    ive been asking for open slot ltls for ages but this is a way better idea considering it molds your favorite weapon into a ltl and be able to have high rof ltls but i think the biggest issue i foresee would be lmgs try capping a point with 2 lmgs raining stuns while someone is running cqc with a stun thumper or stun oca. also it would probably be best to make it a red mod since some weapons with current number would struggle to get a stun in a single mag with out EM 3 and fits the theme of red mods being combat mods( dont think that the right word for it) but red mods are rof/range/accuracy or recoil

    First off, that reeks of gatekeeping and the no-true-Scotsman fallacy.

    Secondly, exactly what about the "outlaw motorcycle club" culture requires its participants to flaunt insignia loaded with bigoted messaging? Is it about believing in your own freedom or about being all "look how many races and minorities I hate!"?

     

    I'm unironically grateful for the part after the second "clearly" in this quote. Still does not absolve anything before that in my eyes though.

    If your beliefs require you to use hateful symbolism, perhaps you should reevaluate your priorities. And the point still stands that you've been in violation of the Terms of Service for seven years and the only reason that went unnoticed is because no one bothered to look closer at your character's clothes and report it.

    again I grew up outlaw mc and was in outlaw mc three of the most important  bi-laws for 99% outlaw mc is being of aryian decent, must have a Harley Davidson or American produced motor cycle no female patch holders

    @second line: ...so showing others that you're "badass" by invoking Nazi symbolism. Huh.

    but the point of the matter is the symbolism is very much a part of outlaw mc culture its part of what seperates 1%ers from yuppies and I may have certain undertones to my character and I have unpopular beliefs but clearly to the fact my character has looked this way for 7 years I clearly don't go around racial attacking people or yelling racial slurs

    You've had that symbol on your characters for 7 years and no one has said a word, chances are they will continue to not notice it. Why'd you even make a post about this to begin with, youre dry-snitching on yourself, gg dummy lol.

     

    Stop catering to people who dont give a shit about you and just do the damn thing.

     

     

    because I have more then 700 dollars worth of cosmetics on my account and don't want to get blind sided with a ban. during g1 era I confirmed my symbol was fine but in the post about nudity was linked to a blog post from matt and he clearly stated no tolerance for anything related to Nazi germany.

    And how would you go about determining non-virtual to virtual hatred?

    Feel free to try and prove your unbased claim. However, you can't just claim things as if they were truth and expect me to accept them with no real effort on your part.

    As we've established before, we're not talking about the movie. You lack reading comprehension.

     

     

    How is that relevant? I think that most people agree that people dying is a bad thing and that war brings sorrow. Platitudes aren't arguments.

    Source? Because I seriously doubt Germany ellected you to speak on its behalf, so I'm not willing to just swallow your opinion as truth here either.

    Besides, if what you said were true, it wouldn't be in history manuals and there wouldn't be any museums dedicated to the events around that period.

     

    Then perhaps you should educate yourself on the topic of semiotics. What is important isn't the symbol per se, but the intent to which it is used to denote a certain meaning.

    In this case it can be argued that it's solely been used to demarcate itself from other bikers groups percieved as less hardcore and/or posers.

    Rules are to be enforced at the discretion of the authorities. You can't force them to actually enforce a rule as they have no obligation to do so. At least as far as APB:R goes, and we're only concerned with that.

    Admitedly, you could try to sue them for this in the state their servers are hosted, or in other states because their service is accessible from them.

    But are you really willing to go this far to prevent someone, whom means no ill, from using some symbolics with no intended hate behind them?

