The amount of spam this has turned into is becoming a nuisance. I have seen you in multiple servers spamming, now you are on the forums. Why don't you let Turbine or the streamer acquire his own fan base.

Also the fact his name is a direct capitalized initials of a white supremacy act is disturbing and reportable. Ya, he capitalized the THREE K's by mistake, and I was born last night. Racist.

My server was spammed at least hourly for this (from what I observed for the times that I was online and in /World).

I didn't notice the triple-K thing, but now that you mention it, I am bothered by it. At the very least, someone at Turbine showed very poor judgement in associating with this individual and allowing him to represent them in an official capacity.

Accusing a player? I believe all that was pointed out was a purposeful misspelling of the word Cool into the word Kool - which is then combined with a coincidental usage of an initial letter K followed by the name Kyle. Obviously there was no intention by the OP to capitalize an offensive, hateful and ignorant organization.

Get a clue ............

And, I doubt a forum mod wants to "be beast and put me in my place" for taking offense to a racially motivated name.

You are forcing your imterpretation to acuse a comunity member to have ties of some kind with that organization ..is rather serious difamation attempt

I am not forcing anyone to do anything. I merely pointed out facts. A reasonable person with an average amount of common sense can infer their own conclusion.

Nothing more subjective than "facts" presented as "commun sense " . So convinient .

I've been watching Kyle stream for some time. He is a very nice person and shouldn't suffer stupid allegations such as this. You people should probably watch before you pass judgement on something you are obviously clueless about.

Well, I took the liberty of reporting it to Twitch as hate speech/racism. As for Turbine empowering such a player? Well, that is a topic for another discussion. This has gone on long enough! If the community wanted to read spam about a streamer, we would join a twitch forum. The amount of posts this Charles guy gives in game, onto MULTIPLE servers is ridiculous.

Not to mention players are reporting false codes, and donations given with stolen paypal accounts just to get others to donate. All streamers are the exact same, they want YOU to pay their bills to play a game, and will stoop to the lowest level possible to achieve it.

Enough is enough.

But seriously, if you think the triple-K was accidentally chosen and has no correlation to any organization, then .... Oh wait, sorry ... the Prince of Nigeria is calling you. He has some wonderful news to relay to you about some money he recently has been holding for you.

In the meantime, I am going for a walk on on the beach here on my oceanfront Arizona property. Have a wonderful night.

Careful , don't sink in your gif ocean.

In the U.S, the letters K## stand for one thing and one thing only. It is no accident the 3 K's are capitalized.
I don't know if Kyle is a klansman or just likes the group or sympathizes with them or whatever, but there are people that will take offense to the letters whether he means them that way or not. Those 3 Ks represent hatred and bigotry and nothing else and there are people offended by them.


Besides the name I am tired of the spam. Once was enough.
There are other Lotro streams and videos to watch.

I did not notice the three K's, all capital until I read this post. I have since unsubscribed from his channel, and reported him to twitch as well. No way he did that without knowing. Thanks for bringing this up!

Turbine, you should be ashamed you even supported him. Racism, anyway you look at it.

my thoughts exactly

See, the problem with society today is everyone is quick to assume the worst in something and take offense without thinking about the other potential explanations. And in the court of social media, you are generally guilty. Regardless of whether or not you are innocent. Now, apparently this persons name is kyle, and they chose to change the C of cool into K. But when I saw the additional K, my first thought was hes going for a version of KoolKidKyle and for all you know, that version was taken as a user name. Same letter representation, very different meaning. Kool Kid is also used quite often.

Now, I don't know this person at all, I did get annoyed by spam but just because I see 3 Ks, doesn't mean I'm offended or thinking it has a devious intention behind it. Yes, a reasonable person with common sense infer that maybe this Kyle had nefarious intentions, but a reasonable person with common sense could also draw their conclusions that maybe this is a coincidence. Who actually knows?

I'm not familiar with the stream other than seeing it spammed in world chat, I just found this topic interesting. Sorry for the rant.
