Irony of not cursing in servers

[SGT.JOKER]

yeah just curse in voip, if you dont have voip just curse to your self, no real need to curse in the chat

[Bravodog]

Doesnt anybody feel like some servers are being slightly sarcastic or unreal when they dont allow cursing?

I mean off course it slips out and such and sometimes its the best way to let out our frustrations.

I understand that too much cursing will be annoying and that i can understand, but from time to time it should be allowed.

We are all adults, and if there are kids playing then theres this to think about. What is more damaging to a kid, a few curse words that are already common in most 8 year olds, or the fact that we are killing people in the game?

I really dont understand some people sometimes....

Im sorry but thats gotta be one of the stupidests things ive ever heard.

dont get me wrong, i completely understand what your saying but its like,

"well were already killing people why not add a few curse words"

Cursing and killing are two completely different things.

both are at times considerd wrong.

BludShoT;721854']If you were in some army unit stationed in iraq people would be swearing their faces off all the time...

That's probably true for any army..., except maybe the Salvation Army...

I doubt even the pr0n industry can rival the armed forces when it comes to dirty language...

The reason people want to type their swear words is because swearing has absolutely NO value if people around you don't know you're doing it. I mean you don't swear in your mind, you do it verbally because you WANT people to know you're swearing, and are upset. It's why I'll go "DAMNIT!" when I'm shot down by a tank or something, I WANT people to know that startled me and I hate the fact that I was killed, but instead of going "Gosh darnit guys he shot me down and now I am very displeased and startled by the fact that my death came without warning". I'll simply go "Damnit".

Think about it, Darnit says exactly the same thing as damnit.

[/QUOTE]They get all offended and stuff, but why? The word has no meaning for them, it had meaning 200 years ago but not anymore. It's also like how blacks call whites "peckerwoods" or "crackers". Those aren't offensive to me because they have no meaning TO ME. A random word with no meaning to me wont offend me, and EVERYONE should think this way, it would solve countless problems.[/QUOTE]


i Just wanted to point out colt, that if the word it self is not offensive, perhaps it's tone and intention is ment to be.... my experience in this community has shown me, the "gentalmen" of PR that chooses to use some of these "meaningless words" have less than popular racial veiws.

and as for cursing, i can take it to a point.. but somebodys right to curse, will not overpower my right's to not have to listen to it, and bounce you out of my squad and or server.

if you need to curse, feel free to do so, but perhaps just don't hit the transmit button. and who knows, maybe some of the impresionable children out there might not take up the habit.

End of the day: if the server admins say no swearing over text chat, that means you shouldn't swear over text chat. /debate.

They pay, you play. If you don't want to follow their rules, play elsewhere.

[Colt556]

Nicko, that's only what ignorant people say, honestly. It's not that people who swear can't think of alternatives, it's that those alternatives don't carry any substance. My principle told me to say "rubberbands" instead of "fuck". And it's like, you know what I'm saying. It's OBVIOUS I'm using a substitute for "fuck" but "rubberbands" or the more traditional "frick" just do NOT have the ...... power, I guess, that "fuck" has. Same with all the kiddy versions of swearing. "Darnit" "Dang" "Shoot". We all know what you mean, but those just seem... kiddy... and lame.

Also Avalon, I COMPLETELY agree. That's what I've been saying all my life. It doesn't matter WHAT you say, it matters HOW you say it. And that's why I despise ******** who get offended by swear words, or even racial slurs, just because of the word itself, not the tone in which it was used.


Infraction points given for language. Guess what, breaking forum rules to make a point is still breaking forum rules -M.

[Masaq]

This "*******" just gave you points for violating forum rules. Enjoy.


Oh, and it kinda proves my point - however you feel about swearing, you don't get out of the rules just because you personally don't have a problem with foul language.

[Colt556]

Like I said, kinda counter-productive to leave this sorta topic open if it's against the rules to swear. Since swearing is what this discussion is about.

[Masaq]

Let me see... EVERYONE else managed to discuss the merits (or otherwise) of swearing without making a post that included three uses of f-k, called other people a'holes and stated that in your opinion making racial slurs is perfectly acceptable. You, however, couldn't

So no, I don't have a problem with leaving this thread open. I have a problem with you posting gratuitous foul language in it - and I'm not even one of those ******** you referred to, given that I have no problem at all with foul language in its proper context. A forum that aims to be "family-friendly" to some degree isn't the right context.

sir i do beleive your are a little missguided here. not only dose it matter how you say something, but knowingly making a racist remark, knowing that it is offensive to most people that hear/read it is just poor judgment.
i get the feeling that in "the real world" you would get a rightfully earned beating uttering words like that around senstive company.
lets face it, these "well educated" people are only doing it due to the faceless internet age with little or no accountablity (at least in the pr community).
and as for (feel free to tag me here [R-MOD]) "small little hole from which smacktards come out" like me, disipte your attempt at a well written post, i my self have been called much worse by those much better than you.

Edit: There you're tagged Just refrain doing it on purpose the next time.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!

It's a right you have in the Free World

That's why I allow cursing on =HOG= servers, but racist remarks will not score you any brownie points, just a ban.

As a admin, if I had to ban every player that cursed on my servers, they would be nobody lefted to play the game. Just my 2 cents....

I agree with this. There should be a line drawn at excessive cursing, racial remarks and all the things of that sort but i dont see the problem in saying something like "That fu**ing tank over there needs to be put down". Sure you could argue one could say that without cursing but in many situations cursing is understandable.


After all, these words are part of our language.

[Rhino]

when it comes to racism it just crosses the line but getting banned for saying "arhhhh it i got shot out of the cockpit" is pretty gay....

**[R-DEV]Rhin0 you have been KICKED/BANNED, reason follows bellow....


Use of inappropriate language---the word "GAY"

[TheSkudDestroyer]

There's a difference between racism and swearing. Swearing at an enemy tank or something - not bad. Swearing at a fellow player - bad. Calling an enemy tank or something a racial slur - bad. Calling another player a racial slur - ban on just about every server ever.

[gclark03]

George Carlin would go insane if he heard some of the words we block on PR servers.

[ralfidude]

Wow guys, wow, lets not get into racism. That is not the point here. We all know that is innapropriate and that nobody should ever do it.

Oh and i also know that if server admins say no, then ok nomeans no and they pay for servers so thats understandable as well. Thats not the point here. Im not trying to raise a rally against it, im just saying that its just silly.

Also bravodog, its not completely out of context. I was making a comparison because its the irony i find here. Some people dont allow swearing because of the kids, others because they find it offensive, as if killing is not offensive in itself, the irony is there.

Also, dont swear here guys... i didnt know that the admin was gonna hand out negative points for this, lol, but try not to. (I thought this could be an exception), but Devs word is God, well here anyway.

Now if ul excuse me, i have a 9800GTX thats going to be delivered to my house any second now. So where the fu*k is that mailman?




(U see how i used that? Its an innocent and funny way of using the language that neither was a curse at the mail man, or myself, just a curse at the situation which we can all relate to, hehe) Anywho, i really do have that card coming so im gonna step outside and wait for it.
