OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

Like, oh my God!

You need to get a clue. What is the point of ranting about a server's permissions? The owner has the right to do as they please and considering it isn't cheap running a server, you need to shut the fcuk up or respect that server's rules.

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

when I ran the 7th ranked (world) Call of Duty server in late 2003/early 2004, we had a strict language policy. our server was full, literally, 24 hours a day (it was an east coast server so we had Europeans, Canada and the US in the various time zones at all times of the day).

most reasonable people appreciated it as a well-run, well-admined server. setting, and living up to, higher standards will always make you a target in life. so be it. :)

We had a similar COD server, except we didn't bother with rankings. We had to end it because it was continuously full and taking much more bandwidth than expected. To illuminate the opposite of what you are saying though, is that we allowed all forms of racial, ethnic and any kind of vulgarity. People loved it, obviously.

Once again: A server isn't a good server simply because of rules, sometimes a lack of rules makes it funner and better

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

You can call my mother anything you want. It's my mother that you should be worried about, not me being offended.

Now, call that to my face, it won't offend me, but don't expect me to take it and not say something that will make you cringe. I can think of some pretty nasty things to say to someone, quite fun actually.

(remember, it was a general comment, not a directed comment...do not retaliate)

And why would you "say something that would make me cringe" exactly? Something tells me that those words aren't as hollow as you would like to believe.

Thanks for helping prove my point.

P.S - what you do on your lunch, is your business.

I hear ya, which is exactly why servers are different and have different levels of popularity with certain demographic groups. ours as defined in my post, attracted mature, team-oriented players. :)

as far as ranking, CoD, per se, did not have rankings, but, our server was the 7th most traveled server in the world for quite some time. I think we hit 6th once, but that was for a short period of time.

Cheers!

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

If children were playing this game, then I might understand about bad language being used. But its a grown up game for 15+. Its war and **** happens. So if its some grown-ups moaning on about the offence of bad words.......well they can go and **** em selfs and stop playing nasty war games when bad language is used.

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

This thread has been going WAY downhill from the start, swearing is not used in normal conversation unless you are farmilar with the person on a certain level and even then most people dont, only friends do. The same should apply to online. Whatever they say on TV or any other media shouldn't be bannable but you shouldn't swear unless something happens and you want to express your anger/frustration. Swearing for the sake of swearing is worthless for everyone. I understand some people grow up with it but it still should not be in normal conversation.

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

I don't understand people like you. You insist that you are the majority. I have heard all walk's of life swear. Beside's that they have done drug's, killed, raped. Pointing out someone's lack of age, maturity is just pointless. I think people like you just need to leave your "dream land" and join us here on earth.


What values should I live by? Your's? GOD's? My own? I choose my own. If I need to live life being careful what I say. Then I want no part of it. I will do and say wtf I want when I want. If you don't like it that's not my problem. It's called (now read this very carefully) "FREEDOM OF SPEECH". Funny we think it's ok to make exception's.

lol, this ones a real good one! the majority of people have done drugs, killed, and raped? are you serious?

now onto your 2nd paragraph, wow, just wow. you don't need to be careful about what you say huh? let me drop you off in the the most minority populated city or part of a city in america and let you yell out racial slurs and whatever you want. lets see how long it takes for you to be crying for your mommy. i would almost guarrantee you won't be living that long. maybe you should also look up your little freedom fo speech quote. freedom of speech DOES NOT mean you can say what you want, when you want. when you get out of maybe in 6 years when you graduate, if you even do, you might be a little smarter.

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

family game filled with death, violence, killing, etc etc lmao

swearing bad - killing and war good..rrriiiiiight

i could care less about swearing - does not bother me in the least - especially since I curse like a sailor at times.

I do agree that the server is owned and operated by a group - they can do with it as they please (such as rules on swearing so to speak - as long as they are following the EA guidelines).

As for booting for idiot - nah - abuse of power.

I think to be fair - there should at least be a message at the server start that says no swearing (have seen this) - and there should be at least one warning before boot from server. The written word at server start can serve as the initial warning. I don't f***'ing care. :P I have been warned for language - message popped up - I shut my cakehole and instead just voiced my frustration over my own teamspeak server to the players on my server. Mine mine mine - I could curse - no problems with the little kiddies.

As for the parents letting children play this game - you allow this - they are in a game that is not rated PG-5. Screw you for yelling at me when you let your kids into these types of games.

