Am I the first to say that getting kicked and banned for simply swearing in a server is downright stupid, or what?

Server owners believe it's right to keep swearing to the minimum as there may be young players taking a part in the game, but I believe things have gone too far. I don't think it matters who the servers belong to because there's no harm in using logic. You now get kicked for simply saying "wtf" - it doesn't matter what the context is, you will still receive a stupid warning, or a kick, for simply saying "wtf."

It's understandable to remove racist players from the server, or those who are being too offensive to the point it's annoying and displeasing to everyone, but even those who say "fcuk!" after they die are punished for swearing (in a non-offensive manner).

If server owners are laying down such strict rules on swearing because of younger children, they need a reality check. There is nothing worse than killing someone in our society.. that means that swearing isn't nearly as bad as killing. We're playing a game rated T for Teen, so it isn't our job to worry about younger children playing the game. There is a rating people are supposed to respect. One joins a server and expects violence, killing, destroying, etc. What's wrong with a little swearing? Swearing is by no means anywhere as bad as all the other things we do in this video game, so why the strict rules? If you expect all sorts of violence when playing this game, people swearing should look like a joke... Yet it's taken more seriously than retards PT killing on sniper servers, retards exploiting glitches or us 1337 clanwars.cc players team hampering.

Can't this community stop treating its players like little kids? Can those stupid morons who run the servers use some common sense and let people flame eachother? This game is about having fun, is it not? With all the stupid rules layed down, I find it's hard to have fun. You can't even insult someone without some gayass bot bitchin' at you.

Anyways, I think that my solution to this problem = MODERATORS. There a billion retards looking for attention, looking for authority in this game. Let PEOPLE moderate the servers, not a bot that kicks you after you say the F word three times. I mean, this would improve server activity, people would have more fun, you wouldn't have to worry about getting kicked for a dumbass reason.. Like honestly, with more than a few mods in every server there wouldn't be a problem. Those mods would kick those who are really causing trouble, and let those who say "wtf" every time they die play peacefully.

If you can virtually kill someone on this game, I don't think some virtual insults are gonna do much harm.

Change your stupid rules,

Thanks!
