Ok
It has come to the point that the Administration staff have to act.

The language and abuse both typed and said now on the servers really does not portray the community servers in a light, that we lke..

Several long term members here, and a whole swag of newer ones are in our sights.

From now, U get 1 warning, then a kick, try it again, have a 2 hour ban..

U dont want the next level.

Keep it clean from now on please everyone..

worse is when they feed you to the Eater

and u dont want that :twisted: :shock: :(

Post 3

Yeah c'mon guys for f__k sake :P

Post 4

Yeah I also will be looking out for this "immature behaviour" aswell..
I will warn you once and nomatter who you are and there will be no escape from my wrath..

Consider this a warning..

Post 5

can we have a rating level for this??
are we talking nun rating (kicked for saying bum)
or are we talking night patrol rating (i.e "your mother is a f*ckin sl*t c*nt who f*cks chickens)
or is it perhaps somewhere in the middle??
is it f's and c's or sh*ts and d*ckheads :P
and really, you are running around trying to shoot POLICE TYPE PEOPLE, in the HEAD
are we really gonna be worried about a little norty language, you are supposed to be desensitised :P

Post 6

Put it this way there is not going to be a rating its going to be for the Admins discretion i believe..

You get a warning first so from that you should be able to get the point of what we will accept or not.. And if your so daft not to be able to get the point from the warning then you will be kicked that might help you out..

Btw that wasn't directed at you Harb :D just saying in general..

Post 7

You know where a little swearing is accepted, its all good fun and games, and you also know what's considered excessive, unnecessary or immature. If you can't tell the difference, the admins will remind you, fail to take in that warning.... and as Cornelius would say, "Goodbye".

Tonight was a good example..

ZeReaper was sh!tting anf Fscking a bit over the mic chat..

So I admin Tsayed to watch his language..
Straight away he appologised for it, but in voice and typed.. And refrained from doing it again..

That wipes the slate clean..

But if he had of kept on I would have no hesitation in kicking him. And then admin_ban 120 'ing him..

And gentle reader, that includes you..

Yes I admit I was responsible for a small ipece of profanity last night. I would just like to apologise to the comunity and any other gamers that felt discomforted by my actions or were offended by it. I am a soldier in the australian army and we do have fairly bad language at work but that is no excuse and I sincerely apologise. The reason I was so pissed off was (DNC)Wortel was continually shooting me while we were on the same time, and while he only shot me once each time, a deagle to the head on FF does 70 damage so I was quite annoyed, but I am not using this as an excuse as I understand that I must accept responsibility for my actions :)

Cheerio All

Ask him to stop, making sure the admins can hear your request.

If he continues, ask again. If you have to keep doing it the admins are sure to step in.

Post 11

OMG ZeReaper was that u?
I must say i am pleased to see you being straight forward and to the point without complete arrogance showing through :)
Excellent
Oh and side note
FF team killing will be that same punishment as swearing and such
Warning then kick :)

Post 12

The thing was I was never killed, just injured so was not at full health, I did attempt a vote kick and it succeeded but not enough yes' for a kick, so there was nothing else I could do

Post 13

Lee.. U should have told me about it instead of venting..

If someone, irrespective of who it is, get enjoyment out of hurting their team mates..

I will return the favour. As will any admin..

Post 14

This is good to see.. And Lee congrats on some maturity......

I began this little quest by the admins to start another sweep of the servers... When you become concerned about having your speakers on when there are children in the house. Or you think that newbies would be getting annoyed, you know it is time for a change.....

This is another Admin with his eyes and ears open... problem is you may not know I am on......

Post 15

Lol, maybe in between all my swearing and abuse I forgot to mention Wortels name so no one knew who I was abusing, lol will do next time!

Post 16

Please do.. If U are having a frustrating time just trying to play on the servers and have fun.. Talk to a admin.. We are there for everyones benefit..

Even if there isnt a well known name playing, ask as if there was.. As if a admin is observing the game without wishing to have his presence known, they can still act..

Post 17

[quote="Sly_Fox"]Talk to a admin.. [quote]

OMG YOU N00B
It's TALK TO A"N" ADMIN

U call me a noob ??

U cant even quote properly..

*winks*

Post 19

LOL Neither can you by the looks of it, must be a fault in the system!

Post 20

Thats only because of an odd number of [/quote]'s, originally caused by you Reaper ;)

Post 21

thus spake the HTML god :P

Post 22

....

i've really gotta start reading the other forums...

well, i can see this is a good thing for Octa. haven't played much, and am i glad that OD and Anga didn't kick me for constantly attacking them...

yes it was an accident. mainly because i can't tell the difference between the t's and the ct's :cry:

anyway, good to see :)

Post 23

Picture this........My brother and I are playing CS on my L33T PC and SUPA FAST Connection on Internoob and some NZ servers. After pwning our fill of ghey LPB's we decide to have a look on Server 2.

We play for a while and thi is what happens. (See pictures below)

Post 24

I'm very sure somewhere that's one of the reasons we have registered servers, to stop that sort of things happening.

Post 25

Heh now I'm sure I'm one of the main reasons for the spawn of this thread. I apologise about it. There were reasons behind why I was but I'd prefer to keep that to myself. I don't swear that much anymore. I think I learned my lesson.

What I'd like to know, is am I permanently Llama'd on some maps? Because sometimes I just log onto a server and I'm automatically Llama'd, or on a map change I'll be Llama'd. It's quite frustrating (being Llama'd just make me wanna swear more.... and thus, doesn't solve a problem), and I'd just like to know yea.

Then again, could you guys just send me al ist of banned words on the server via ICQ (#54965100) or my e-mail (mr_freshwater@hotmail.com), that way I'll know if I've said something wrong.

Post 26

as far as i know there is no AutoLLama but im not a server god so there could be

Post 27

Hi

I am new to this forum but have played on your server quite often

I use the odd "ffs" etc - but usually pull my head in when told to do so

I also take exception to the continual verbal and typed abuse

It is usually from the losing team and directed at the better players

So more power to the admins to control this ...

Another point - what about the people who play those annoying little tunes while trying to sneak around and hear footsteps etc ?

Are they subject to kiks etc ?

TopGun

No fancy signature

Post 28

annoying tunes?? Half life sound selector??

in this case just mute the player in question.

press TAB then click there name to mute.

this will stop them from playing the tunes.

Post 29

Thanx for the tip - often wondered how people muted others

I am an old newbie fart - 45

Oops I hope "fart" isnt a banned word ?

Post 30

anytime.

cheers

Post 31

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.

Post 32

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

Post 33

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

Post 34

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.

Post 35

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..

Post 36

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

Post 37

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.

Post 38

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. :)

Post 39

any type of swearing, regardless of the context.