Just because I take my kid into an R rated movie does not mean I need the theater to beep out the bad words.

People keep saying they don't want to see the swearing - ok - fine by me - but if there are no rules about it - free country, free speech, free foul language. Rather than bitch about it or try to change me - remove yourself from the offensive situation. Easy as that.

I think one thing people need to realize is that the net is vast - all sorts of people and freaks in the world. If you let your kids, or your naive self go out onto the web or net thinking you are in a safe, comfortable situation that you have complete control over - you are sadly mistaken. Too many people with too many views not to be expressed in manners that you do not approve of.

My advice - quit your bitchen - join a different server if there is language. If the server has rules - rules need to be followed. If you don't follow them - shame on you. I will make sure to laugh as you are kicked while I vocally curse the admin behind the lameass move. :P

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

Did you ever think that adults maybe don't feel like playing with a bunch of foul mouthed teenagers? I'm not going to make any assumptions about your age, but good luck using profanity out in the professional world. Remember, according to most people, perception is reality. What kind of image do you think you portray when you start cursing and throwing a temper tantrum?

"When you start cursing and throwing a temper tantrum" Really, was I throwing a temper tantrum? As far as I know, being confused is not the same as being aggravated. Normally, I would rarely ever swear and there is a very just reason for why I said "wtf?" in BF2 when somebody crashed a jet straight into a mountain while I was in it. Now, I would normally say "What the heck" or "What happened" but since BF2 is a fast-paced game, I simply said wtf? to save myself a lot of time and hopefully get an explanation sooner. Apparently I was wrong and I get kicked out for saying an abbreviation which I never would've expected to be on the kick list of swear words.

"Did you ever think that adults maybe don't feel like playing with a bunch of foul mouthed teenagers?" Yes, I did think about it, and I've come to an assumption that I am now more confused then before:
Sometimes, server's say that they don't like swearing because children like to play the game, while at the same time, saying that they don't want any childish behaviour... Now am I the only one seeing a conflict here? But hey, what do I know about the world of proffesionalism?

I said the majority of people have done drug's, killed, raped? I think I said all walk's of life have done the above. If you believe in racism then yes you do have the "right" to speak it. Right and wrong is not what "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" stands for. You are speaking of feeling's and belief's. Crying to mommy? Who say's that? A well educated person as yourself? C'mon man.

I can and will say wtf I want when I want. If I choose to.

About the children blah blah. What's worse killing or swearing? This game is based on killing!

What does the underlined sentence say? Smarter? Ha, Ha! Make me laugh some more.

Re: OMG, I just got kicked for saying a bad word!

What make's it good or bad?

The people who run the server determine what is appropriate and what is not. On a broader scale the appropriateness of words is determined by social decency, and cultural influence. For example "F@g" is considered an insult in the US, where as in England it means "a cigarett". Another example is N*****, It is ok for Black people to use but not White people. The severity of that word varies on the situation.

Who said that life has to be this way or that way? Why should I choose these value's, moral's?

Well I am not telling you to "choose" these values or morals, only to respect the values and morals of the server you "CHOOSE" to play on.

I'm not understanding your point's.

surprise surprise surprise

So if I said S-Hi-T you would be offended? But if I say Fecal Matter it's ok? WHY? HMM...Maybe you can explain to me how this type of speaking/typing really make's you feel degraded, hurt, upset? Does it really ruin your day that someone in a battlefield (or in life) game called you a F-U-C-K FACE?

I personaly would not be offended is you cussed, but some may be. Why is it ok? Well, thats just the way it is. I dont make the rules. Until you can learn that even words have thier appropriate time and place there is no use in trying to explain it to you. Your vulgarity and insults mean nothing to me, personaly, in the game. I know you are just some unhappy person sitting behind a computer who wouldnt have the balls to call me, much less anyone else anything to thier face.

Try not to bore me with insults. Try to explain yourself like an "ADULT" <--whatever the **** that means?

Dose explaining myself like an adult require cussing like you? I thought my post was pretty understandable. Please feel free to ask about anything in particular that you didnt quite get. I'll be sure to clarify it with explitives so that you understand.

Try to explain yourself like an "ADULT" <--whatever the **** that means?

I requoted this cause its just that funny.
You ask me to explain myself as an "ADULT" yet you eagerly admit that you have no idea what "ADULT" means. lol

ps
Super Donkey I was not refering to you in my earlier post. I too agree that the filter is not what it should be.
