Someone is using this name...Really please delete that account in game. I cant tolerate this. AN insane person that is reponsible for the murder of so many ppl........
As I told the guy that Im offended, he called me a poor jew...
Rassist sucks...
Username Adolf_hitler
Hmm, tricky one.
Ok, to start with: that's not racist. That's religionist (or whatever the word would be).
Next: although it's tasteless, and more than slightly weird, there's nothing wrong with calling yourself Adolf Hitler. For all we know that's actually his name. Unlikely, but possible. Consider someone called Charlie Manson, or Bob Mussolini, or Johnny Bin Laden. For all we know, they're legitimate names. If he called himself "All Tall People Suck" (for "Tall" insert racial and/or religious identifier of your choice) you'd have a point. As it is, that's just a name.
Next: while all of the above's true, someone using Jew as a term of abuse is indeed in breach of the code of conduct. Please email details to abuse@theuniversal.net as it says in the code. Where, when, exactly what was said, and proof if possible (eg a screenshot). Chances are a warning will come first. Repeated offences, sure, the person'll be banned.

could also tell the world owner or a god etc on the world it happened on so they can watch out for him and ban him if needed.
might be faster and more effective then e-mailing the abuse e-mail since in some cases, the staff that monitor the abuse e-mail have no power on the worlds and wont do a gamewide ban except for in serious cases
please continue to email abuse@theuniversal.net and staff will contact world owners on your behalf. this is essential in order to monitor events that are happening on multiple worlds... thanks magicfinger
plus, the world owner could look in chat logs to see that it actually happened if you diden't get a pic and see if it was a one time thing or a constant thing that the player does.
on a side note, different people find different things offensive, so that must be takin into account. i was kinda displeased when i saw the guy on sabrada a while back, but since i don't play on the world (because i run it) and no players complained i diden't feel the need to do anything and pretty much ignored it.

Since I am a German i might be more sensitive to this. I think it's a shame to use this name. How would someone feel that whole family got murdered in the holocaust? Would u like to see Adolf Hitler in ur top ten on this website?
It was on ZIon i asw him....and well I called him an idiot....and he told me my family and I could work in his factories and sniff some gas.....
Imagine that MY whole family got killed how would i feel about it?

as previously stated if you feel a breach of the code of conduct has occured email abuse@theuniversal.net and we will look into it.
Ok: after reading the Code more carefully (thanks Ali :) it seems that using such a name is in fact against our rules. Sorry for not noticing that earlier.
We'll ask this person to change their name. If we can't get in touch with them they'll be banned.
If you have any trouble with this in the future, please email abuse@ and we'll sort it out if we can.
Thanks,
