Nobody thus far has mentioned that Renegade comes with a "Bad language filter". If you don't like the language, throw the filter on, and relax behind your veil of censorship. Don't infringe on other people's freedom of speech. And yes, it's freedom of speech, as cheesy as it sounds.

I had this problem with a Call Of Duty server I used to play on. Their excuse was that young kids are playing on their servers. For those of you that don't know, Call Of Duty is a fairly violent WWII shooter. YOUNG KIDS HAVE NO BUSINESS PLAYING VIOLENT GAMES. IF YOU AS A PARENT ARE OKAY WITH YOUR KID WATCHING THE VIOLENCE BUT NOT THE LANGAUGE, DON'T LET HIM OR HER PLAY. If you think the answer is in servers with special rules like "No cussing", then you are a BAD PARENT AND A BAD PERSON.

If you're a server owner and you kick/ban/heckle people for cussing, you're a BAD PERSON. If you don't like cussing, fine. Don't cuss. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT OVER WHAT OTHERS SAY OR DON'T SAY. "But it's my server!", you cry. People aren't cussing from your server, they're cussing from their own client machine. If you don't like cussing being recorded on your logs or whatever, edit the logs.

A word is a word is a word, and cussing is no different. So why do people cuss? Because it's familiar and comfortable for them. It has nothing to do with the "power" of the word.

People fail to realize that as much right as you do to not like cussing, other people have every right to run their mouth off. Consider this situation: You're in public with your kids when some people by you start cussing. What are you going to do? Warn them? Ban them? Call the police? The fact remains that you have no power over what other people do or say, so long as it falls withen legal limits, and cussing is WELL within legal limits. So again, what do you do? The answer is you walk away, because there's nothing else you can do.


In conclusion; a big FUCK YOU to language-strict server owners. The fact is that I keep going back to Jelly and n00bstories is that they base running of their servers on COMMON SENSE, not on bible-thumper dogma.
