Anyone else find this offensive?

I think it's a little offensive, though I'm not sure about the context of the word "nignogs" Either way it's crude.

No, and by acknowledging it you lose.&nbsp;

As far as I was aware "nig nog" meant a silly person, something akin to "nothing in the nogin". A quick search on the etymology of it shows that this meaning is dated and was also very local, in modern days it is used as a derogative term in reference to people with dark skin. Or, alternatively, a seasonal drink. Whether one finds it offensive or not depends entirely on ones tempers, but personally I'd consider it at least inappropriate for a public listing.

Not at all offensive. At least not for me. What I find sad is that you'd go through campaign listings and report those with names you dislike.&nbsp;

The person who wrote it probably didn't know the name implied any sort of offensive term. I had no idea for I have never heard it before.

I don't think it merits censorship from the list, but it's something I'd never call a black guy.

I thought it was the name of a tribe of goblins actually.

Nignog via Urban Dictionary: This phrase has absolutely _no_ racial dimension, despite appearances. It is a Northern British (e.g. Yorkshire) term referring to a silly person. It does not derive from nigger and should not be considered racist at all. Tha cawn't even spell thi own name -th'art a bluddy nig nog It's a British term. While I most certainly don't agree with how Europeans are dealing with Muslim immigrants, I wouldn't call them racist for saying something like this that has a non-racial defined meaning. The PC police need to cool their jets.

Its not offensive as much as any word. Noggin is slang for head. "You have a problem with your Noggin if you find that offensive" for example.

Here's a quote on being offended by Stephen Fry himself.

I love that meme.

So by their own admission if the OP does not understand the context of a word or phrase it offends them.&nbsp; The OP has actually done the community a service.&nbsp; Now I know not to ask them to play in one of my games.

I understand that maybe the use of the word "offensive" might have been incorrect, I'm just saying, is it really appropriate to say things like: "Playing&nbsp; Whenever the group stops sniffing shit." As a playing time. Or using terms that "might" be racially insensitive in the title of a listing? More importantly it's in the top listings, I didn't seek it out to report it, simply want the community's input/opinion on the matter. Thanks for clearing that out, where I'm from there's an abundance of racial diversity, but language is limited to English and Spanish so it's difficult to tell when something is a real word, an offensive word, or just something someone made up due to lack of education.

Angel, welcome to the&nbsp;Internets. Perhaps I stated it with too much brevity before, the Stephen Fry meme reiterates the point a bit more&nbsp;callously, but the point is when you let people trying to offend you, offend you, you are playing their game and losing. There is an old saying, sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me, it's older than my mom as far as I know. Maybe Asaram can get us some&nbsp;etymological love on the phrase, lawl.&nbsp;

I mean, the forum is probably full of&nbsp;under-aged&nbsp;kids with rage issues and no parental supervision. I was checking to see how far they would take it. I guess there's no point in continuing now that you've stated the obvious.

....wow... talk about searching for something to complain about. Bored much? So, nignog is basically a mixed up misspelling of noggin. As for the N word, the original definition was Ignorant . But I do believe that the campaign poster should clean up it's fowl mouth grammar in public listings.

The main reason has been stated before and it is only to get a reaction from someone so don't give them the satisfaction of reacting. Children or &nbsp;people acting child like generally get tired of doing something when they don't get a reaction for others.

Back in the 70s and early 80s Nig-Nog in British English was used by some sections of society to refer to black people. So depending on where you come from it can be a bit 'inappropriate'. My response? 'meh'.

Where I'm from the phrase has always been offensive. Don't get me wrong I'm not upset or whining, indeed I'm not certain Steven Fry is the arbitrator of what is wrong and right. What I am doing is pointing out that the word when used round our way was an old fashioned even childish way for people in an old colonial power to refer collectively to those black people who live in the once colonies and were coming over here now. It often though not always was said with ignorance to the implied ridicule and&nbsp; collective treatment of fellow humans. It is from the same sad school as TinTin in the Congo. It certainly is bad manners so the question perhaps should be does roll 20 belive it should expect a level of good manners or not. Not for me to decide but listings such as this won't help roll 20s image. The original poster is also perhaps right to question where the line is drawn. If this is OK what about a campaign usiong significantly harder language?
