Freedom to curse and to thief..but this?

I know devs don't want to use the banhammer. But i think there are limits to what the community can do to griefing.
I think i just found one of those limits.


It clearly shows a swastika on the floor made just to provoke me to kill him. (he asked me to kill him after claiming he emptied our vault..fool.)

He had been moving chests and stuff behind cabins 5 minutes earlier and chopped down our apple tree (ooh now we feel griefed sob sob), but even if moving stuff behind cabins is griefing (exploiting) i still dismissed it. A chests is nothing to worry about. But visual provocation (although it does nothing to me personally) should not be allowed. It pollutes the view. It's an eye sore and for some people it might be more.

So what this thread is about is that i think Jorb and Loftar do need a banhammer. Not for exploiters. Not for cheaters. But for people like i encountered here. It's a game, not some blank canvas to spread politics on.

Erm, SWASTIGET?

It's not a big deal. Repave it.

edit: It was JTG, just btw, if you were wondering.

If he had just wrecked random tiles sure. But this is crazy. He has no reason whatsoever to even dare to draw a swastika. There are some things you just don't do. One of them being raping your passed away grandma and the other being drawing swastikas because you're not getting the attention you want.

Would be funny if he lives in Germany. I could be calling the cops on his ass. But if he did he would never do something like this.

He's doing it to offend you, and it's working.

Also, you're forgetting that a lot of the world does not see the swastika as offensive. http://卐.com


EDIT: Not sure why the URL tags don't work around it. Probably something to do with it being a unicode symbol.

[sami1337]

That's not my point. I am not offended in that manner. I am offended by him involving real world politics into a game. Stuff like this makes the difference between a PG game and a Mature game.

I am letting him cool down as everyone ignores his actions. He's doing no harm and wasting his time while i am sitting here enjoying myself.

What real-world politics? :/ A symbol only has as much meaning as you give it.

[sami1337]

卐 has as much meaning as "?"
The difference is that if you made both into a banner and went out on the street with 卐 you'd have bold people in bomberjacks walking behind you and people calling the cops, while the other just confuses people.

Your commend made me remember what adam savage said once.
"i reject reality and substitute my own"

And the fact is, we aren't marching on the street with it painted on a banner. He carved it in the road in Haven and Hearth. He did it with no intent other than offending people. It's not a big deal.

卐 is different than the Nazi symbol, which is slightly at an angle. 卐 has been used by many different cultures and religions across the world. Native Americans used it. So the swastika itself is not really a bad thing, people just associate it with something bad.

[sami1337]

Which is true. So that renders your post useless as you said it yourself it's seen as a bad thing.
