Thread: P's and Q's All gamers read please..

Just reread this again ....

Now I have been around for a short while I have found the behaviour has improved a lot

You still get the odd profanity and I and others will politely ask for them to cease and desist - usually they do

So IMHO it is up to all of us to be the "police" in this situation - afterall for some, it is their second home - and not put the pressure back on the admins except in cases where the offender will not stop.

But what does get my goat is when a female player ( [TOB]Lady springs to mind ) joins and the swearing continues .... now if we are trying to attract players ( especially the female gender ) then we all need to be aware of mouths and typing and behave as if you were in a public place with other ( largely ) unknown people around.

what exactly are we classifying as swearing ??

because some words you use arent really swear words and besides some people use it out of thrustation.. lol

i rekon this rule should apply to abusive behaviour instead

Swearing, as another admin said - was how it is used - context. I don't mind the odd f*** or shit after a poor death, but when it is used excessively, then i cut in. Swearing at other players and admins is a no no, and for that you will be punished.

Everybody should know what is right and what isn't, if you don't, turn your computer off and go back to preschool

To put it into context ....

Swearing or using words deemed inappropriate - so like what you would not say to your mum or to a teacher at school or in a public place with other ( unknown ) people around.

Its a common sense thing .... no need to f*** and blind continually while palying CS ... sure the odd ffs or poop is OK and I mean very occassionally .... but continual streams of verbal abuse at all and sundry is a big no no and admins will kick/ban for this type of behaviour.

as any who know me from the wc3 servers (hey guys 8) ) whenever someone says any swear word i just hit mouse3 and it says language and MOST people apologise, but there are just those few that seem to think that just because someone isnt an admin they dont have to listen to their warnings..

i found it a little irritating like many find me but rules are rules and MUSt be followed. -grim is good with the language thing its teh funniest

can i just point out that CS has a ma rating on it, at least it says 15+ sumwhere, or is that just the sign at my local lan, i forget, but the essential point is that most people are at least a little mature and can handle giving and taking a little crap. i understand when it gets excessive, but i just hope that admins aint gonna get power hungry or nothing and handing out kicks, bans, perm bans like there's no tomorro.

that said, most of the admins ive played with are pretty cool aslong as u give em a bit of respect.

What i think they are getting at is, if you get killed for example, you can say, "Ahh F**k it", or FFS or the like, but if you go "F**k you piece of f**ken s**t im going kick the f**k outta you, you b**ch", then ur gonna get banned.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I interpret it.

any type of swearing, regardless of the context.
