Dear Forummers,

 

Despite all our gripes about updates, nerfs, buffs, bad play, and a million Wargaming issues, there is one that I would like your help on. The problem of racism in the chat during battles. This is one thing that happens, although not frequently, but is still very toxic to the gaming experience. Please, if you can, call it out to the player, downvote the player, report him. This is something we can do actively to make the game experience much better. Thank you.

Yep, effectiveness of the down vote system aside, I absolutely agree.

 

We should really have some sort of muting system in this game (I don't think blocking a player would silence him in matches) or at the very least the ability to disable chat on random battles. Some of us just want to have fun and toxicity just ruins the game.

Any example of "racism" in the chat? In case it's a real racist comment, should be immediate ban of the player by WG, or big trouble for WG if they do nothing.

But I haven't seen any racist comment lately (like during the last year). Actually, even before I have seen it only once - one guy was badly offending all Asians, which was reported and the offender quickly disappeared from the game.

 

There are lots of calling people monkeys, pigs, dogs or chicken, however that does not mean it's racism. People are just insulting other people as bad as they possibly can, according to their traditions and level of intelligence.

 

Another thing - how would they know anyone's race in order to offend? Unless you have your race mentioned in the clan tag or IGN (which is kind of racism by itself), it shouldn't be possible to offend anyone based on his/her race. And, as I said before, general insults against certain race should be very easy to deal with.

there are a lot of moronic racism messages sent after the battle, makes it easy to put a ticket in and try and get them banned

Well, the adjective 'Asian', 'Chinese', 'Japanese', 'Korean' followed by the insults.... I don't really need to list them all do I? Yes, I can recognise racist comments and I can distinguish the difference.

Well in that case, simple report to support should result in immediate ban of the offender. Down-voting is just waste of time. 

 

I was just wondering how do they know who is Japanese, Chinese or even Asian to insult, simply because I haven't seen such messages for a good while, at least since introduction of that MH system (a separate surprise for me, obviously they are all busy pressing that "hate button" now).

I seen a lot of insulters a lot, mostly plugy. but best way is send ticket to WG and ban em for good, tho, I wonder how many minutes the Insulter will cry.

[Kabama04]

Some idiot thought it would be funny to make a clan called “We Aren’t Racist” and name the tag [NIBBA]

Seriously WG should do something about that

Most common is pig , donkey , monkey etc . People from some particular countries call usually say pig . This is obviously due to their religious beliefs . I always reply to this with " I love bacon " .

Positive Appraisals are attributed to a player, but not negative ones.

Now a days, the Trolls/Racists use the Appraisal system to get their personal satisfaction... 

 

On the plus side, for being on the receiving end of these Racist comments, it does make one appreciate how others within one's own country feels when subjected to such comments.

I'm Korean, and after battles(in the occasional ones that I really suck in) some morons swear at me in personal chat. They don't stop by just insulting me, though. They usually go on mocking our whole nation, calling us useless noobs/pigs/etc. I usually go over with the ones that just insult me, but the ones that mock my nation I can not pass. So, I sent in multiple tickets to WG with screenshots. But does sending tickets actually do anything to the offender?

​Tickets submitted to WG don't really achieve much. I had death threats from a player called [Removed] ​ and nothing happened after. Not even a "provocative comm".

And how do "they" know you are Korean to apply their racism to your "whole nation"? Maybe one should not advertise his/her race/nationality/beliefs/sexual_orientation in the game that has nothing to do with it?

Not necessarily advertised info. Some info can also be gleaned from other sources. the clan info for example - which languages are set? assumptions based on the name sounding like. what language u speak in game.....

Now people have debated about permanent chat ban of HokeyPokey . I think he was trying out which words go through chat . For that I think perma ban is way too much . But it is things like this which deserve a perma ban . If you giving death threats to others then I don't think such a person should be allowed to communicate in-game any longer .

Every nation in the world needs to be respected. Even if they have political issues, blame the politicians, not the nation itself. No nation in the world is worth being mocked at. That's why ingame racism must be done for. Unfortunately, people online tend to exploit the anonymous nature of the internet and say words that can be extremely offensive. They wouldn't say those kind of words in person, right?
