What is it about Foul Language, that nuts some players up?

I know for a fact it can't be blamed on kids, because all ages represent this ubber curse group.

when your told NO cursing on a server, what is your reaction? And if it makes you angry ...why?

please no flames, as im just wondering why this has become such an anger trigger for some people.

the reason there is a no cursing rule on the aa.com server is it's more of a community server for the people of aa.com instead of a public server. it's a place that members of the community can feel comfortable letting their young children play the game on without having to worry about someone shouting "cum guzzling faggot" every time they get shot

thats not my point though...

Im not asking why servers have language rules , as ours do too. What im asking is, what makes a person feel the need to do it, and then lose all control when informed its not acceptable?

immaturity, feelings of rebellion against authority. some people feel that if they swear as much as possible and run around calling everyone a fag it makes them badass.

exactly. i was on a server with old reliable and some assholes made it their business to try to offend him with derogatory comments about him being gay, and his sexual habits (all completely untrue). with no swearing rules, they usually dont appeal to these kind of people and they just tend to leave, or behave well, because they know if they act immature they will be kicked instantly. but some people also try to act like this just to be kicked. either way no one wants to be called a derogatory name just for the actions they take in a video game, and thats why these kinds of rules are enforced.

I'm an old man by most of your standards here(except Oldguy). But when I was a kid I remember swearing once in front of my dad. He turned to me and said "If you want to swear, that's fine, but if you ask me it shows a lack of intelligence. If you can't find a better word to use, don't say anything at all." I admit, that yes I still swear(under my breath mostly). I think that our society has made the use of foul language into some kind of right of passage into adulthood, so people think that by swearing they are looking tough and cool, in reality their lack of intelligence is what is showing.

i think that it was a good idea bringing this up. i dont know, i think that it makes people feel superior to others because they feel that they can just cuse all they want and that it wolnt make a difference in the world to anyone but themselves. well, they are in for a rude awakining. also maby cause they are trying to show emotions or shed off emotions. or the just feel like saying it to try and anger others or to look cool. i dont know all in all why but these are some good assumptions.

I fully agree with you... all of you... I think swearing shows a lack of intelligence. Why swear... there are many alternatives. Like for the D word you can say darn etc...

Swear is part of the life like bazzoka is part of the game .

I realy don't care if someone want to swear , i am 21 years old and no one will tell me to not swear if i need to do it.

Prohibited of this and this and this and this , this commins communits.

Personally I swear a lot ( sometimes under my breath ) . Hell I'm 34 and I still would not swear in front of my parents.

I however do not tolerate it on the aa.com game server. We have many older members who like to have a nice place for there kids to play without worrying about what there kids are exposed to.

I would highly recommend RedsoccerDevil and bazooka joes chat filter soon to be released on AA.com. This filters out all the bad words that can sometimes crop up in a game. I would say this is the next best thing for server admins since autokick.

[DSB]Doggie · 08-13-2002, 07:19 PM

Good reply's everyone. Matrf's reply hits the nail on the head, and i ask why is being asked not to swear upset you as a player. ( I'm not picking on Matrf cause i like him, and just want his view)

Also age seems to have less of a factor then most people think. I see it from kids and adults alike.

More views please

yeah no kidding.... it was funny, you just keep using the rocket to piss them off, then you owned them with a thompson vs stg.... good times. me you and sherrill were always at the top :wink:

and rude, i remember yesterday you said something about a few new rules on the server, after some moron tried to exploit the swear filter, what was that all about?

rudedog · 08-13-2002, 07:37 PM

I need to repost the server rules so everyone understands them, Maybe a few new ones. but nothing radical.

I'm sorry to say a some of the regulars have been taking advantage of the server to really abuse things. Not many but a select few. I don't think any were on at that particular moment. But the past couple of days, it was just more then I could stand.

The people who donated money to keep the server alive, the regulars who just want to play and I should not have to put up with all the BS.

I hope to get something put together tomorrow or Thursday. Been busy in work and at home.
