Turkey Terminator is my favorite title thus far in game. NOT because I hate the people of Turkey of course but because I have this strange obsession with killing every turkey I find. I’m like that dog from the movie UP except instead of “Squirrel!” being my thing it’s “Turkey!”
That said, if this is something the Turkish community feel strongly about, I am happy to give up that title to make your game experience better. I am sorry that people are jerks.
I know…I read your posts. What I am suggesting is to literally be the change you wish to see, and just let it go.
I never resorted to insults or threats so I am already being the change I am suggesting that some of you should adopt. I agree with you regarding not changing the title yet you are all so upset with me because I suggest you dial down the toxicity and give good constructive feedback instead.
Take a step back and think about what you are responding to and how you formulating yourself before you press the reply-button.
You do not agree with OP? That’s fine. Me neither. But you dont have to resort to acting in such a pervasive and toxic manner. If a community manager reads anything you put down here you are more likely to have your comments removed rather than have someone take your critisism into consideration.
I am not upset in any way, shape, or form. I find all of this to be obsurd, and you white-knighting this just proves the point of how obsurd this has truly become. I thought for sure at some point reason would intervene in your series of rants, but alas… that is not to be. Good luck out there in the world avoiding harmful words… you’re gunna need it.
Dude. I am just suggesting that you dont act in a toxic manner. Excuse that behavior anyway you like, it’s still bullshit. I dont think you gave any good constructive feedback here either. You just ridiculed OP and then started defending this toxic behavior. Good for you I guess.
If saying white-knighting is toxic, then I can’t imagine what he thinks are insults.
As far as I know, I haven’t insulted anyone other than by calling crybabies crybabies ONE time and that post got removed. And if you feel insulted by anything else I said that was not an insult, that does not make what I said an insult.
It’s the same argument as with speech that incites violence. If you feel incited to cause violence, that does not mean what was said was inciting violence.
I can understand wanting to stop things like hate speech. But to be honest changing a in-game title won’t change how people act in chat
The way to stop hate speech is by reporting the person and then mute them forever. At that point you done everything you could on your end of things. Then it will be up to Amazon to figure out the player punishment.
I understand where you’re coming from. I’ve seen this in action on my server. We have a Turkish guild in our faction we worked with while low level with wars and I’ve seen people being disrespectful or racist towards them just cause they have the word turkey in their company name. I later on learnt they are actually Turkish and people were being that way towards them for that reason. I experience this in England myself in person. Being a foreigner who’s lived in 7 different countries for many years each.
What’s funny though is the amount of people on here dismissing you calling you this or that … AND STILL BEING RACIST AND DISRESPECTFUL towards YOU. Oh and let me correct myself sorry. It isn’t funny, it’s pathetic to see people read what you’ve said and then do the exact same thing in another way.
Racism of any kind shouldn’t be tolerated.
I see tons of replies on here of people who aren’t even aware that what they are saying is disrespectful or racist in any way. It’s burnt into alot of these people from a young age and they can’t even recognize it.
Sad really but what I’d say is. Let’s hope for features and things to improve to filter the hateful people out. For now I’d say continue to enjoy your community and what you have created. Continue to enjoy the game and school those unaware racist buttholes in PvP
PS I spent 18 hours in Istanbul airport waiting for connecting flight to South Africa some years ago and I have to say. Your country is a destination I will a thousand percent come back to for a proper visit. Love the food. Love the colours the people the architecture etc. Hek just landing in Istanbul was an amazing 30 minutes of low down flight I got to see so much on the way down. There’s bad people everywhere. For someone to target a certain kind of person and shame them for whatever they may be known for is incorrect. Everybody is different. Shitty people are all sizes shapes and color and people who are horrible to others they know nothing about. Those people are the ones wasting their lives away not you so remember that homie
I just read through most of the thread and it seems clear to me that most people have misunderstood you.
Though your post could have been improved, like any post, I don’t think this is your fault. I myself have been astounded at the number of replies on my own threads which completely miss even the simplest of points.
I have witnessed what you speak of on the server I play on, however it’s not as bad here as you describe it on yours.
Personally, I rarely make use of the reporting function as I am comfortable, for example, with profanity. Racism and hate speech however is another matter.
I encourage you and your friends to systematically report it, every single time. People have often complained on these forums that moderation in New World is excessive, exaggerated, too strict. Well this is the kind of issue where ia flaw becomes an asset. It is here to punish those who break the TOS but it is especially here to protect those who don’t.
I might also add that in some countries, for instance in Europe, hate speech is not only against the TOS, it is against the law.
The chat on my server was full of hate, anger and insults in the beginning, now it is very (almost too much) peaceful. I’m pretty sure that is due to very reactive moderation. I really recommend that you use the report function actively.
A big issue in global chat is that some people decide to engage in long conversations in languages that aren’t English or whatever else the server states. Take European servers: if everyone were to speak their own language, the chat would be an unreadable mishmash of more than 30 languages.
I believe people should be considerate of others and refrain from such a rude behavior, or at least keep it to a minimum, for company advertisement for instance.
