Managing a multi-cultural community of sailors worldwide is not easy.
This forum is an example.
In Tacticat all messaging is recorded and we also have the video of many races, that help us Tacticat Admins to deal with abusive behaviour.
We try to be very strict about using gross language because many users are children, opti sailors, and we can't afford words that might be acceptable in other environments:
-Admins (senior users) will 'mute' any sailor misbehaving and
-A profanity filter checks all messages looking for offensive, racist or gross terms to block them before broadcasting to sailors
But no system is perfect and every now and then a sailor has to be banned. He/she usually asks for readmission and things get back to normal.
So, OliLaser, I'm sorry you felt harrased. As you know everything is recorded (even the filtered messages): if you kindly tell me your tacticat name I'll check all messages to know what went wrong.
Please accept my apologies in advance.
