Should ent ban players for excessive racism?

[cyberpunk]

I'm not racist though I'm white :3
irl I never had a problem with my friends about racism but when I'm in game I really don't know what the victim feels about it. Just the ignore command is ok? I mean because of 1 player everyone has to type !ignore hisStupidRacistNickname and it's ok? He won't be banned, he can join the next game and do again.. and again?..
If ingame there's a guy using a racist nickname, has a chance of 90% he is a troller and he will flame the whole game.
Amazes me how people just do it because they are hiding behind the monitor

if It makes you feel better, post here the chat logs about these stupid ppl. Please try use

Comes under flaming

[bit]

Not much u can do with registering such names. Blizzard didn't impelment any name filter, so..banning everyone with racist names is just impossible. Keep on the good work at banning for flame like this.

[Kaisereo]

Of course, if someone is ignorant enough to be indigenous enough to put down someone's race then they deserve the consequences. You can use the !ignore command sure, but than that player that committed the offence would never learn and would continue bashing other players.

[VirusHunter]

well maybe we should ban them for a week or more idk u guys decide that. but racist flamming is messed up on many levels.
as for the ignore command. maybe we can make it easier for people to ignore by allowing say if u want to ignore blue you can type !ignore 1 or teal would be 2 etc etc. idk just an idea to maybe help.

[RaptorXI]

What about sexism?
Although i know there is an /ignore command it's a bad experience if you need to use it in my opinion.

[VirusHunter]

unfortunately there is nothing you can really do inside a game to stop someone for using profane language. the only thing we can do for you now is give you the ignore command. or if its bad you can try to votekick the offender. and if nothing else just post a ban request for sexist/racist flamming.

This is the internet, free speech.
People say shit all the time so my vote goes to no.
Maybe kids need to stop being butt hurt over stupid shit or stop taking the internet so seriously.

just because its over the internet does not mean you have the right to verbally abuse someone. there is rules and regulations you are supposed to abide by. the end user agreements you agree to when you sign into bnet.

[uakf.b]

They lose the right by having players !ignore them.

[wTc[Aunt.Tan]]

!yes.

[karasu.]

Do you really think Blizzard would care to indulge in players using racial slurs and other types of profanity? This game is almost 11 years old, they stopped caring about it years ago. I'm not saying it's okay to do it, but the !ignore command is a viable option.

[Dissh1tRiteHere]

Blizzard does block racial and profanity names that's why u have to use a 1 or an L or make the name.

To bad words too.

[DAbot]

!Ignore or
!Squelch anyone heard of squelch its also available option as a new solution to use instead of !ignore its also a same thing as ignore a partial name wouldn't came back with racial fouls and profanity ignorance and brutality.
