Racist and plain disgusting chat
There needs to be 0 tolerance on racist and plain unwanted global chat. I see no reason myself or anyone needs this name calling. Have 0 tolerance and this will stop. No warning nothing. Seem some need to call players names to try and get a rush out of players ? I have no clue. But to see this from same players over and over is just childish and unwanted. GM please stop this now as it gets worse everyday. Even to PM this is just wrong. There should be no need to copy chat and send it to a GM. Not asking much but ban these players from game . We can all enjoy this great game without racist name calling. Thank you

Re: Racist and plain disgusting chat
Madgambler,
Thank you for your concern, and while I understand what your saying, let me explain that we have two main rules in place to deal with this as best we can. From our standpoint, we simply do not have the time to police the chat 24x7... nor should we have to babysit a group of adults, because lets face it.. we're all adults playing this game now. The GMs are expected to keep the server running, provide updates, content and bug fixes.. monitor for cheating, check players routinely and unpredictably.. and we spend a lot of time dealing with concerns of players on Discord over various things from game play issues to valid concerns that require immediate attention. It is extremely time consuming to be active in a server, and one we've commited to, but we can only do so much while keeping the server as healthy as possible.
To police chat, would take away from many other things. The exclude feature in game works, and players that you find offensive can be excluded. You said that it's the same players over and over, so if you exclude them the problem should be solved.
You also say, "There should be no need to copy chat and send it to a GM". I find this to be couter intuitive because if its not brought to our attention... we can't determine if its something we will get involved with. Racism shouldn't have a place in global and if it is an issue as significant as you explain, then that is something we can work to resolve by creating the functionality to remove global privileges, but again.. unless its reported to us, we can't make that determination.
We feel that we do not need to police offensive whispers, the in game functionality for excluding was intended to give the players the opportunity to self manage.
1. In-Game Chat
In-game chat is not censored, but can be viewed by any staff member at any time. While we aren't here to parent, players who find their sole intent to be ruining the gameplay of others will quickly see that this behavior will be met with whatever punishment is fitting. Toxicity and excessive vulgarity will violate Rule #7 and will be dealt with at our discretion.7. Using Judgement & Respecting Others
During your time here, we ask that you use your best judgement before deciding to make any actions that could be deemed inappropriate. Before you decide to block an entrance in a safety zone, or continualy release tames in town with the intent to have them whack down an AFK player, remember that you will be accountable for your actions here. Just because a specific action isn't listed in the rules, does not mean we will not find it to be unworthy of attention. All players are more than welcome to speak with a staff member before performing any action that could constitute punishment.GM Charles - Global Admin & Developer - Server / Website

Re: Racist and plain disgusting chat
Exactly we are all adult and we are hardcore player and been played it many years ago. And we all know we are bunch of _____ players.
To OP you are the reason why I quit Lineage because it getting too softcore and GM censor everything i say back in those old day.
If the player or game are too offense, racist, maybe you should move on.

Re: Racist and plain disgusting chat
You quit Lineage because the GMs didnt let you be racist on global?

Re: Racist and plain disgusting chat
nope I didnt mean racist. But GM censor so many $#@#@ words and basically make the game more hellokitty version.

Re: Racist and plain disgusting chat
But OP was specifically complaining about racist messages. That's seems to bother you?

Re: Racist and plain disgusting chat
i honestly don't really care and don't think thats a big deal at all lol, come on, a 12 year old yells to fuck my mom and threatens to burn my house down all the time on dota.....
Trash talk is always part of the game...it is basically one of the most entertaining part when i play live server.....you will be surprised how creative people could get with their cursing...man...everyone turns into Shakespeare when they curse....sometimes, you just gotta give them some credits....lol...there is an "exclude" command in game? Then people should start using it!!!
To Charles,
If some people are really concerned with the in-game trash talk, may be put something in the loading screen when we enter the game:
"Warning: The in-game contents and chats may contain elementas that are not suitable for some players, viewer discretion is advised."

Re: Racist and plain disgusting chat
Extreme Toxicity We've already come to the point where a level of extremely toxic chat constantly fills up global chat. I'm constantly being messaged about "X" player participating, and more than enough chat bans and warnings have been issued. If you find yourself to be in the list of people who are attacking one another over real life issues, consider this your very last and final warning. Yes, the player base can exclude each other. However, if I have to consistently punish the same players for breaking chat rules, then obviously I'm not doing a good enough job. I'm sick of seeing dead relatives, tumors, strokes, and many other things that should never be thrown around to begin with. 0 tolerance for this behavior begins from the time this is posted. If you participate in this extreme toxicity, you may find yourself unable to use chat permanently, or at my discretion, unwelcome to play here. Guess this was just a scare ? Morty wrote this sometime ago. Again I should not have to quit or exclude all these players. I have many screen shots of racist comments. I also have screen shots of threats to life. This has no place anywhere. Game or real life. Once something happens it is to late. Not saying GM needs to watch 24/7 .word search will bring these same players up. I know it is what live did to finally stop this. No warning for threats on life. Instant ban. Thank you
