have to say about that.

I would like to see the post where it is stated that the word "gypsy" is forbidden to be used.
Anyway stay on topic.

See this:

However understand that anyone...on Argonath should not be caught in any kind of malicious attacking behaviour regardless of what game, server or site it concerns.

Let me show you:

...already warned by owners in the past about any anti-country/nation/race flame on server...

8.   Argonath recognizes that a part of the community is underage. There for the following shall be prohibited:
d.   Cyberharrasment, stalking and bullying of players based on their belief, views, race or choices in life.
9.   Argonath bases its community on respect and friendship between players of all nations.  This means that those who feel that they are allowed to disrespect others, consider others as inferior or treat them as such will be offered the choice to either change their views or leave the community. This includes any groups of players in game.
10.   Argonath will remain as open, friendly and strong community for people worldwide who wish to enjoy playing a game based on imagination and creativity.

No flaming (insulting/swearing) towards other players (personal attack).
Attempts to avoid or ignore administration punishment aren't allowed in any way.

http://wiki.argonathrpg.eu/index.php/Argonath_Rules

Avoid usage of inappropriate language, and especially those that may be directed at other players or groups.
- Please do not flame or intentionally use unsuitable language in the public chat as it can cause offence. In roleplay situations, avoid excessively swearing or flaming other players.

Rules may not be stretched or broken in the name of "roleplay", and must be upheld at all times.
http://wiki.argonathrpg.eu/index.php/VC:MP_Server_Rules

On Forums are not allowed:

1. Flame (personal attack/insult the players)...

http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=46362.0

Now, as for what makes it obvious that it is flaming:

Gipsies of Romany origins have been a recognised ethnic group for the purposes of Race Relations Act 1976 since Commission for Racial Equality v Dutton 1989 and Irish Travellers in England and Wales since O'Leary v Allied Domecq 2000 (having already gained recognition in Northern Ireland in 1997). However, many Romani people find the term "Gypsy" offensive, and as a professor of Romani descent reports, even using the lowercase term is a process of erasure and normalization of hurtful term.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Romani_people#Gypsy_and_Gipsy -> Use in English law

Now if that doesn't explain it's derogatory usage of the term well enough for you to understand then please, by all means, take up your argument with the Server Owners, because I am seriously sick of that stupid word being thrown around to insult people.

We don't need another one of these discussions, so both of you, please do and stop it. This topic is about 2.1 scripts. Thank you.

[Salmonella]

I second that, there's no need to quote all that stuff in every VC:MP related topic.

Looking forward to playing in 2.1, although I should still find a way to fix my packetloss problem.

malicious attacking behaviour regardless of what game, server or site it concerns.

And you take that as a malicious attack?

[SugarD]

And you take that as a malicious attack?

If you are making malicious comments about users, yes, that is a malicious attack on them. Get back on topic please.

no shit its prolly attacked more often than SA:MP, imagine if theres less than 3 rpg's on the client and most of the banned dm'ers and all use a simple program for wannabe ddos attack which crashes our server after less than 20 packets sent...

[Matt Murdock]

Not provoking.  :redface:

I was just pointing to how you are saying its not done, even though developers are saying it is. and I meant that in a friendly way.  :roll:

Anyway, everything is down for now.

Haters, haters, everywhere.   :hit:

Many topics (or ways of referring to something) that may be funny in smaller social circles and amongst friends who share common interests are not going to be seen the same way universally. Because "me and my friends say it's okay" doesn't mean the world says it is. Interpretations vary so, so much... often not due to any fault by an individual... best rule of thumb is to just avoid those things and keep it strictly within close friendship groups, if that. : )
