considering he put a warrant out on bin laden i doubt this is the real Saddam.

edit : this was conveniently not advertised when the 'war on terror' was promoted by Bush (which subsequently became the 'war of terror' shortly after its implementation).

Contemporary history lesson given freely by someone who does not wave coloured rags and does not scream in unison.

How can you, as staff member, allow this post to stay up?

Firstly, his faction profile pic is the flag of Al-Qaeda, which, correct me if im wrong, is a terrorist organisation, so is already breaking torns discrimination rules (This includes any text, imagery or flags displayed in support of extreme discrimination, real-world terrorism or Nazism.)

Also, openly saying he wont accept females, or jews, is surely breaking the discrimination rules too...

Ya, Saddam was about as anti-Jihadi as it comes. That's been the West's biggest dilemma in combating religious extremism in the Middle East for decades, their choices are usually between hard-line authoritarian regimes and anarchic religious failed-states. Of course the oft-repeated irony is that every time we overthrow one of these dictators(ie Saddam, Qaddafi, Al-Assad[?]) fhe ensuing power vacuum, and the indiscriminate collateral violence done to civilians & infrastructure just leads to further chaos. Which extremists then use to recruit more jihadists...

It's because they changed the rules for trolling. Someone (not sure who exactly, ched perhaps) isn't able to draw clear lines on the floor that differentiate discriminatory bullshit trolling which is bad for the game - this thread, for example - and harmless trolling or name calling.

Allowing factions the ability to say 'no jews' is ****ing ludicrous and staff know it.

Open racism and hostility isn't a good look for game forums and allowing this shit in the name of 'drama' is pathetic. File a player report on this guy and you'll see just how crap the anon staff can be.

So... as long as theres some pathetic attempt at humour included in the blatantly racist, homophobic, sexist post, its allowed because staff cant / wont see the difference between funny trolling, and moronic trolling?

I am impressed that despite myself not bullying, trade mugging or scamming any player I still have a higher enemy count than his entire faction put together.

They must be doing something right.
