🤬 😈 The BM report thread

[NMEduck]

Don’t worry guys, I’ll BM them back the next time we face

[IonXia]

Never had anyone bm/disconnect on me out of the 40 games I’ve played this season until these last two matchs in a row. They had the opportunity to run but they didn’t.

I know that the devs rarely punish this behavior during off season but I figure I’d report them anyways.

Make that three times in a row. Must be my lucky day.

[Coltraz]

Some things change but Nagao always stays the same.

[Unown]

Dude has never used the run button, always disconnects. I think action should be taken because it’s ridiculous of how long hes been doing it

[kabylian]

Dmann 1/2 people i play against dc , i guess they hating my team then

[Coltraz]

Can Devs finally ban Nagao for a week or two to teach him there is a run button?

[NMEduck]

@Dev_VKC umm, this guy has gone literally years using this ign with what I’d assume have been zero consequences . I do find it a little amusing that he might have been using this name longer than I’ve been using mine, but don’t you think it’s time something happens to him?

[Herr_Loki]

What’s bad with his nick? I don’t understand

[Killerdog]

I assume the NGGR is for the N word, or is it an acronym for something? Either way, it’s not immediately obvious so you can’t really expect a Japanese-based company to pick up on stuff like that

[NMEduck]

@Killerdog

it’s not immediately obvious

It’s not? Tbh I was thinking it was comparable to someone having an ign like “Afold Hilter did nothing wrong” when it comes to being an obvious name filter bypass but I guess not. I mean, you can even try sounding out “NGGR” and it sounds like the hard r. I can see it being less obvious for a japanese based game tho

[Exu]

Yeah it’s debatable. It can also be an acronym that is unfortunately close to the problematic word. Just talked to a German guy was an exchange student in the US, in German they use the word ‘Digga’ for “dude” or “bro” and he said he had to be kinda careful so that nobody got upset. It feels sometimes like people have grown a bit too sensitive about this stuff.

[Coltraz]

Yeah, they don’t have to check every ign but this one is pretty obvious, similar to what loki tried to do with nazi symbolism

[EMI_Eklypz]

they should ban this Killerdog persons name for animal cruelty.

If it wasn’t coupled with “McStain” I would’ve always assumed it was just an acronym for something and read it as the letters. The US is far more sensitive and on the lookout for the N-word than most other countries, probably due to it having greater social significance.

Either way, I agree it’s not an appropriate name. If the Devs have the means to change it to simply “Mcstain” and notify the user not to use inappropriate names then that would be great.

[Unown]

and maybe add more names into the bad names list. When you know you know

[EBO]

I can confirm that in german the word ‘Digga’ is used by young people to call their friends.

Ja Digga = yes man or yes brother or yes my friend.

The N* word you’re referring to doesn’t exist in german with that sound, and is sounding completely different. Also that topic doesn’t exist here in any similar extend like in the US for example.

I also only understood why it could be upsetting after reading the followed posts.

I’m sure only english speaking countries will think like that, japanese definitely not, so the devs would not ban it, because if nobody reports, they cannot see a problem in that name.

[NMEduck]

@Exu

t feels sometimes like people have grown a bit too sensitive about this stuff.

I’d say it’s more just people being sensitive to different things depending on their culture, age, etc. I’m sure there are plenty of other topics you’d feel “too sensitive” about. Maybe loki thinks we’re all being too sensitive about his nazi ign. Of course, hat’s something we’d disagree with him on because of various reasons, but the same goes for the N word and the significance that word holds.

[Exu]

No question about that but I think if something ‘could maybe be seen as offensive’ we shouldn’t automatically assume the worst. Just my opinion.

[NMEduck]

The problem with that is the only reason it falls under the category of ‘could maybe be seen as offensive’ is because you guys apparently can’t sound out ‘NGGR’. Hint: it sounds identical to the hard R. The intent of the ign is crystal clear.

Another thing I’d like to add is that I’m not even upset about this username, which I hope was apparent in my first post. I’m more annoyed that you took the “people are too sensitive” route when you previously made some BS argument about cultural sensitivity in the monster design thread. And btw, that wasn’t me being culturally insensitive since the person who posted that drawing was taking it from Japapense culture, where chibi artists try to not draw naked children, and added their own twist to it.

[Exu]

I’m not denying that it could be a racist nickname, what I’m saying is that it could also be an unfortunate acronym. It’s definitely in the grey area.

Also, for what it’s worth, I know what chibi art is supposed to be and for me personally it was ok, but I know that other opinions exist. I clearly expressed this in the thread so not sure why you brought it up here? That topic was discussed extensively between mods. And it doesn’t need any more discussing.
