Rarely does a person get kicked for bad language. Everyone slips (although, how difficult is it to tell yourself NOT to type?), instead, it is usually the come-backer. We warn about language and then out come the insults and taunting. This is our house, none of the MOB family should have to put up with abuse in our house. From my experience, this is a well-understood concept on the MOB servers. If you are beligerent towards a MOB member, you most likely will be kicked. In fact, it is so well understood, I often have regulars telling the offender "good bye" and then they jump on me if I **DON'T** kick the offender!
When it comes to language, I'm far from a prude when playing by myself, but I've been sensitized by my fellow MOB members who often play with their young kids (or have kids and a wife near enough to hear the language over Vent). MOB is a family. Sometimes the adults are off on their own, and other times the kids are in the room. Most MOB members know when these times are. Regular visitors might not know that the kids are playing. I have a simple keybind to remind people when **I know** kids are on board. This may not appear to be consistent (especially if we have a MOB member or Regs Member swearing a blue streak), but there is often reason behind the madness. Oh You obviously didn't taunt this time and he innocently missed the warning. DG kicked for a short period of time. She and Oh You have discussed it. End of story. |

I think there is something to be said here, though. In the rules it is stated that while we are not "G" rated, we do ask that the language (bad) be kept to a minimum. That statement would assume that all players have good judgement of what is bad language and a good understanding of what is a minimum. To some players not saying certain expletives every five minutes is keeping their language in check, while others could play all nite and never issue a controversial comment. Never assume anything! Most people don't exercise good judgement, that is why we have laws! Obviously, the wording of the rule is a "gray" area with it's boundaries loosly governed by whomever is carrying the big stick at that particular moment.
If you have gone to the trouble to assign keys on your keyboard with questionable statements, then, in my opinion, that is not the occasional "slip" or keeping it to a minimum. Again, an error in judgement. If I assigned keys, I would be anxious to use them, not keep them put away. Make sense? Until we have a black and white solution I.E. "We allow bad language" or "We do not allow bad language" and a list of what is considered by this organization to be "bad" language, this will be an infinite topic of discussion because it is always gonna be a judgement call. Some people will like it and some won't. Too bad, because if you tread there, you're probably gonna be removed from play, therefore, allowing you plenty of time to reflect on what is considered to be "bad". P.S. The ratings for these games is "T" for "teens". and the gameplay experience can change while online. Nine year olds are not "Teens". Again, a judgement call. |

And the capacity of not taking it personnaly is different to everybody! And i agree it's MoB that should decide who to kick and who not to kick, judgement is needed!! -------------------- ![]() |

I was on at the time. I saw Oh You use his bind. He usually uses it in retort to mine of "Wunderbar" Which simply means wonderful in german. There was someone else who was cursing. I did NOT catch the name for all the chatter. I saw her issue a warning, and I hit my LANGUAGE bind. To let the person know that they were warned. I remember seeing the word F*** and that's why I hit my button. The F word was not oh you, but someone else. Whoever said the F word, continually started talking trash, and that is who i thought DG kicked. I turned to her in game and said thank you. Oh You, I know that you did not say F. I do a condump at the end of almost every game to have evidence of cursive or abusive language. This is what i saw of the matter. I don't think she was wrong in her judgement and as hammatime has already stated. She apologized, you apologized THE END...

comes down to this... when a server full of people start acting up someone gets kicked. I will kick a member if there is a problem with them... I have done it. I hold no hard feelings to anyone, sometimes a kick reminds them of what the rules are. you were kicked for 15 minutes... not bad considering I sometimes kick for the day. Behemoth.... you of all people are the biggest shit stir'n buddy I have ever met.
its not G rated... on occation I will swear... but its a one time thing.... I TK'd someone yesterday... and got cursed out for it... (yes it was intentional and I appologized and told him why... and I let him vent his fustration... same as I did... <he kept shoting my tank for a ride and I didnt want to give him one... and YES I DID SAY FUCK yesterday.... thats not really like me, I feel the PG-13 rating on our server is fair. |

Hey OH YOU I love playing with you your a nice guy. So let me just say do as your told and drop the talk. We kick you for your own good. If you ever get on our bad side we'll ban you. behave be polite if asked to modify your language don't challenge it. I would rather see 10 inocent men get 1000 min kicks then on guilty go free. and by the way don't ask for fairness we don't promise anywere that we offer that. GOOSEDOWN
I had to kick Goosedown for TK'ing last week. And I deserved worse thank-you for being kind I've learned my lesson -------------------- ![]() |

I've also deleted that bind. It's not your fault. You didn't see the warning, and just had questions about your language. You were responded to rudely. How were you to know there was a nine year old playing? Let your kid kill someone in a video game, but don't let them see bum sex. -------------------- Idle hands spend time at the genitals, and we all know how much God hates that.

No annoyed that people are complaining about a 15 minute kick. And really my 9 yr old don't have nothing to do with it, I DONT WANNA see that type of inappropriate talking on the servers either. And we have REGS that are 13 and 14 also so...... -------------------- Sig by LOM Thanks!! ![]() Sig by Pezking Thanks your awesome! |
