Foul language

[Shuffler]

Yea Shuffler, I am sure the population of Aces High is down because of potty mouths 

Ever little bit hurts or helps.

And you're CM staff? Hitech is slumming.....If you have to cuss, go find a game that teens with filthy language habitate. Get out of a game that intelligent adults play.

I am not CM staff. I agree with those who believe folks should watch their language in game. Kids are in here.

Sunday evening about 9:30 I have a player call me and want's to complain about moderates because he just received the result of a 2 week mute by being reported.

Before I could begin to discuss the situation he threatens that he will then simply put something in is squad name complaining about the moderators. I don't think I have ever been so angry at a customer on the phone in the last 20 years. Because.

1. Its late Sunday, I'm enjoying a scotch watching TV.
2. I'm nice enough to answer the company phone in case a player cant get in for some reason (normally forgotten login).
3. Suddenly I have a player swearing at me on the phone.
3. I now have to go up stairs to my office and search the logs, find the reports and hence the player id.
4. Find all the entries I need to block him.
5. Go into the arena and type .eject

30 mins later he calls back  by this time I am calm and get to play the extremely over polite person on the phone.

Have you seen the O'Club?

If most people in the MA swear about everything and people who swear are not intelligent, how then is the MA a salon full of intelligence to which I should abstain?

"inhabit" is the word you were looking for.

Still, I think you miss my point Copprhead as I am not defending the poopy mouths but rather am criticizing those who have no cladding. Those who come here and complain about grown men who like war and cursing are petty, simple as that. It is embarrassing, especially when there is an ingenious tool at your disposal (.squelch and .report). We also have a developer that is willing to take customer service calls on weekend nights about seemingly anything. You have plenty of tools, is my point, use them instead of coming here to crusade for your morality and how much taller your horse is.

Like Private Gump, that is all I have to say about that.

I am usually pretty good about keeping my lid on.  Never thought of people playing with family in the room, I will try to be a little more mindful in the future on my part.   Good thread. <S>

Shuffler, I don't know how I quoted you, I was trying to quote purdue3, Perdweeb, who is CM staff. I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be any official tolerance. Yes there should be allowed the occasional word or two, with the F word being verboten at all times.

[TheBug]

Also please consider the cuss word itself.  Its constant overuse negates its power.

I snickered a bit as I knew you hit the wrong one.   .

SAME! this is almost as prevalent occurrence of the"Why you Ho me, thats impossible, "Obvious cheater", Dbag picker...I could go on. For some folk it seems, their LOVE of the game and their  BS out front....makes me wonder about their commitment to this game. Breaks my heart!
