Hey everyone...I just wanna say that I have been playing on your server alot, and I was surprised at some of the goings-on in regards to what is considered "unacceptable language"
I do not have a filthy mouth, nor do I feel the need to break your no profanity rule, but I have to say that I was surprised when someone on your server stated "{ADMIN EDIT: OBSCENITY DELETED}" which means something quite nasty, and nobody said anything. Note that there was an -=Of-God=- admin present. A minute later i stated "{ADMIN EDIT: BLASPHEMY DELETED}" and 3 people scolded me for saying it. In the next game, I said "{ADMIN EDIT: PROFANE EUPHEMISM DELETED}" and an admin told me to watch my expressions. I am not saying that I am perfect but some things are just not right. All I ask is that a little more attention be payed to the severity of offensive words. Goodbye

Hey Dan Welcome to the forums!
Anyway. The first offense is very profane and I would most likly kick that person for it. It is entirly possible however that no -=Of-God=- or regular server attendee saw this offense and therefore could not warn the offender. If you want to help us nab him, take a ss and pm it to server admin so that we can handle it.
Your best bet is to say what you are gonna type in you head and if you think that it is acceptable by our rules, type it in to chat. That way, you are not in danger of any offenses.
Hope this helps.
Andrew

As Music said, as best as we try to hold our rules. We cant always get the people, but with visitors on our server can help us always. When you can, always get a screenshot and send it to Peace.

For starters, read this thread -- I think that you'll find that your mouth isn't as clean as you think it is, Dan. We do uphold a very high standard on our server -- but as mentioned above, admins can't see everything (particularly if it's in TeamSay and they're on the other side -- or if they're alive and the player who swears is dead). Had that expression been seen, that player would have instantly been removed and banned. In the same way -- if I had a screenshot of that first expression that you said above that you used on our server, you also would be sitting on our banlist right now, along with over 1,500 other people who did not feel the need to control their tongues/fingers and keep them from speaking evil.

Can I just add the notion that what someone "supposedly" said(the God blasphemy) isn't that much different from what you stated you said, both here on the forum and in our server?
Technically, both you and that person who used the God blasphemy should have been kicked.

Not sure if this is the same incident Dan, but this afternoon (sometime before 3)I witnessed such an incident and got a screenshot of it. I had a minor technical difficulty that prevented me taking immediate action and when I looked for the offending player he was gone and I figured an admin had taken care of it. He would have been in our private MBL submissions by tonight. In fact, the only reason he isn't there yet is because I had to leave the house suddenly and I am writing this post first since I have now returned home.

Well thanks for clearing that up, I appreciate it very much. And as to Peace's comment about me being banned, I have to let you know that an Of God did say something to me about it but did not mention banning me...I should also apologise to you, because I am a Christian but I did not consider what I said to be bad, because I have always thought that it was okay...I do not wish to be banned from your server. I have to mention that drawing the line between unnacceptable and what is should be made a little clearer on your server (just a suggestion) mainly because I, along with most people (Christian or Non-Christian) probably do not know what a Euphamism or w/e is lol Anyways, as we are always learning, I would like to thank the admin who warned me about my expressions, and for all of you Of-God's for giving me such a positive response to this thread. And as for me, I will control my tongue God Bless

To be honest if you don't know what eupharism is maybe you should go look it up befor going to play ona server that does not allow them. A dictionary is a great way to increase your vocabulary and will help you stay out of messes like that in the future.
