After seeing countless discussions on other forums regarding the use of the word “lynch” in Forum Mafia, we have decided it’s best to make a public announcement on this topic.
All Moderators and Hosts will be replacing the word “lynch” with an alternative, and we strongly suggest that other players do the same. Our reasoning for this is that the word “lynch” has racial connotations that (understandably) make some players uncomfortable, and we want our community to be as welcoming as possible.
We will NOT be punishing players for continuing the use of this word in the context of Forum Mafia.
Our recommended replacements are:
- Cuddle
- Execute (shortened = exe)
- Eliminate (shortened = elim)
- Kill
- Exile
- Banish
Some community favorites are:
- Jettison
- Yeet
- Cuddle
Moderators favorite:
- Cuddle
We ask that you take this into consideration while playing on our forums, and be understanding of the decision we have made. Replacement words can be suggested below. Go bonkers - but stay within the Global Rules!
Cordially,
i42 forum Moderation Team
