Can i have my account back?
Permabanned without a single warning after using the n-word in a match against someone who spam taunt the entire time.
No appeal, no warning, no chance to come back? Why does Ubi want to cull their playerbase like this over such a trivial thing?
It's a multiplayer game, ubi... people talk ****. Especially when you enable toxicity to such an extent.
Can't say I can help you there. Emote spam in-game is one thing, but using racial slurs is another. It's not something that's tolerated. Here is the code of conduct for more info https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1548873.
I think there's a couple of points to be made here. 1stly, and obviously, you clearly don't understand what it is you're even saying. The "n-word" as you so eloquently put it is not a problem, you find it everywhere in academia; the issue is the intention behind the word's use in abusive discourse.Originally Posted by Duratro Go to original post
It's also worth noting that you're not necessarily a bad person for not knowing better. The finer points of political correctness are too often ignored or missed entirely, but they're there as an equalizer, and whether you realize it or not, you're also protected by them. Unfortunately this leads to censoring, and the context supporting the function is lost. Look at classic philosophers, or even Gandhi, they were perverse misogynists of a hysterically primitive nature, yet we endlessly quote the smart bits that suit our worldviews.
Speaking of, the world, you'll find there's consequences to your actions. You've just encountered some. Learn from it.
The other point to be made is For Honor certainly does encourage and reward unsavoury behaviour. It can wear anyone down, but Ubisoft have made it clear they want this to be a part of their game.
Since when has competitive trash talk ever involved racial slurs?
Talk as much trash as you want, but why would your reaction be to call someone a racial slur in a competitive setting?
I'm glad you're banned, people should talk as much crap as they want but there's a line between playful emotional trash talk and being a hateful bigot.
Really? Trivial? SMH....Originally Posted by Duratro Go to original post
A racial slur used in a derogatory fashion is not a trivial thing. People that reach for a racial slur when they blow their cool are either bona-fide bigots or somebody who doesn't understand what they are saying and are parroting the word/phrase. In either case I'd say a ban is completely justified and seems perfectly fair play. Hopefully you will learn that your actions have consequences as a result of this experience.Originally Posted by Duratro Go to original post