     

     

    While you're entirely right in that the conotation of those symbols (as opposed to the denotation) are admitedly of or akin to racist ideologies, taking it so seriously in the context of a biker avatar for a virtual online game is overblowing things way out of proportions. Especially since there is no harm intended and nobody actually bothered to report him and/or enforce the rules on him for a seven years period; esentially legitimising his claims that he isn't harmful.

    thank you for so eloquently defending me.

    blm calls for the murder and attacks on white and police= hate grp

    Antifa calls and carriers out attacks against conservatives and anyone not part of there echo chamber= hate grp

    the confederate states had black soldiers and was not completely about slavery ( northern sates still has slaves after the war) the civil war was about the government over stepping there bounds and trying to dictate every part of southern states law yes slavery was a big part of it(also not all slaves were black irish slaves were actually more common treated worse and cheaper but they are white as white can be so nobody want to talk about them)

    The line is drawn at displaying non-virtual hatred towards other races. Kind of like "88" in some contexts can be associated with Hitler (H being the 8th letter in the alphabet, the chant "Heil Hitler" consisting of two words starting with the letter H etc.). Presuming innocence of the numbers in conjunction with the term "curbstomp" is either gullibility or malevolence.

     

    Kunta Kinte is a character supposed to depict the fate shared by a large number of slaves taken from Africa - loss of freedom, fighting for oneself, remaining by one's values despite facing opposition etc.

    Black Panther - the superhero movie - deals with (and discusses) issues of identity and isolationism, both of them being directly tied to the issue of racism while not actually displaying racist values. It's one thing to talk about racism, it's another to actually express it. It's not that hard of an idea to comprehend.

     

    The only case where there's something wrong with "a Black Panther character" is if it concerns the Black Panther Party and/or the New Black Panther Party, both arguably being hate groups.

     

    Ah yes, calling those who take offense to your stunts "weak". That'll surely work.

    You entirely deserve getting banned for this kind of symbolism, especially considering this has been going on for seven years - a time when the ruling was still in place.

     

    Perhaps you do not comprehend why people take issue to symbols like the double lightning bolt referencing the Schutzstaffel (SS). It's a symbol that is literally associated with Nazi Germany - a regime responsible for literally the deadliest conflict in human history, with over 60 million people dead as a result of the Second World War. It is a black mark on the history of Germany, which even that country itself would rather forget and never allow such inhumane times to happen again.

    It's cute how you went for the "i'll just mirror the swastika and it's a peace symbol" approach, by the way. The Nazi Party literally started using it to try to force the association of good luck and auspiciousness with the Aryan race, which they perceived to be superior to every other race. As time went on, this created a social stigma, because the Western world after the world remembered the absolutely heinous shit the Nazis have done under that symbol.

     

    Yeah. So why do you insist on using racist symbolism if you're clearly against it?

     

    If the "biker culture" cannot exist without displaying symbols with racist/hateful meanings, then let it fucking die.

    im not against it I strongly believe people should have pride in were they come from and there culture im against double standards. u know they kind that promote BLM and Antifa as activist grps while the confederate flag was all but removed from American history for being "racist".... and not gonna lie im actually impressed with your knowledge of the Subtext of certain things and u say the line is drawn with non virtual hatred towards other races does that mean all the br players that bash America and Americans are also going to be banned.  and about the atrocities committed by hitler during war are no worse then how isis or any other Muslim extremist hate grp act today or how stallin acted in his regime or how the majority of chinas super power leaders or going even farther back the atrocities of Viking and highlanders... they promote a highlander clothing pack yet they would no murder and pillage entire villages. how can u come down on a single person or ideology while turning a blind eye to the rest of it. I can understand running around yelling racial slurs and attacking people for the color of there skin and harassing people is not ok. but to ban someone for bolts is ridiculous

    huh? I never mentioned anything about quantity I was simply saying you can substitute the racist ones to safer ones and still get the same outlaw-ish vibe on your costume.

    the fact u don't know the difference between a 1 piece patch and a 3 piece patch just further proves your dad isn't a biker ( a hint for u 1 piece patches aren't outlaw mc but just a mc much like car clubs)

    You're not being fair either. He didn't say hitler, but "anything to do with white pride or hitler". So that would include the toothbrush mustache, the name adolf, being born in austria, etc...

