Minecraft Name: UnitedStates2002 Suggestion: Change the enforcement of swearing rules, allowing swearing as long as it's not directed at someone or in excess. Reason: I seriously don't see why staff have to warn players for mild non-excessive vulgarities that aren't directed at people. Any Other Information: N/A Link To This Plugin: N/A
However in the rules, it states: Occasional mild to moderate vulgarities that are not directed at anyone (such as "slip-ups" or saying them in the incorrect chat by accident), self-censorship of a swear word or abbreviations that may imply a swear word (eg. WTF?) are allowed unless it is directed at another user.
-1 while I'm sure some people like me are not offended or bothered by these words (I hear them everyday at school lol) there are young kids on ECC, some who rarely hear these kinds of words. Their parents don't want them exposed to them or using them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Knears got warned for saying "Oh shit I forgot to do my homework" Mods aren't enforcing the rules right.
Then I think that might be where the issue is, not necessarily in the rule itself. Plus, it could be an accumulation of notes over time.
This wasn't so much as to what he said but more of who said it. Kind of what TrueStud said, this user has a history of swearing so it's not an isolated incedent. Personally I think swearing of any kind, regardless of whether or not it's directed at anyone, should be outright abolished. There's no such thing as a slip-up or accidentally swearing in chat, in order for you to swear in chat, you would have to first think about it, decide that it's a good idea, type it out, remind yourself that it's a good idea, and then send it. Talking in global and talking in minecraft chat are not the same and should not be treated the same. If you wouldn't say it to your grandmother, you shouldn't be saying it here. The fact is that there are a lot of young kids on here and prohibiting vulgarity would not be solely to protect their innocence and to censor them from reality, as I'm aware is not practical, but instead to give them an example of how to behave and interact. Players that constantly curse and use profanity are of no use to them and anyone else on ECC. /rant
For every person that doesn't care about swearing there is someone who does. The way it is now is fine.
