There are childish bigots everywhere, SL included. Just find another sandbox, there are lots of them.

Could cite intolerance for the use of the "n" word in an AR.
As for being booted and banned, unfortunately whoever owns the land (or people put in place to manage it with permissions) can ban/boot whoever they wish for no reason at all. It is wrong moraly, but within the law of the TOS unfortunately. Sorry this happened to you. Find another sandbox and move on. _____________________

You could go there with a human avatar. Clearly the proprietor of this sim does not want furries on his/her land.

Abuse Report them for intolerance, indecency (use of the Nword) and watch them get banned. Then find another sandbox to hang out in, where people aren't jerks.
I reccommend FurNation's sandboxes. _____________________

"no fur-niggers aloud".
Ah, I see the problem. Furries are allowed in, but only if they are quiet. _____________________

Welcome to SL, Mushroom. Most people are friendly, and if you run into an unfriendly one just go somewhere else.

Hmm I more took it, dark furred avatars weren't allowed, but other colors might be ok. Please post the LM so us other furries can find out which colors are acceptable. _____________________

Perhaps he really meant to type "foreigners", but he has Jumpman's keyboard skills. The "aloud" misspelling seems to support this...

It's just 4chan speak for furries in general and has absolutely nothing to do with the OPs skin colour. It's a reference to a post made ages ago by some whingeing furry about being "fursecuted" and how furries should be treated like an ethnic group, and how making fun of furries is the same as the slave trade and the holocaust. There's a whole Encyclopedia Dramatica article about it.
Personally I don't blame them. People should be able to engage in whatever sexual degeneracy they like on their own land - but I certainly wouldn't want them to on mine. _____________________

If they want to have a fur free sim that's fine by me but to use a discrimatory term like niggers is showing their attitudes or RL racism. Being called a furry doesn't bother me at all, but being called a nigger is a racist disrespectful term used to label dark skinned people across the globe. _____________________

They simply use words like that because most people would object to it. Puerile, I know - but that's just who they are. |

/me points at NCI Kuula.... There's a nice sandbox there. Furries, babyfurs, robots, steampunks, nekos, and lolis allowed. Humans need to show ID. (^_^)y

I only wish they were dumb enough to try that in RL and get their face punched in sometime ![]() Anyway, they may not have a sandbox in SL much longer anyway after a few dozen racial intolerance AR's. Please do post a LM for this wonderful place ![]() _____________________

You AR them for using that 'n' word. I like the idea of tons of furry avatars descending upon them,lol. Think of all the AR's with copy & pasted Chat history included. Talk about your doofus head cases that own/run that sandbox.
Go to the sandbox at IBM sim, no discrimination there. And most of the sandboxes I've been to are the same, open to all as long as you follow the rules of courtesy. |

Also check to make sure it was someone from the group that owns the land responsible.
Being a sandbox means there's a possibility it was an unconnected griefer using certain tools to move you away from the sandbox. Either way AR whoever it was ![]() |

If your friend specifically knows and hangs out in this sandbox, you could have him/her contact the admin group/owner of the sandbox and hear if this is official policy, or if somebody needs to be kicked out of the admin group for being way out of line.
Most sandboxes I know of would revoke the admin rights of anybody behaving like that, and indeed the owners of the sandbox may be grateful to be informed if they have a bad apple in the admin team. |
