This thread isn't about politics or religion.
It's about harassment through an anonymous message, done by a coward. The OP's post has been seriously derailed.
Muslim are kinda in their crusader era for done some reason.
This seems to be the case with the Anon message/sending of cash quite alot of the time. Improper use with hatred, racial, harassing comments sent with the purpose of upsetting the person it's sent to.
Something needs to be done to put an end to this.
There should be a report button linked to these events to be able to report it for abusive/racial use with a punishment of having the feature revoked from them the same way it's done for the chat system.
A couple short term bans getting longer each time until a 3rd ban is given on which the feature should be removed altogether for them
Regardless how the message is sent to an individual, the content of it is still of the same nature.
Or torn could keep its freedoms (even if used close to the edge), to preserve the game as it is. Alternative solution would be for people not to undress themselves naked in global or forums, slap their beliefs in other faces, and grow a thicker skin to not turn into "victims".
tbecause crushed their civilization back to the stone age and they just got out from that rock.
Someone sure has an opinion. Is the right answer to just cut off the ability to message others anonymously? Seems very extreme. I’m never a fan of cutting off the ability to speak your mind. No matter how asinine their opinions may be. Torn is canonically a city in America, after all.
If you openly show support for something that may trigger someone, just expect some kind of backlash… People have died in these topics of debate. Their opinions will be harsh. If you truly believe that it’s correct, feel free to turn the other cheek. That’s what it means to support something in the first place.
Exactly.
Just to clarify, yes, the initial received message is very actionable. Hope you reported it so it can be actioned. And if anyone receives similar messaging, they are also encouraged to report accordingly.
I farted? How is that supposed to offend someone? That just shows that he's not bright. That and being racist
i never said i cant use english?
This is incorrect, it wouldn't matter if this message was directed to an Israeli person, a Chinese person, or a Buddhist. It's distinctly discriminatory and the sender clearly knew that hence why they chose to hide behind anonymity.
Interesting take, so it would be a parallel to the 1st amendment?
I still find it cowardly, but I guess I'm not against it anymore.
Maybe add a public stat showing anonymous item/money sends, updating once a week, so we can point out the cowards.
And in regards of the messages sent to Stan, I don't see anything bannable there, it would require something actually nasty and repeated for me to find it bannable. Or talking about dead relatives, that's a no-no even just once.
This isn't to condone the messages, Stan is a pleasant person from my interactions with him, he doesn't deserve the smoke, but again, equipping the honor, he fueled the fire that produced that smoke.
I think taking fake drugs and alcohol in a game is somewhat different tbh.
The gambling aspect is questionable, even if in game, as it still provides the same issues and feeds the same addiction as RL gambling.
But clicking a button on a game for +250E aint it.
I thought any violent game where we are beating each others with baseball bats, pretending to take drugs & alcohol, and also gambling aspects you mentioned are Haram.
Seeying shit like this, makes me so happy and appreciative of the environment I was brought up in where freedom of choice is the number 1.
Feel sorry for those barred from it by man-made laws and some hairy guys telling them what to do in churches/mosques/pagodas.
My cousing married a muslim, was all fun and games untill he started locking her at home, being given rights to it by his beliefs.
That’s akin to saying “All Americans are loud obnoxious asshats because the only American I’ve ever met that one time was one”
Not to go too deep in the irl politics of things, I am NOT a subject matter expert (SME) on Israel or Palestine. As such, I do not feel qualified to speak on the matter.
From the outside looking in, this single ignorant person’s opinion (talking about myself on the matter of Israel & Palestine) is that there seems to be wrong-doing on both sides but Israel appears to becoming the ‘bad guy’ in so far as coming close to if not in fact committing genocide on a particular people. In their fear, they have become that which they once hated and feared (ie WW2 Nazi Germany)
Again, my own fairly ignorant opinion on the matter. Feel free to discard in the trash bin.

Torn is canonically a city in America, after all.
This is incorrect btw.
“while it remains within the continental US territory geographically, this region and its inhabitants were expelled from the Union once more at some point during the mid 20th Century. This event left a wound on both city and nation. Torn's ousting was and is one of the most shameful acts in American history, with many keen to forget how quickly Uncle Sam disowned his most disappointing child.”
I mean.. only 14 mins from Mexico and 1h30 from UK.. we can work it out right
