@ranger_12 does have a point. But you know as I know that it's hard to deal with things like (c)overt racism. I too see some shit that I sometimes feel justifies a kick or even a ban. I.e. https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/5.9.23.136:16567/top_players/?query=hitler Or more 'subtle' references like using several numbers or letters. https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols There are plenty of 'randoms' or noobs with for example 18 (Adolf Hitler) or 88 (Heil Hitler) references in their nicknames. But we can't ban them for that. Maybe they were born in 1988 or their birthday is on the 18th or they just picked a random number. We can't just assume. Right?
Binary mentioned some people yell 'let's kill the jews' or 'let's kill the muslims' etc. You, I and all other admins would like nothing more than to use our !k or !b privileges to get rid of these idiots any time we see or hear it because we're not killing Jews, Russians or Muslims, we're killing bots and / or more specific the enemy and we do it together. All of us. Some of us are Jews, others are Christian or Muslim or Atheist and we're all of different ethnic backgrounds from all around the world.
But - and I think this is what @zero_tolerance_s was referencing to - we do engage in friendly banter, I make fun of the Brits all the time and they of me. That's also the spirit of this server. We're a band of brothers regardless of our individual backgrounds or beliefs. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't feel it's racist or discrimination when we point out someone isn't / couldn't be drunk because he is a Muslim and doesn't drink and make a few jokes about it. Especially if it is a valued and well-known member of our community such as @ranger_12. I for one respect anyone's personal beliefs and life choices especially if it doesn't involve poisoning your liver.
Anyway. @ranger_12 if we did insult you by insisting you couldn't be drunk (and just messed up a few things) because you're a Muslim and you don't drink I apologize for it. You and I go waaaaaaaaaayyyy back and we had some very interesting talks about your heritage and beliefs. I'm not your mom but I do consider you a friend and I do care what you have to say. So sorry if we insulted you.
