And what do you want the moderation team to do?

chill out mostly. It has gotten about 10x better in the past few months. But the reason I say this I’ve done anti-synth stuff as a Lizard this round right? Lo and behold I get ahelped for harassment. And the unnamed staff member rode my ass on it for about 5 minutes.

I don't seem to encounter the problems with moderation that you speak of.

Can you give me a play by play of the encounter?

I don't think this issue is related at all to moderation as they only handle the OOC aspect and implications of in-game problems.

Then I feel like this should be a complaint about that moderator, since this probably is the "straw that broke the camels" back, so to speak. I play a lot of command, and I play a lot of IPCs. There is a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) racism/species-ism/sexism that goes on. Just because you, yourself, aren't hit with it doesn't mean it's not in full force.

Furthermore, "enforcing" racism/species-ism/sexism is a really... questionable slope to peer down. It's wrote in the lore. People are choosing to make characters that defy all odds. There isn't a server rule that says they can't, and the characters certainly aren't "unbelievable." Simply put, you can't force people to RP this kind of stuff. You'll kill the whitelists. There's a few that like it (VT and you being some of them), but if your to be believed that this is a problem, the majority rules in favor that they don't want this sort of RP tainting what could be the only few hours of "break time" they get a day.

It's a game. RP believably, but it's a game.

Keep this discussion on-topic please. Failure to do so will result in warnings. If you have legitimate concerns, discuss it seriously and civilly

I have looked into what you say that happened, and all I could gather was that a now retired admin spoke to you months ago, that was clearly not this round, and did not even leave a note. So, please, don't make up things.

I don't really see much people ahelping about racism or conflict, and much less staff stepping on to stop it. The great majority of cases are when people are overdoing it, such as atttacking someone over something small, or breaking immersion. About the event; I did speak to the admins behind it about just spawning random traitors instead of getting someone with a clear objective.

In my opinion, it is people's choice to roleplay racists characters or not. If you want, go ahead, you might have some consequences in character and that is fine. Besides, racism is not only about just insulting, ignoring people or being mean to them, in its own core, racism is about prejudice on a certain individual due to their racial origins, which I guess would also apply to non-bad things and the like.
