DO NOT say something is right/wrong. LEAVE yourself open to others.

In my opinion, it's hypocritical to allow* username's on this forum that consist of profanity and have a zero tolerance for words like "ass", "damn" or "shit". I won't post any username's, however, I'm sure everyone has seen plenty…

I'm sure some of you know I don't exactly agree with no swearing, but I can live with it because I KNOW for a fact it[profane words] gets abused(even WITH the rule)…

I believe one of the reasons why we have a zero tolerance for profanity(bbq pit not included) is because we want to distinguish ourselves from less mature communities and provide a nicer environment.

Please discuss (:

*by allow i do not mean it's not against the rules.

EDIT:
Also, i believe staff should be setting better examples by following rules they HELPED get put into place:

Another thread football? Can't you just leave it in peace? Pm a mod the usernames of the people you think are hypocritical and I'm sure it will be dealt with.

I think the thread is about people registering with the profanity usernames. I did a search of the memberlist a few weeks ago for them and saw at least 3 pages of names.

k I'll pm hobbit about it, see what he thinks
EDIT: assuming it's admins that can do anything about usernames

Just PM any you notice to admin to take care of it.
Admins/people also normally report posts of users with cursenames and it gets taken care of.
Maybe a filter can be made so it's not even possible to have one.

Yes, this is exactly what this is about, I JUST saw a user with the name "kickassss" or similar… I wanted to post this a while ago but this just finally reminded me too.

A filter would be great. Thanks for responding YoHoJo.
I'll pm/report.

My usage was in perfectly positive sense, get offended. I'm sure the same point would've come across if I had instead said
"If that Joseph Kony business was to cover up for a new war on oil, I find it to be an alright performance from some goverment level strategist".

No

Also I didn't vote for profanity rules or whatever, before the recent discussion we were going by internet standards except for avoiding flaming. I have no clue why (apart from when trying to offend someone) anyone cares at all.

It's a rule to be enforced by discretion of the moderators according to the context.

Nope, haven't received an infraction lately!
surprise surprise!

@n3ss3s
The rules have changed, I suggest you take a look at them immediately. There is absolutely no swearing outside of the BBQ Pit.

@Footballs
1. Devs are not staff
2. Send me a list and I will resolve. Whenever I see inappropriate names I give them 48 hours to send me a new name, if they do not respond i pick one for them.


I will look into username filtering

Just wondering, the username 'Sex' is okay?

I.dont have anything a
Against the usernames.

Hobbit, you should do what someone did on a different forum, I had an account named 'My Hoes' and they changed it to Genital Wartface… :c
