Name Change is in Order
 

As a Jew who is proud of my heritage, I find the name incredibly offensive and I'm surprised that GMs have tolerated it until now.

You guys are hard-working, dedicated, and try to run your server justly. Do you really want to be remembered as the people who tolerated this kind of racism on your server?

To which name are you referring? Project, 1999, or Red?

Holocaust

The word holocaust means:

If it was <The Holocaust>, I'd be more inclined to agree.

Why do you think their name refers to Jews?

Hey Nilbog,

Thanks for responding so quickly.

According to dictionary.com, The word "co*n" means "a rustic or undignified person" and "fag*ot" means "a bundle of sticks."

If we follow your logic, people can create a guild named "Co*n Killers" or "Fag*ot Burners."

Most people associate the words "co*n" and "fag*ot" with prejudice. Most people associate "holocaust" with "The Holocaust." Anyone making claims to the contrary probably has a vested interest in that disassociation, i.e. is a member of said guild. Moreover, a cursory review of this thread will make it clear that the members of said guild are evidently racist and using the word with a racist meaning, even if a few them make claims to the contrary.

Moreover, to emphasize the obvious association between "holocaust" and "The Holocaust," just google the word "holocaust."

Good luck finding an entry that doesn't deal with "The Holocaust." Let me know what page you get to before you find it.

Changing their guild name has minor consequences for them, but if you leave it as is, you risk offending an entire demographic. We're talking about the integrity of the server here. I'm surprised something hasn't been done already.

There is legitimate literary use of the word outside of WWII. That is the intent it is used here, the guild is not a bunch of neo-nazis spamming ooc with racial epitaphs all day.
