1. Look at Report
2. Investigate/Collect Evidence
3. Warn/Ban - if evidence applies to player
4. Come to a Conclusion

Note: Don't warn/ban a player for personal reasons. Do it based on the evidence gathered.


@CM, this is how you may know.

We don't ban players for personal reasons. We don't ban players just for being black. We don't ban players because we don't like them. These players were obviously banned for something and not for 'being black'.

Ironic how they were all standing there doing nothing and suddenly got banned.
Is it because admins thought black people might intimidate new players?
How come an alternate account that joined the game just to dress like those guys, that had done nothing else beforehand got banned?
It was obviously something to do with the way they dressed.

Yeah that's probably what it was. Case closed everyone.

@CM, you had posted you didn't know. I provided steps to know what you can do in order to be aware of the situation. It's part of your job description. You should know this. Not necessary to make excuses for your team members.

I stood up for them because you began saying we banned them for being black, which is completely out of the question.

They are colored individuals representing their guild. What is wrong with that? The players that weren't dressed as African-Americans, were their chat logs reviewed to consider warnings or bans? "Nigers" (shortened version of the N word) as provided in the picture. Why was this large group the focal point? Is it because they are dressed differently than you? What's wrong with players expressing themselves with no intentions of meaning harm.

lol now I know you're just trolling  

Haven't the admins thought of censoring the word niger or any of that sort? Simple as a pimple dimple

Why are you guys thinking so racially about this? I see a group of people mocking a well-known gang from LA, often linked to drugs and/or violence. This was never allowed on Graal Classic, especially large-scale like this to attract attention. Not only that, but it can be seen as offensive to those it applies to.

Pretty sure dressing up as stereotypical Arabs with the tag "ISIS" will get you in trouble too, just saying.

Crono is right because of the same reason. Too many people immediately jumping onto racist ideologies.. Let's be reasonable.

I'm not trolling. Seems you can't provide an answer to my questions if you keep avoiding them. Guessing you're letting your personal emotions distract yourself from being professional. Way to be mature Mr. I'm a GP

I've seen white people imitating gangs with cig shields lmao nothing came of that.

And if you still think it was a "mistake" how is banning every black person in the area a mistake. Even if they weren't wearing the la bloods guild tag.

If you're going to post on this thread at least realize that some people not associated with the guild at all got banned.

Anyone thinking they were banned for being dressed up as black needs to read this, reread it, reread it again, reread it once more, then reread it as many times as it takes for you to understand this very basic concept.

You guys don't know any side of the story as you were not involved so you have no right arguing about it and due to the diversity of this forum racial based discussion will almost always offend someone or a group of people.

If you feel a player or players were mistreated there is proper ways to go about reporting and discussing it - Graalians is not one of those.
