ArmadylArcher Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I was muted and given 2 black marks for this...I can't post the actual transcript of the screen shot but I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. "Racism against americans" wtf??? Someone made a comment about the state of intelligence services and the department of defense in the USA and I replied "America has intelligence now? ;)" Try to log in a couple of days later and I've been muted for three days for that! I look at the evidence and I'm thinking "Wtf?" ...write my appeal saying I didn't agree with this at all, that I think muting me for this is crap and anyone with half a brain can see it was just a joke. I get a reply back saying I was being RACIST to americans. I am Canadian! It's our birthright to make fun of our neighbours! Heck, americans are pretty much Canadians anyway and I've travelled all over north america and europe... Felt like blowing some steam...also. I was at clan wars today and I saw a guy killing a pmod who's char was dark skinned and he says a wrongly spelled (but intent implied) N word and for him to die ...pmod just says "lol" and the guy keeps coming back. I reported that, just because I thought the whole display was wrong. But I mean come on..."Racism against americans" I hear a lot about WBM and trigger happy reporters but I think a big thing rune has going is its community. If you lose your ability to speak freely amongst your friends; its just a free MMORPG with blocky graphics running on a java platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erichermit Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That's a ridiculous mute. I don't think even any Americans will think you should be muted for that. I know I don't and I'm from the SOUTH.

Then again, given the number of people posting here who don't even understand why they were banned (see the thread a couple of days ago), it's pretty likely he misinterpreted the evidence.

Kiriyama Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Jagex mutes for alot of stupid reasons. Whats worse is the amount of blacm marks they used to give, I had around 7 at one point for 3 offences, and one was for a completely moronic reason that anyone could see as a joke who was there at the time (except the [bleep]er who reported me.)

I'm sure if we did have evidence we would be able to find out just weather he was in the wrong or not. Until then, this is spam. Guilty until proven innocent eh? When all those in recent memory have been proven guilty, statistically speaking he's lying or simply not understanding. Jagex mutes for alot of stupid reasons.

All they see is the evidence in the chatbox. I don't ever recall an unfair mute being posted despite dozens, if not hundreds labeled "unfair" have been posted. Given that CR's over half the company, it's pretty dang impressive.

fenrir321 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Rofl, am I the only person from the U.S. that finds this hilarious? edit: *reads the other posts* :wall: good, I'm not. Yes, our intelligence was recalled to life after the inauguration; though it's taken a dip recently. I've got a question: If any of us were to say something similar to this to a very close friend, "hating" on their country, would we get into a humongous argument and cease to become friends or would we find the semi-truth semi-negative exaggeration in the joke and laugh it off? The answer basically reveals how sensitive a people we are: we don't care much about other countries' faults; we poke fun at them all the time. When we have fault found in ourselves, we explode and start flinging "You racist [cabbage]!" which only solidifies the "hating" into reality. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You gave the context, I don't think Jagex saw it, so that may be why. I can understand why you'd get an offense for it, at least. That said, I'm an American, that's the kind of thing I would say :lol: . I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaaps1 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It's true. I live in America and this place really isn't that intelligent. I mean, with enough money you can buy just about everything and no one really stops you unless you're stupid enough to make it obvious. I've heard stuff about people buying TANKS (like military TANKS) in my state. Why on earth would you sell someone a TANK?!? Still, the mute was too harsh. Is it possible to be racist against Americans? I thought the race the United States was considered is Caucasian? Isn't it the same as Canada? Being racist against yourself obviously isn't be racist. It's like blacks joking around and calling each other N... ~It's Super Effective!