    Also I'm of the impression that the "black panther" he might be refering to might not be the comic hero eponymous to a recent movie.

    I'm getting mixed signal here.

    the black panthers im referring to are most definitely not the movie they are the black run hate grp that targeted and attacked whites in the 70s essential the black kkk. and racism is racism doesn't matter the color of your skin.

    You don't need racist symbols to be an outlaw biker. I don't understand the problem here. I know they are common in that community, my dad is a biker, but they aren't required. Just be creative and think about all the things that are allowed instead of what isn't. Make some boob/pinup symbols if you want shock value and use strong language. There are serveral safer ways of expressing similar vibes. 

    Being in hog or any mc with a 1 piece patch isn't a "biker" they are what bikers call yuppies.

    make an enf and try ltl u will immediately appreciate how bad ltl really are I know its frustrating to deal with but a stun gun takes 8 shot to stun and fastest a stun will happen is 1.05 seconds were as most lethal weapons will kill in .7 seconds and on top of getting the stun u have to then run your patootie all the way to them and hope to get the arrest off with out getting flanked or the more common option a team mate kills your stun

    seems to me like it would be obnoxiously easy to make an mc themed character without potentially racist symbols, unless you actually want racist symbols

    then you clearly have never been around outlaw mc. the back of the "cut"(the leather vest with the patch) is always a pair of ss bolts among other racially motivated symbols I grew up out law mc and used to be in one until it stopped being about family and brotherhood and just was about drugs and intimidation. and frankly were is the line drawn ive seen players named kuntakinta and black panther themed characters but the only thing blatantly stated against the rules are your typical anything to do with white pride or hitler is not allowed... I mean if it really comes down to it ill just flip them backwards and now its an hindu peace symbol even tho 99% of the world doesn't know the difference

    So I feel im going to regret this post because im drawing attention to details about my own character that have apparently flown under the radar for the last 7 years... as drawn to my attention from the nudity post .my character is outlaw mc themed and has certain symbols that may be seen as offensive but they are subtle and match the theme of both my character and the game. how can u have an all out nothing can be construed as racist in a game  sole based and designed around gang wars and vigilantes... for those that have never been apart of the life style most gangs and all mc clubs are racially biased and motivated

    @Ketog Seriously dude, if you don't think I deserved the win that's fine, I'm not sure I even think so myself either.

     

    But don't accuse me of cheating. I already posted the color codes. You can try them out yourself. I'll even help you out here and show you exactly what the color are ingame: IT8th38.jpg

     

    And yes, I did use premium to build my costume. I don't know about the other participants. But drop the stupid color discussion. I highly doubt I would've even qualified if they didn't think I followed the rules.

    I have a completely unbiased opinion because I didn't take part in the event or care about it but kinda funny how the red RIGHT next to the purple is the same color as the roses on the dress and the red on the arms yet the orange u have linked is the same color orange on the tiny patch on your arm. but please continue to try to argue that the 2 different shades of red and the one shade of orange are all the same color and further more the orange on your hems and the orange on your color bar aren't the same orange one is 3 shades lighter then the other

    Nobody said we were unappreciative lol.   These sort of issues need to be addressed because Im more than sure LO didnt intend for it to be like this and it was a simple oversight. 

    They haven't??? every single thing LO does they get nothing but flak for, don't do anything they are cash grabbing, try to rebalaence the game flamed and told they are destroying the game and shouldn't of changed anything. people beg for new content the rushed out a holiday event so u had something new to do and nothing but hate and bashing. you cant say your aren't unappreciative while turning around bashing every little thing the company does

    I got Waterfront done for pumpkins and just have Financial left but I'm going to do epidemic first for now until I can complete an assignment (and god I hope I get a few easy ones) and then whatever time I got left back to hunting pumpkins.

    surprisingly people are actually helpful in the dailys for the epidemic event like if u get a kill barrel holders hit up distric chat and someone will usually help u get it done
