Hello.
Since my wife an I changed our flag to reflect our change of residency (France to Guadeloupe), we have had some racist issues.
During a particular game, my wife had been insulted by two players, in a way that had left some trauma to her, and a really sour taste in my mouth.
While I usually appreciate the way BGA handles missbehaviour issues, I'm really unhappy in this case, as one player had no apparent sanction and the other had a week long ban (and that even might be for completly different reasons). Those insults were in French, by French players and we also live in France, so French law applies.
As a game chat is a public place, I believe racist insults in chats are punishable by 1st July 1972 law "relative à la lutte contre le racisme" and "loi Gayssot" from 13th July 1990. An association like "SOS Racisme" can be "partie civile" in this case.
At the current moment it doesn't seem possible to get a chat log if you're not a moderator. I perfectly understand reasons behind that. I also perfectly understand that moderators are human beings and might not have had time to treat this case (it happened roughly a week ago) or might simply miss or judge differently some logs. However in this case, I'd be willing to take a court action if nothing happened.
How can I get a chat log without having to resort to such extreme actions ? What is your moderation policy regarding offenses punishable by law ? In cases of acts punishable by prison in local juridictions, I feel not reporting your moderation decision to the victims is really unfair.
