Possible Course Of Action?

Hey, was just playing on **** Brits server and a guy was getting racially abused by about 5 other guys. When he told them to leave off and responded to some of their jibes, he got kicked and was told that the next time it happened he'd get banned. However, nothing happened to the other guys. I was just wondering if there was any kind of action that the NS community in general could take to this disgusting behaviour, as i'm sure it doesn't want to be known as a place where racial (and other) abuse takes place. The shocking thing was that it was the admin who kicked him and another member of **** Brits that initiated the action, so I was wondering what the NS team think about such things?

    Just to let you guys know, the forum took out the name of the server, making it ****. It's dumb455, but not with numbers.

    Once again, the NS team just develops the game. They don't have controll over the servers and it's players. Anything that happens on that server should be discussed with the server admin.

    Like jeez said I would take this up with the server admins/owners. But with action like that on that server I wont be playing on it anytime soon. I assume this will get locked because the mods look down on players talking about servers in these forums.

    I agree that servers normally shouldn't be made examples of for lame players, but if a server admin was being genuinely racially biased and not doing anything about other racists, then they should be name and shamed.

    [edit] jezpuh : discuss it with the admins? Sounds like the admins were taking part in the racist abuse <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Pff once again the narrow minded types that can't take a joke and think they're special are on the warpath again.

    There's lots of **** taking and jibs between the regulars on this server all the time that's how it is because most of the people on there get along really well and have a laugh the admins welsh and we're always calling him a sheep shagger <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> he finds it most amusing although we occasionally get slapped to death.

    Some other dude comes on and doesn't like it ans starts complaing that we're racist etc. He got kicked cos he wouldn't be quite firstly and secondly for his outragous ping <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    Point is tho if you don't like the server don't play there is't as simple as that there's plently of others to choose from; don't come here trying to name ashame cos is pointless and none cares.

    I just got kicked off said server for bringing this up. Seems like they have something to hide.

    Probably cos their no doubt fed up with people moaning about it.

    btw the person that was allegedly being racial abused was calling us all homosexuals and saying that the UK was full of homosexuals.

    Call any admin that and you get kicked form most servers to be honest.

    These forums are not the place to discuss server issues.
