Racist Slur

  I need to report an incident from earlier today  and would like to know how to proceed.  A racist slur was used against me today during game setup.  In the chat box the player stated that   ----------------- were not welcome to play.   When I asked what a ___________ was, he said that I was one and then disconnected from the game.

  This is surely  not an isolated incident, so if others have had similar experiences, there may be a need to look into this.  I have chosen not to name the player (yet) until I see what kind of feedback is prompted by this message.

  Thanks

  I have had the same slurs, once the players see my avatar and country of residence. It's no big deal, but I still need to draw a deep breath, politely say goodbye, and remember who it was who used the epithet.

  Slep, I wouldn't name the offender here if I were you. It's the messenger who gets shot on here not the despicable racist. I have learned that from personal experience. Your future posts will be moderated while the 'classy lady' or male racists are free to post their bile and evil ad neauseum and without censure. The Yak

  Whoever thinks that they are better than another based on color is beyond ignorant.
