racist & offensive nickname

Should players with racist or offensive nicknames play?

I think not...
They should be warned kicked or banned.

I think warning is ok (in case of racist names - that's nothing to be upset IMO).
The only problem are names which offend a specific player or clan.
Why are you asking?

As being a Blackman myself I don't like to see or hear the "N" word..
Sorry but that's just me..

I doubt anyone likes the "n" word. The only time I ever hear it used is between black men. I watched "The wire", and it was used every episode multiple times.

The Dambuster's dog was called "N". When they started remaking the film recently they decided they had to change that.

On the servers I've admin'd since the game came out use of the word will result in an instant ban. The only reason it's not automated is because "snigger" is easily mistypable - and we didn't want to autoban by accident.

I wouldn't, but since you guys find it that offending, go ahead and ban.

But please report back on this forum, so we know the reason when he wants to appeal it and maybe give the player another chance.
