All Networks Make the N-word considered hate speech

[Technosword]

Recently, I reported a player for calling my team a bunch of n****** and after reporting, they only got warned. The Cubecraft swearing rules state that swearing requires a warning, but hate speech does not.

Spoiler: The rule

2.1 - Swearing
Swearing is defined as the use of offensive language such as profanities, expletives, hate speech, or other language intended to belittle, offend, or upset other users. Swearing is strictly prohibited. Hate speech of any kind does not require a warning. Bullying punishments are at the discretion of the moderation team. Masking swear words will result in a punishment. Swearing or threatening in your appeal will result in a punishment.

In recent times, many people have come to realize the n-word is more than just a swear word. Misusing it or using it as an insult should be considered hate speech and should not require a warning before a mute. I hope that Cubecraft can specify this in the rules, or at least just start punishing like it. I’d like to hear opinions so feel free to respond.

As it says in the rules, the incitement to hate is direct mute, not a warning. You are right with this that you have said.

Isnt the n word already considered hate speech?

I suppose not, it’s up to interpretation of the staff member, as it was only a warning for the person. I’m just trying to make this always be a mute. (Not going to name staff member as that would be rude)

Hey, this is already considered hate speech and the reported player should have been instantly punished. It seems to be a moderation mistake! Let us know the username of the reported user through a private conversation and we will get that fixed for you. Thank you!
