Cursing on the servers.....

It has come to my attention by some students, that it is ok to curse at people, just as long as you dont spell the word out. Ex: "You stupid a$s"

That is NOT acceptable. As the rules state, alittle cursing is ok, but not at anyone. Ex: "Damn, I wish I could do that combo correctley" I believe that is ok. So, just keep it clean. :)

I son't think swearing affects kids, but the academy servers are a place of respect. Swear at people on the pubs. Not here please.

Indeed, Khalek. No offense, but I don't really care, nor take extra consideration to 8 year olds. The reason I don't run around swearing my a** off (damn....), is simple; it's impolite. That's what you must remember; not that there are someone very young here, but that it's normal decency to not swear all the time.

*Cannot resist mocking Jacen's self-attacking humour* :P

Naah. If you think Jacen is ...um....nailed?....then you should listen to some of the players out there...I think this thread is on similar grounds to Vlads post about the general behaviour in the JA at the mo.

I got told to 'lighten up for once' last night when I mentioned the language problem.
LMAO....I'd never met the guy/lass before....dearydearyme....:)

Regardless of our personal opinions of swearing (I agree with Jacen...psychologically, it is parental actions being linked to swearing that is FAR more detrimental ;) ) I think all good people here would agree with me in saying that just because I believe that swearing isn't that bad doesn't mean I will force others to listen to my verbosity, LOL

I won't swear badly in front of others, not because they may be a 8 yr old but because they may not want me to..it's as simple as that.

So I'll be a good boy :D

Ah, but I would also say, if they don't hear it here, they hear it in school.

I've grown up with my Dad's constant swearing (as well as about every other adult, swearing isn't exactly a terrible offense here), yet it hasn't screwed me up (if you comment that, I swear, I will hurt you.... :P).

In my opinion, kids won't get harmed by some swearing. Of course that doesn't you can go around saying "f**k u n00b" to everyone, but still, it might not be as damaging as some seem to think.

I disagree Jace with allowing some people to curse once in awhile.....Because, we do have some younger kids here. There are 8 yr olds in the JA (believe it or not *looks over his shoulder at Doobie* :P) I dont want to know that I let someone poison the mind of a younger kid :P

Indeed, Talle. Those who enjoy swearing and doing FFAs will probably leave when they see how well-behaved we are (or at least most of us). :)

The burst of swearing is due to there is alot of new people in the academy. The arrival of Jk3 is the cause of this, but dont worry the new people will learn the rules. The ones who dont will probably leave on their own.

Imo, a rule against 'damn' would be plain ridicolous (sp?). That word is way too normal to ban. It's not even like it's 'bad', as "f*ck" would be.

I also think we should be careful with being too aggressive on the swearing. I don't see much of a problem if you once in a while say "f^ck this", as long as it's somewhat rare, and that you don't direct it at a certain person.

Yeah, I agree with SS. Although, to me, I think its ok for someone to say "Damn" just as long as its not AT someone. Although, I dont see why people cant just do like me and say Darn....

Edit: Even on the JK2 Servers, I have seen some pretty unbelieveable swearing latley, like, every other word a guy says is a curse sometimes.....

What the *&^% are you ##@^$&#^ talking about *bleep*? I mean, *&$^&!!!! :D

Edited to add: How does a curse "slip" out? It seems pretty hard for that to happen when it is typed...IMO.

Pretty much we don't want any swearing period. We should make a rule that states no swearing, but if it slips, theres only a one warning rule.

The servers are WAY out of control. The laming and cursing going on is nuts! I feel like im on a public server all the time. Everything will be better once a mod is released or some admin granted. :D

DS-> If every person who said 'damn' should be warned, the whole Academy would be banned by now. ;)

I used the word "damn" after falling into lava for the fifth time and outing my frustration. I hope that's okay. :)

Yeah, a little bit is expected. But guys, dont drop F bombs or use racial/homophobic slurs. That is NEVER acceptable, and is a bannable offense. I'm not accusing anyone, just letting everyone know. That is all.
