    Would this be considered a bannable offense?

    Hey guys. So, I've been spamming in trade for 3s partners, but most of the players who tend to whisper me are arabs or eastern european.
    So here's my issue; I really hate arabs and eastern europeans. Whenever you're on skype with an arab, they're in their living room, which has 3 different televisions (probably got some "whocanhavethehighestvolume-contest going?) and an awful lot of background noise. Eastern europeans, their mentality is just fucked up. I honestly havent met a nice Ukranian or Estonian person yet, and I'd be lying if I said I havent had my share of eastern european partners.

    So, would I be able to replace my '/2 2.6k warrior LF decent 3v3 teammates' with '/2 2.6k warrior LF 3s team, no arabs or eastern europeans' - without having my account suspended tomorrow?

    It's probably best to keep your racism to yourself.

    It's not about race, it's just that I do not like the arab/eastern european culture and mentality. - I dont mind the colour of their skin or the 0.3% genetic difference.

    no u wont u can choose to play with whomever you want. you are not insulting people you simply choose not to play with them. it not ban-able because you are not doing anything wrong you are not name calling nor insulting you simply picking and choose with whom you play with.

    ps. i am Ukranian and i am nice...to some people...whom i like...and usually tell people they are shit when they die to stupid shit and/or stand in fire...so unless you are terrible in arenas we would normally have no reason to be an ass...unless you are terrible then we will prolly make you cry...true story

    Maybe it would be a better idea to advertise for people in or around your country, citing "Time zone issues". But really, don't stereotype

    Surely location means place of origin? Facts says hi.

    Racism is not just discrimination by the color of your skin, its also stereotypical generalizations like the one you do on your OP. If someone reports you, you will probably get banned, this post will prob get locked and they might ban you here as well.

    Google the name Whitera.

    He's an awesome Ukrainian. OPs point is therefore invalid.

    And yes, you would be banned. For good reason.

    No, location means location. Place of origin means place of origin.
    I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

    While I agree completely with your reasoning in that I prefer players from other parts of the world I think the message is a bit too flammable for the trade chat. I'd just ask people where they're from if I get whisps and ignore them if they're from an undesirable location.

    I'd just do the opposite and ask for Western Europe people. Far less negative message

    My point exactly, maybe I should've included <sarcasm></sarcasm> to be sure. As you can see the person I quoted implied that my place of origin is Finland due to my location.

    I think "hate" is a strong word for the fact some people have issues that annoy you

    You might well get a ban for that possibly, if someone takes offense and tickets you. Better just to ask for Scandanavians only (most people will assume it's a language thing ^^) or just screen people as they /w you, and turn down people who you don't want to team with.

    On an interesting stereotypical note... I have never met a finnish raider who wasn't very dead pan serious 100% of the time xD I'm sure thats just my personal experience though rather than an accurate picture.
