I could probably type an essay before most of the people on a team gets to a thousand points
Oderint, dum metuant.
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

If you can't handle a fuck you n00b every now and then you shouldn't be playing a game that you kill people in. If your a server owner and you can't see that then you shouldn't be a server owner. Also, if the word fuck does offend you then you need to come out from under your rock and get something serious to worry about.
|
It is the server owner's choice, if they what to kick you from the game because you can't control your language its their choice.
|
I never said it wasn't. What I was trying to say was the stupidity of that choice.

If you are on the internet you already know most if not all cuss words, so I say FUCK YOU! To any server who kicks for that, I can see if you get out of hand with it but... Come on thats fucking stupid.

We don't like swearing in our server due to the wide age range of people that play in it. If you feel the need to fill the world with your words then do so verbally at home but don't blather it out infront of everyone. If you want to chat you can actually talk, there is no need to start cursing and swearing your face off for no reason. It is a bad habit and something not worth your time.
I use warnings on our server and it is a fair system. 3 warnings and you earn yourself a qkick. Keep it up and it will kick or even ban you. You also get a warning forgiven every four hours so everyday is almost a new day.

So in your server do you prevent mass murder as well? Are your players not allowed to shoot at each other or blow things up? Do they have to keep that at home as well? To say swearing is bad but violance is ok is fucking retarded.

The nerve of some people... I'm trying to demolish buildings and mass slaughter my sworn enemies and someone dares to fill up my screen with CURSE WORDS.
We don't let people get out of hand with verbal abuse or anything... we just don't shit ourselves when someone wants to sprinkle their conversation with fucking swear words.
I'm the bawss.

Imitation violence and real-life swearing are two completely different levels. (I would agree if it were comparing real-life violence and real-life swearing)
One is imitation, not to mention the whole point behind playing the game in the first place. You purchase the game knowing the violence will occur.
I, for one, applaud those servers who take a stand against it. There is nothing wrong with allowing people to swear (I help administer N00bstories, and they allow it), but to complain because servers disallow it is, well, retarded in itself.
Say to yourself "Oh no! They won't let me swear!" and see how irrelevant it actually is.
Simply put, if you're not allowed to swear, then don't. It won't kill you to stay silent or change what you would say. Or, don't play there if being unable to swear is going to ruin your experience like that.

I think the point was already brought up that we know that server owners can do what the fuck they like. Think the point of this thread, if it has one, is to know why it would make sense to disallow swearing if the supposed reason for it is because of younger children who are exposed to the violence this game presents. I don't know. Maybe parents think that if they tell children that it's important not to swear, that it's ok not to teach kids the difference between reality and real life

I have no problem respecting someone's rules but I'm just horrible at watching my fucking mouth. I work in an office with adults and we all swear. I live at home with two adult guys and we swear. I am very rarely around children so I don't give a shit what words I say almost all of the time. Pretty much every time I'm on a moderated server, I get warned or kicked.
Another problem is, where's the fucking line? Is "ass" allowed? Is "hell" allowed" Is "damn" allowed? These are generally considered "less" bad than words like "fuck" and "shit". Then there are other words that are even more questionable like "gay" and "fag". I stay away from those servers because I don't have time to fucking check every word I fucking type to make sure I didn't say something that might get me a warning.
I'm the bawss.
