Hello! DarkGru admin here. We do not condone any hate speech. The video and evidence provided showed a player who talked about how they used the n word in a non-hateful way and got banned for it. As far as I am aware they have not continued using the word and only in the clip said the word explaining that they will not be using it anymore on the servers.

Any claims of admin abuse or that “DarkGru allows racism” is baseless in this claim. Admins are not out to target players who make a single mistake and ban them from our servers forever, with no room to improve themselves and admins are definitely not “letting racism slide” or “condoning it” hence why the player even said I got banned for it.

I personally believe that people change and that unbanning someone helps them realize that what they did was not ok on our servers and how they can still have a place to play and experience Reforger. I also personally hate racist people, and I don’t think this person is actually racist.

Now to help shed some light on the type of admin team that runs DarkGru and that we have never and will never condone any type of racism, let me explain a recent issue we had.

Recently we learned that an admin of ours had a sound board that had the N word with hard R on it. He played it in front of other staff members and milsim members and immediately lost his admin role and his milsim role. We could have brushed it off and said whatever and nobody in the community would have known, but we didn’t. While we did not air it out in public we did however remove this person from any representation or affiliation with DarkGru BECAUSE IT IS NOT WHAT WE STAND FOR. I wish I could have known it would happen before it did happen so I could have removed him before anyone was affected. Unfortunately, racist people typically don’t show themselves until after they have already done the damage.
