Clarification was needed and here it is. This ought to make the forums a lot more bearable to read, as the predictable replies of spam and deliberate pointless swearing in this thread proves.
In response to comments comparing swearing to the game's content, this may not answer your point directly but why should swearing be required to get your point across?
I may or may not agree with the censorship but I have no problem with it and I don't see why anyone should.
-Rob- ~ Names and forum posts are and have always been different hun. no overt flaming in names, nothing that can be seen as offensive, and nothing racist. simple eh?
and no Itachi, no form of the words... stars, leaving out letters, transposing letters, all will get you warned and possibly banned for it
Sometimes we are forced to be nanny like wouldnt you say? ...
Swearing AT some one yes... i agree this is wrong but swearing in diffrent manners.... ( cant use examples anymore) should be ok, cos it wont offend any one.
Or change the games terms of service and remove the "if easily offended DO NOT play" and change it "Suitable for +3 years old".... because other wise its a bit hypocritical to make a game off drugs crimes half naked picture contests on competitions yet ban swearing.
Just my 2 cents. But perhaps a vote on it would be good, the last vote very few cared about it, so i still dont see why this has been enforced really.
Agree all you like, and argue all you want, its not changing, and if you do stray across the line dont be surprised by the warning youll receive, or the forum ban in some cases
and play at your own risk shouldnt be made out to mean 'avoid the forums for risk of having to read overhormonalized teenagers that feel they have to punctuate every other sentence with a curseword so they look big and bad for their online mates. '
if you cant converse without it in an online game, how do you manage to do so irl?
but different people have different tolerances of what they consider to be swearing, my grandma always used to tell me that bloody when used in the wrong way but some would not agree with that, your list should say what we cant say not what we can say.
damn thats hella cool
i mean im one that likes to swear but i try to remember that there are younger people playin this game...but for all the people who dont care bite my shiny metal ass
i used all 3 swear words i can
lol @ shaggy. at least you stayed on topic with it?
Razed- if it used in the manner of one, it will be edited and the player that used it will be warned.
tho.. tbh? the majority of americans dont use that, and most ppl from the UK dont even consider it swearing Oo so i dont see a prob to begin with on it..
im just saying different people have a different tolerance and may consider ass damn or hell to be more offensive that other word if your going to ban one surely they should all be banned.
again, sigs are a different area.. this is concerning posts in forums only.
and Itachi, i didnt send the warning, have removed it and on behalf of the staff than sent it, sorry. they were a lil overeager, and thought they were doin the right thing hun.
I dont want to say anything about the rules because I know nothing will be changed, well at least by now.
But, giving out warnings for asking to get some clarifications here is just plain damn ass.
