<div style="width: 500px; text-align: center" align="center">To be promoted through the ranks of eGO, you need to demonstrate that you have the maturity and common sense to admin a server using the guidelines we teach in admin school.

Using common sense, you can determine if a player's use of language and certain unacceptable words requires action from an admin. With this in mind, the official list of unacceptable words has been removed from eGO policies and will no longer be a part of admin training.

From now on, use this simple question as your guide: "Would I use that language in front of a child, my priest, or my grandmother?"

Everyone is guilty of an occasional slip of the tongue in a moment of frustration. We should let those initial slips go by with a warning. Of course, continue to warn/kick/ban as needed if it continues. No one is immune to this rule. Admins, e's and pubs are to be treated the same regarding use of language and respect for other players.

As one of our wise Division Leaders once said, "Relax, play the game, and don't look for situations to admin. Just handle what happens."</div>​

Well I like the idea but i dont think it will work (my opinion) because certain admins are more leniant then others. before you could say damn,hell and ass. But would you say any of thoughs to a priest,Grandother, or parents? Proboly not. I just dont think its a good idea to get rid of the swear rules. A slip of the tougne before only got a warning too. its just encouraging people to go AH $%^& and get away with it by saying "o i just sliped". Before it was Black And White. Now its grey. Is it good or is it bad? its upto the admin to deside, This will make every new players worry of words they can say and cant based on the admin who is in the server. This is like capitol punichment before they knew about DNA. So many good people will be unreasonabley banned. So im gona to stop wright this rant and say: THIS IS A BAD IDEA.

Thanks ~Cammo
 
I agree to that DL 100 percent. There are way too many "admins" in ego right now that just sit (sometimes just sit in spectate and don't play at all) and admin all day.

Our job as admins is to play crowd control. We are here to take care of situations only when they get out of control. We aren't here to admin every little thing and make our servers unfriendly.
 
LOL! I figured you guys didn't have one.
Good move. The only thing that really will be getting "shrugged" is how leaniant admins are to some things. My background I'm so incredibly used to listening to people shout and scream profanities (I used to myself A LOT) but I've slowly gotten used to the whole "language" issue.

Good choice... as long as it's offending to an admin that's on, or a pub for that matter... it shouldn't be allowed.
 
"Would I use that language in front of a child, my priest, or my grandmother?"

I think the part about "language I'd use in front of my grandmother" should probably be ignored in my case. My grandmother is Irish and worked in a factory for the majority of her life. I learned my vocabulary fast.
 
This kind of gives me a little higher chance of a promotion I think, which is good, From what admins I have played with, and also asked them to mute/kick rude players, I think they noticed I'm mature for this stuff, I think... :)

I just judge it by "Would I have said it to my teacher when I was in 2nd Grade?"
She was strict about language. So Yeah. :D
 
agree with this, will try my best to keep things clean even if im no admin, if no admins there ill try my best
 
I don't really like those 3, I usually use the "If I was a politician giving a public speech while avoiding bad publicity" filter. It actually works quite the same.
 
I totally agree. I'm always nice to the people who carry-on in our servers. You can check all the logs on me. I'm good at killing them with kindness. LOL

If someone say's the SH*t word, I ask them, "Did you just say Shoot"? They usually say, "Oh, Yes, I said shoot"! It usually catches their attention and they don't swear anymore.

We all make mistakes. But continual offenders get nice private messages from me and dealt with in a professional manor.

Peace!
 
Even though it was originally against eGO rules i have been doing this kind of admining from the very start. My only complaint is that now racist remarks will be left to the decision of individual admins when i feel they are all zero tolerance. Well to each his own (admining).
