Wish I could have responded 1st.....no one cares if you dont like the word raped, I suppose we could pass a law in the united states banning free speach, and then you might be happy.

Shmuck, for instance could be the next word with a negative  cona,,,conitation.<-------?

Plenty of people care apparently, and this isn't a democracy, it's a private business. HTC would be the final judge on what's appropriate and what's not.

The mention was made that many of the abusers seem to be in the younger set, the adults have to be in charge. Moderate away if you see fit, the potty mouth aspect adds nothing to the game for anyone really. It may make the internet teen tuff guy feel like he's projecting a bigger online persona, but it does so at some detriment to others.

Could you please say this to me when you actually shoot my cartoon aircraft down/blow up my cartoon ground vehicle.   Seriously, please try to remember my request.   My "response" will be well worth it.   

Don't hesitate to try it angels, I pwned Karaya in the DA hardcore, even filmed it and posted it.  He isn't hard to beat.

Ive noticed its kids who are playing when their parents aren't in the room, or its people who think they need to prove they're tough to total strangers over the internet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is coming from the same guy who argued that the k4 is one of the easiest planes to fly and dogfight in, I rest my case.

Now first let me correct you, I didn't say it was one of the easiest, I said it was comparatively easy.

Second, how does that claim have any bearing on a topic such as this?

I agree, it's usually kids who use this foul language, and I'm not complaining about bad language in general. I've had more than my fair share of drunk pilots swearing on vox. I'm fine with that. I am simply asking that people try to refrain from using one particular word. For those of you who have had someone close to you sexually assaulted, having that word become a 'cool' word, used by kids who think it makes them seem tough is a rather upsetting thing.

Guys, serenity is not trying to revoke your freedom of speech or piss you off, hes just asking to try and control yourselves while typing. Swear all you want just dont type it of press F12 or T.
I mean im pretty sure serenity has sworn b4 and will use em again but he just does not want some people getting offended by words or picking up new words cuz some kids bud on AH who has a score of 38 said it so it must be cool

man, what level of pettiness has this community stooped down to that people worry about such inconsequential banter in a game.

And I bet that they're gonna be the final Judge on when Waldren gets PNG'd  :noid

I got a pop up box only once in my years on AH...

It was for a comment about Carrot top's sexual preference and Rosie O'Donald's agreement. It was over the top, it was meant in jest but I know I overstepped the bounds of taste and I apologized on 200 to the Moderator and everyone who was on at the time (even if it was funny as heck).

I think the last mute I got was for making fun of I think CMustard when he really ticked me off... I did go over the line though. Sorry for those who did see that :/

Some words in particular offend people. What is so bad about asking them to refrain from using them? Im sure if I used a racial slur you all would be on top of me screaming for a PNG.

I've fought him in DA once before...  :rolleyes:

Course, I got drawn into the awful world of picking, so he'll probably win both times next go around.
