So whats your definition of a slur? Unless you are providing my with an exhaustive list with 'slurs', how do you know what we mean when we say something. The English language is broad and can be interpreted in a multitude of ways.
Are you are suggesting all context and jargon be ignored? The simple fact is that the definition of a f4ggot is a bundle of sticks.
In the glorious country of australia the word c*nt can be used as a term of endearment between friends.
A guy said earlier in this thread: So I cant use the N word but people can say chink or cracker?
This is obviously a troll answer and I agree the N word should be banned 100%. However he actually makes a solid f*cking point. Where is the line drawn.
The current mod team at the time, myself included, agreed that HC should be stricted. He wanted us to ban people that used slurs actually, so all things considered...
I think none of the mods are ' bad people ' that's a ridiculous claim made by internet trolls. Heck togepi and jeff are probably among the nicest of people on epic mafia.
My only problem with the current moderation of this website in general, is the extreme and OTT sensitivity. This website is not for children and should not have some kind of censorship and restriction over free speech.
Why should we have to worry about getting banned for every opinion or in game thought. Its absolutely ridiculous how easily someone can be given community vios. Moderators complain about the ever increasing report numbers, however by handing out extremely soft vios, you are only encouraging the behaviour.
I want to call for some more right-wing thinking on our mod team. I appreciate and respect your left wing views but its getting to the point of complete ludicrousness. How can you make 'policies' and precedent for instant vios for certain words (regardless of intention or context).
I'd like people to remember this is the internet and an online game not a temple of righteousness. Get your heads out of your assess and let us have some fun. If mods want to regain the respect and support of the player base, then don't treat us like children.
I could collect from players hundreds vios that are absolutely a joke. You are not a judge in some pretentious law court who has to hand out a set sentence for a particular action. Use some common sense and discretion. If I call someone a slightly politically incorrect word in one of my hundreds of games, let it go. I can assure you that 90% of the time there is no maliciousness intended. However under the current regime, if im salty about a game i lose and someone calls me something only slightly worse than an 'idiot', I know I can probably report them and get them a HC vio.
To finish on a slightly uneducated note, like a true internet troll. Stop being nerds.
TBH if you guys think Jeff is gonna be a bad admin, why don't you let him prove himself LOL. If he is going to be as *terrible* as you guys say he is going to be, why not let him prove that? He has been admin BUT a day lmfao. So how about you give him a chance and if he is a good admin it will show, and if he isn't it will also show and he won't be admin anymore. I find it petty and illogical that he is said to be a bad admin when he has yes to do anything with his keys to the kingdom. But alas I am just one of his biased "DUFF friends" However, that is just a thought I leave you with lal
Vilden I literally commented on that report that you quoted that Dreamquakes deserved the violation bud. But, she is my friend so I couldn't moderate it.....
