    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main City Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Reconsider cursing rules
    What are you suggesting:
    I was playing with a friend of mine and I just feel like the moderators are just so hard on cursing we both actually found it annoying as it happened. I think we need to loosen up.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Cussing really doesn't matter anymore. It's the internet, free speech is a thing, and the Minecraft population is generally aging upwards.

    Some players (like him) are used to more "free" video games. The fact they can't curse is a huge turn off. The other stuff I can explain away, but the cursing is just like a big "what the heck." If it's less of a rule, it's less risqué.
    Other information:
    The issue in question is with cursing being "directed at someone" but honestly if people are in a fight, which literally never happens, and it escalates to that point we should say "keep this in private" or something. The issue is less to do with the cursing, and more to do with the actual fight. Yet they'll be banned for cursing.
    Plugin or custom addition:

    -1 We did this before and people just swore constantly because they could. Chat became toxic. We are "family friendly."

    Then we have a maturity problem, not a swearing problem. We should definitely handle swearing when it results from immaturity, it's annoying.

    Rules are difficult to enforce at all unless there is a clear line in the sand. Moderators' views on maturity will differ. Players may feel misunderstood or unfairly treated. I think it is for the best if players express a modicum of self control and don't curse.

    I don’t really like it when members of the community curse at each other, and by making it legal, it would result in more complaints. I remember back when it was legal and chat was not a nice place to be.

    Nowadays I hardly see complaints filed for chat fights, and I feel like a reason for this is because of stricter rules enforced by staff.

    Cursing at each other (in my opinion) does nothing but escalate the fight. In the rare case that you really want to curse at your friend, I recommend just PM’ing them and going from there.

    TLDR; it will cause more harm than good.

    That's definitely valid.

    Being said, we literally sound like noobs to some people some times and it hurts our retention. It's similar to not being able to place water.

    Users are currently able to use swear words but not direct them at other users. If you cant control yourself and not swear at other users then idk what to tell ya. -1

    You are allowed to say fuck/shit/bitch, just not direct it at others.
    As well /ch vip - it's anything goes.

    @STAFF-01 Moderator once again take note.
