Server owners believe it's right to keep swearing to the minimum
Can those stupid morons who run the servers use some common sense and let people flame eachother?
|
key word OWNERS, they own the servers, they pay for them, they provide them to fucktards like you free of charge, they make the rules that THEY want - If you want to make the rules go host a server.
Stupid Morons?? Comon Sense?? there is no common sense to people flaming each other and insulting the people who provide you with a FREE gaming experience is not clever - you sir are a fucking idiot.

I thought up the idea of a mod for people who are religo-nutsoid some days ago. It goes where Nod and GDI don't actually shoot eachother. They can go and sit down in like the GDI barracks and just type to eachother. No punching, no shooting, least of all NO SWEARING. They can go on tour rides in APCs and perhaps even share humvees and buggies together. They could maybe walk down the beach on islands and get a cool tan. I mean seriously WOULDN'T IT BE SO MUCH FUN?! Who needs violence in video games? (physical/verbal) WE CAN ALL JUST MOSEY ALONG AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME HOLDING HANDS. Because VIOLENCE people is BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD. I think every no-swearing server should put this mod in and it will bring peace.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Boomer, why not just host your own server where this terrible injustice doesn't happen? If you're right, you'll have lots of traffic (I can't think of a better word), surely?

haha @ guy who said thing about overpASS
haha <3 de7
and spoony you know i wont do that so why even say it. i barely ever play on public servers, but i know id play more if the rules werent so stupid. why is keeping swearing to the minimum such a high priority and stopping team hampering and all that shit not?
it makes no sense. i fully understand that there are people who pay for these servers and are entitled to their own rules, but why should that mean that we should just simply follow their stupidity? im sure no one would have a problem in changing their servers in order to make the community happier & just basically.. better. people dont host their own servers just for themselves. they also do it because they feel it would make the community happier (or well thats how i would feel).
we dont have to ask them to change everything in an offensive way like syaing "K UR GAY, UR RULES R GAY CHANGED THEM CUZ UR GAY" -- there can easily be a mature way of changing everything.
and if u think that the way things now r fine then well, i think u should read de7's post cuz he's made a very valid point.

It's your duty to read the rules of a server before connecting to it.
If you're in disagreement with those rules, don't connect.

Agreed. It is completely up to the server owner what the rules are. If you don't like the rules, tough, play on another server.

^-- I agree with both of them. The rules should not be excessively strict, as this is a Teen-rated game with a disclaimer of "Experience may change during online play". However, certain words/phrases indeed go over the line, and those who use them deserve to be warned/(q)kicked/banned for a day.

While obviously people who pay for servers are under no obligation to anyone, I've always failed to see how preventing me from saying "shit" really improves anyone's experience. I also hate the servers where some tard and I will start flaming each other and the mods get mad and threaten to ban us both. Fuck. I enjoy fighting with idiots while I play Renegade. To me that's fun. And it's pretty annoying when some self-righteous 15-year-old moderator gets a boner from kicking you for "OMF BE NIEC LOL".

Scope, you already posted this about a month ago. Do you really have nothing else to talk about?
Yes, it's stupid, but what can you do? People with rules like that have their heads up their asses. Take the UNRULES server, for example.
So, what can you do? You do everything in your power to get banned, just in case you have a craving to play at stupid servers like that, and then you laugh about it behind their backs.

I don't remember posting about this before, but if I did that doesn't matter.
It's so gay how so many of you are fine with this. I can't believe you'd rather leave things as they are. All you need is a bunch of people complaining to the server owners and things will change
Thank god we still have people like mrp and de7 here

For the record, as you can see that I don't filter swearing (only racism) here, I carry that same rule in my server (n00bstories). Swearing is allowed, racist insults are not. There are a few other servers like that. My advice to you is to find the servers that allow it and play on them.
I know that children WILL hear all the colorful swear words well before they're old enough to use them. It's good parenting that wins in the end, not trying to shield your children from the horrors of words.
I'm the bawss.

I hate the motherfuckers who don't have enough self-control to NOT do a simple action like click onto a server that has strict language rules. All they accomplish is making the moderators even more convinced that they banned a blithering moron.
When I join a game, I don't see it as a place to exercise my right to free speech. I go around killing the other team and blowing up buildings. I use the chat only when I need to, like when a fully-loaded APC comes barrelling over the bridge on City_Flying or a stank tries to hide behind a building. Chatting is only 10-15% of the game, but when people are denied 10 words out of over a million in the English language they treat it more seriously than it deserves. Even if I didn't agree with the rules (ex. banning for "hell" or "damn" or something mild), getting myself banned ultimately equals 1 less server to play on.
In short, it's leave or shut up.

What you've proven is that you, just like the server owner, have an opinion regarding what is acceptible and what isn't.
Since it's their server, their opinion wins.
|
Hmm
My opinion is the same as everyone elas I like to think, if not then there is something wrong with you.
Being racist is not acceptable anywhere anytime.
Verbal abuse against someone is also not socially acceptable.
You should always honour an mother, to make a joke against someones mother is to make a joke against yours, if you have no respect for theirs, then you dont respect yours.
Failing to comply with these three simple things, will lead to you getting fucked over.
Other then that am happy with people swearing, aslong you dont over do it, there are standards.

This about getting kicked for saying bad words in game. I'd just like to know the community's real opinion behind kicking people for swearing in a violent video game.
In my opinion, one shouldn't be kicked for swearing in a violent video game.
Renegade is a violent video game, as you constantly kill & destroy people and buildings or vehicles, and well, according to the law killing is a much greater offence than swearing. If I was to get mad while playing Renegade, it'd be because somebody killed me, not because someone swore at me. I just don't understand how server owners promote violence (I say this because if they didn't promote violence they wouldn't have servers up to give people access to virtual killings), and are entirely against swearing. If you can virtually kill someone, why can't you virtually swear at someone? And not only that, most Internet games are rated T for Teen, right? If you were to have a certain rule in your server (like if you swear you get kicked) because there's a chance that a little kid is playing the game, well, that isn't your responsibility. An 8 year old technically isn't even allowed to play the game so it's safe to assume that everybody in your server is okay with swearing. Anyways, let's face it, swearing is part of every teen's vocabulary, and this community is made up of teens for the most part.
So, what do you guys think? Should you be able to virtually kill and virtually swear, or virtually kill and not virtually swear?
