Well, if you think that way then maybe sc2mafia is not for you. We here are generally tolerant to any kind behavior except for pedophilia, gamethrowing and spamming. Those 3 are the big no no's. Don't worry though. The more you play the game, the more you will get over it and just accept that its part of sc2mafia

[QUOTE=LagAttack;925199]I quickly wrote some python code to parse the 373 games I have played in since returning to SC2Mafia.
For simplicity I just calculated usages of the n-word - since almost every player that thinks racism is fun uses that slur often
For each player I played with I calculated:
[LIST]
[*] The number of games I've played with them
[*] The number of games in which they used the slur
[*] The total number of times they used the slur
[/LIST]
And for each game I counted the number of times the slur was used in the game.
Here are the results:
[SIZE=3][B]Game Statistics[/B][/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] 62.2% (232/373) games do not have the slur in them at all
[*] 90.8% (339/373) games have the slur used 4 or less times in total among all players over the course of the game
[*] Only 4.3% (16/373) games have the slur used more than 10 times in total
[/LIST]
[SIZE=3][B]Player Statistics[/B][/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] 89.4% (693/775) of the players I've played with have literally NEVER used the word
[*] 96.0% (744/775) of the players have used the word only 4 times or less over ALL games I've played with them
[*] That bottom of the barrel 4.0% contributes 93.9% (1491/1588 ) of the usages of the word
[*] When you filter out players whom I've played less than 5 games with, there are only 14 players who have used the word more than 10 times
[*] These 14 "regulars" contribute 67.6% (1074/1588 ) of the usages usages of the word
[/LIST]
Now this was just looking at a single (albeit by far the most common) slur - but all manners of slurs likely follow a very similar distribution.
[B][SIZE=4]SC2 Mafia's racism problems are NOT due to a [I]widespread[/I] problem with the "culture" of the game. The problems are NOT due to new players or infrequent players that use the game as a playground to grief. The problems are created and perpetuated by a very small but [I]very[/I] vocal group of regular players that push the idea that using slurs and casual racism is okay. It's not.[/SIZE][/B]
I've seen these people claim that "everyone" uses slurs or racism in mafia - so fighting the problem isn't possible. That's simply not true. The group that contribute the large majority of the problem isn't even large enough to fill a full 15 player lobby.[/QUOTE]
It wasn't really a problem until you made it a problem. Good job
