Racism
 

So there is a lot of it, we know.

How to resolve it? Harsher punishments! It is now a high priority offense, meaning one warning and you're jailed.

Any suggestions on how we can put a stop to it, let us know.

I appreciate it, thank you.

I personally believe racism to be one of the most serious offences, after all children play this game. I think it should be zero tolerance. But that's just me...

make some flags , items or places against racism ?

Remember to report racism guys!

Well you could update the swear filter in a sense. I've mentioned before that it blocks the word "minigame" due to 3-4 consecutive letters within the word, but it should be detecting words that stand on their own, unless special capitalization is detected (if I were to, say, capitalize those 3-4 letter within the word). It should also count certain numbers as letters (ex. 1 as an I, 5 as an S, 4 as an A, etc.) and understand more words (the certain 5 letter word that people were calling the bat in Jeni's Secret). Those are all my ideas for now.

The jail time should start at a low amount (4hrs?), but increase if the player continues to offend (doubling each time?). We want this to come to an end so harsh(er) punishments should be given out so the player learns his mistakes and not continue.

This would double the rate of racism already localized.

Harsh Punishments, updated swear filter and i recommend something like an announcer that sends a message to everyone about racism and other things and results of doing so.
Or like a rulebook item you can read and cannot be deleted. Thats all i have as in ideas

"improving" the swear filter does nothing. The filter itself, is already flawed as is, including spaces for swear words.

I know if you report someone on iZone, it includes the reported players current client chat. This is helpful in depicting if someone is saying something, dunno if iEra has this same system.

Harassment will always take place on anything that is online. It won't just go away. I am glad people are taking this more seriously, but I also think players should keep in mind there is a block button for a reason.

To build off of that, blocking someone should also block their client chat as well, including PM's. Classic had/has the system, so I don't see why iEra cannot.

If a player I warned/ jailed too many times as a result or racism/ vulgarity etc. Said player should be limited to prewritten responses, 'Hello, How are you' Nice weather we're having!' 'Wanna spar?' 'Can I join your gang?' And you can buy more responses for gralats! If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.

Arguably the best idea I've seen on this thread.

Reminds me of RuneScape when you werent at a certaint age limit

I believe with each offense the punishment should be increased first time jail for 12 hours. Second time Jail for a day, third time if they didn't learn the last two times, ban or jail for a week. Let it be known to those on the server of this. Let the word out that it's not ok to use racist comments for ones joy of it. Broadcast it ingame as well maybe once a week? I know many have graalians, but some don't read this.

You can't stop racism, just like you can't stop hackers. There will be loopholes. It's pointless to try to catch them all. The current system is fine, it's the Internet ffs. Stop being so butthurt, call the WAAmbulance, and log off.

I believe in action over sitting around and letting a known problem fester. You have a problem with players fighting vulgarity? Then get off the thread if you're not in support of this.
