Again if the owners of this site are going to take peoples money they should vet/accept/deny the username before anyone pars with their hard earned cash

Agree. They should have some kind of approval system in place. It could also cut down on multi accounts.

I would say this is one of those instances where a new username will be required/allowed without additional expense to the account holder. Unless they discover that he has been here before.

We already have various policies in place, be they Freemium or Premium, if a name change is required.

losers like this make names just because sheep Bah about it.

A name is only offensive if you let it be. That being said of course its wrong.. but the punk that wants this reaction from you people isnt worth the spit in my mouth as I chew this gummi bear, and he never will be.

I think people need to lighten up....everyone is so easily offended these days. Maybe its inappropriate, but maybe its not. I have a friend whose last name is Nigbur....hell it could be him and out of context the name would be offensive....everything is too PC these days....

I know, right? And does the word "swamp" somehow make this more offensive? Cuz I don't see how "nig" could really be that offensive, honestly. Black people call each other "nigga" all the time, so he could be black for all we know (therefore making it not offensive, am I right?). Just let it be. If it's a multi then deal with that problem.

Vic, we are on the same page except for one thing. I have been called "Nigger" pretty much 1000 times when I was a child when the name callers didint have to worry about pain. I am also from arkansas and lived in mississipi . The term SwAMp nig is not on accident, it is a very specific very intentional term to a poor black man living near the river in arkansas,mississipi, or Liousianna.... I dont think english is your first language.. This is pretty much like calling a jewish person in europe a "Fucking dog" or something alike... its pretty blatent and inflamitory. If you were arabic and I named myself "Sand Nig" , I think you would be pissed. or not.. i dunno.

The kid that did this is just some asshole loser that will have yet another miserable life like many in his station. He is wrong.. but in my opinion.. this thread was more wrong.... only idiots give attention to those that seek it..

anyway

cheers and talk later.

I see... That does seem like pushing the boundaries, then... I guess it's up to the mods now.

[jaimito101]

to some, well the name might be hurtfull, but to him it apparently wasn't and it was accepted by the site. Different people have different norms, he payed his 25$ and has only played 7 games till now. He should get a name change but you couldn't guest him.

I think people need to lighten up....everyone is so easily offended these days. Maybe its inappropriate, but maybe its not. I have a friend whose last name is Nigbur....hell it could be him and out of context the name would be offensive....everything is too PC these days....

Well if he is reffering to himself, should that make it allowable? No, doesn't change anything because we are acting in a community, with its communal rules!

(but in this internet fora, you have to discuss it, to understand/catch & bann it)

[photohippie]

Maybe I just think people are overly sensitive because I'm a 30 year old white guy so there isn't a single thing that can be said to offend me. With that being said, I don't condone ignorance and this is probably one of the more offensive names I've seen. So hopefully they change it, I guess

anything americans find offensive should be removed immediately

In that case, mods please remove all rational and working parts from this site.....

Am intrigued by some of the comments earlier in this thread. Now if the accused is black, and "taking" the word back to "empower" himself, would it be an act of prejudice on the site to make him change his name? Does the site require proof of racial identity to use a word, that some are allowed to, but when others use it is considered offensive?

On a more light hearted note, has owen proved he is really jesus, because I'm sure he is offending a few christians.......... Look for it soon in cheating and abuse, offensive sig, religious baiting.

Wow, although I do not know you much, I like that post

So my question is, is why should someone with a name like "swamp nig" be offensive and not every other small word that can be expanded or shortened to different offensive word not be offensive?

It's like saying to a name like Black Cat, "Oh it's very offensive because it has the word black in it" like wtf? my favourite colour IS black (and sometimes orange ), so now I can't tell anyone my favourite colour if they asked? And what if someone says Niger... (pronounced "Ni-jer" or something like that...) you know, the place in Africa, or Nigeria... So then we wouldn't even be allowed to spell all the countries in the world without someone finding it offensive.. I guess World 2.1 should be taken down since people may find the country names offensive...

*edit*
P.S... You havn't even PLAYED a game with this guy. Are you just looking for people's names to find offensive and report them???

[drunkmonkey]

It's like saying to a name like Black Cat, "Oh it's very offensive because it has the word black in it"

It's almost like that, except not at all. As AoN pointed out, "swamp nig" is a specific derogatory term.

While we're on the subject, dumb American me had to look up what "bogan" means, and found this on wikipedia:

Certain types of clothing are stereotypically associated with bogans, including flannelette shirts, singlets, Stubbies shorts, track pants (tracky dacks), and in recent years ugg boots, thongs, jeans, black leggings and trucker caps.

The image this created has permanently scarred me, and this may be the most offensive name on the site today.

The term SwAMp nig is not on accident, it is a very specific very intentional term to a poor black man living near the river in arkansas,mississipi, or Liousianna.... its pretty blatent and inflamitory.

As AoN has pointed out it is blatant and inflammatory. For some of you to feed bogan crap for this complaint is just plain WRONG.
