TheNotoriousFNG Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I'll throw my 2 cents in here... Years ago, I was on a fairly popular '46 server. I remember getting into this fairly nice furball at about 1500 meters, I manuevered on to the tail of one bandit when suddenly I exploded...evidently I had either rammed or been hit by a friendly. I immediately apologized in chat and spawned again. Rather than forgive and forget, the individual I hit called me an idiot and told me I was attempting to steal his kill. For the next 15 minutes, this guy and a buddy followed me from base to base shooting me or ramming me. I eventually logged off, filed a complaint on the server website. Needless to say, I never went back. I get that it's hard being a server admin and I'll rarely blame the admins for what happens on a server as this is a hobby, not a job so you can't be on it 24/7. That's why I feel it's up to the player base to discourage inappropriate behavior and the devs/plugins to help us with policing it. I, for one, don't hate the language as I don't mind a little playful trash talking. What I don't tolerate is racism or continual belittling...it's meant for fun, so take some time to relax and cool off if you're getting frustrated. Mutter a couple curses if you have to...just keep it out of the chat, as there's no need, IMO. I think a plugin that kicked over certain phrases would be nice. "____ is a f*g" is worthy of a kick but "brb, gonna smoke a f*g" isn't. Though one would hope that players who utilize that slang would be mindful of it!
Vex Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Racism, bigotry and swearing has no place on a public server, ever.
Yakdriver Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) I wonder if the stupidity and futility of certain people have a limit. In his little world of wonders, report abusive behavior means being snitch . It tells me that this person has eben caught with his pants down, and can not take responsibility for his actions - he rather keep insutling others, questioning others (snitch/integrity) instead of questioning himself. Now i DO know, a CFS is not the same as a session at your local therapist...! But if i were him, and two pages of forum talk were spawned by my behavior, then i would ask myself if my past behavior was any good - or if i should change that behavior. Bottom line: there are DuuuUUUuuuUUUumb people out there. do not expect sanity. edit: emphasize "dumb*. add george carlin picture just for the lolz Edited March 18, 2015 by Yakdriver 2
