Thing is if you would swear out loud in voice, your mummy would probably come up and tell you to stop doing that because you're making yourself ridiculous. I can tell you: it is even more ridiculous when you do not say anything but click f2, type "fuck" and hit enter.
Congrats Crimson on that one, btw... Encourage swearing on your server... just as smart as deleting the whole banlist without even making a selection. Nothing personal though.

I shall resist correcting your abysmal spelling and grammar for the time being to call attention to what an idiot you truly are.
First of all, if all swearing does is waste one’s time then why have you gone to the equally “troublesome” extent of filtering it on your server? And “nobody says you can’t swear”? Remind me again that key rule of your server. I believe it is “no swearing” right?
Second, we are not just on about in-game swearing, it’s swearing in the chat lobbies etc. Like it’s been stated above, how pathetically stupid is it that you’d let a 12 year old play a game portraying guns, bombs and killing yet you’d have the sheer audacity to question a swear filter on such a game. Not to mention the fact that every 12-year-old and his dog swears these days.
“Mummy telling you off for swearing”? That has to be one of the most absurd and laughable arguments I have ever heard. Not only is it something I’d expect from a 12 year old with personal experience, I would have thought you, with your astonishing level of arrogance, could at least come up with something better than that.
And finally. Who the fuck are you to question Crimson? (*shiver* Noes! I said the f word!)
I don’t see you working to improve the renegade community. Even if you did, the extent to which you would try would be nothing in comparison. Crimson haves reasons for doing what she does, and boy do arrogant, obnoxious little fucks like you irritate me to high heaven when you question what the people trying to save Renegade are doing.
And that added touch on the end. “Nothing personal”... Words can’t express how that made me feel towards your substantial level of pure egotism.
fuck off and die

^I think BHS Should have control over the server. They have contributed many things, such as Core Patch 1, Renguard, and users (such as myself) support others in #bhs_support daily (well, we try!). Also, Strike Team/Xwis have admitted to not knowing much about Renegade, or about the community. So are they going to learn all about the history of Renegade in 2 weeks? I would wish them luck, but all of the luck in the world couldn't help you with that.

*agrees*
BHS should really have the chance to handle it...

I try not to swear too much...aside from the occasional "Oh fuuuuuuuck me!" when I do something particularly stupid and get killed for it. Or "Shut the holy flying fuck up!" to a spammer. Oh, and maybe "hit the fucking gas!" when the APC driver won't move...

Believe me, if I could let everyone hear me say FUCK! when I typeit out in game, I would. I would call them up personally and say FUCK! right in their ear.
Speaking of wasting time, your whole post was a waste. I have a feeling that by extension you are a waste, because this has nothing to do with the topic at hand yet you keep bringing it up.

This topic isn't about swearing. Please don't take it off tracks, this is really important.
I think it's good that EA is giving up WOL, they really don't have support, as we've all seen. And, it's of course good that they don't just shut it down, they're actually handing it over to someone!
But, are XWIS/Strike Team to be trusted etc.? I say yes.
Do they have the same kind of know-how as BHS? Sure, they know a lot about other C&C games, but about Renegade, I doubt it.
So, in short:
Good thing someone gets WOL, though it would be EVEN BETTER if it was BHS.
Crimson, Mac, Blazer and others! I hope you guys get as much control over this as possible, because I know you can do it!

DaveGMM wrote on Fri, 07 October 2005 18:55 | I only really have one problem with this - the swear filter. Bear with me, I have a point.
Was just in the RA2 lobby. Said the word "fuck". I now find I'm banned for 15 minutes from chatting because of this. Now if the game didn't have an inbuilt "Bar Bad Language" filter, there wouldn't be a problem with this.
While this is a small thing, it brings for me a larger problem. This means that we are at the mercy of a moderation standard by people who would be unaccountable for their behaviour. I don't mind not swearing, it's not like I can't survive without it, but my point is that they should be doing things the EA way - and to my knowledge, they didn't ban people for swearing, they filtered it client side.
But hey. I can't really do anything about it.
|
actually, they DID ban people for swearing. in fact, if i remember correctly it was 24 hours. they even used to ban for the word "idiot" until it was complained about(by me after the only ban i had ever gotten)

Deathgod wrote on Fri, 07 October 2005 19:34 | I didn't sign any agreements to censor my language when I joined up, so there's no reason I shouldn't be able to swear if I feel like it. It should be a client side option to turn on the filter if people feel the need to use it.
|
yes, you did. it was in the user eula that you electronically signed when you installed the games.

i do.
i know my children hear it, that doesn't mean i condone it. and when others are swearing in front of my children i let them know it isn't acceptable.

tell me this team that is taking over the online aspects of the c&c games isn't just a team of 2!
