As many people have already said, but needs to be repeated. If it is seen as commonplace to use ANY kind of derogatory language on a server, then some will use ANY derogatory language.  We already see it with the made-up word clanker. People use clanker in place of other slurs because "it's a fake slur." and it encourages people to be weirdos. Even if a majority of people vote that it has no meaning, it still will affect those who are uncomfortable with it.  What you show people is that YOU want to be hateful, and it's ok to do that here.

Update from idubbz 2016 edition that words do NOT have meaning so say as u wish

If I hear one more person say the C slur with a hard R, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind

*ahem*

CL*NK*R

All jokes aside, this is a really old game. More importantly, its a game. its not a job and its not the professional world. it is going to be ' a little edgy'. 

Now, does that mean you should slur in a mean way? no.


should we allow hate (especially racial)? no. In general, if the N word soft a is used in a friendly way (such as 'whats up, my [soft a]'), its edgier sure, but not offensive.
I am not familiar in a way where there is a version where cr*ck*r is/can be used in a friendly way but if it were, its just edgy, y'know?
now if you get RDM'd, and you write something to the effect of 'this dumb [c word] shot me face off [c word] ass bitch', that's the word being used in a non-friendly tone. see the difference?


tl/dr: context matters, and always follow the DBAD rule. If what you are going to say/write involves being mean or hurtful or hate filled, and especially if it contains a slur, then mabye you should not say it.
