Rule Question

[Chief of Cereal]

This is nothing against the rules but why can we curse on eGo servers im not saying like *** * * * *** *** ***** really long and repedidly but like just a simple curse word i got banned one time for saying screw you thats not a bad word my friend said finger bang as from the heavy in TF2. I mean like the game is rated M and M means mature not made for a 4 year old now remember this is nothing against the rules but i mean like CSS isnt made for little kids its made for mature gamers that understand the consequences if ur really under age to play a M rated game

You are right. M stands for Mature.

mature - fully developed in body or mind, as a person (dictionary.com, 2010)

Mature players can think of something better and more appropriate to say other than swear words. Punks can't. We don't allow punks in our server.

Well, "Screw you" is actually player disrespect which is much worse than swearing. Imagine going up to somebody in the street and saying "screw you" to them. You would get punched in the face.

Every community/clan in the world has rules. These are ours. If you do not like our rules then don't play on the servers.

Im 15 and i definitely don't want to be sworn at and people make fun of me. I joined when i was 13 and eGO is great.

Also, next time, if you have a concern please post in the DropBox.

ok i dont mean too break the rules hear but all i would say or use as a curse word is aw holy s**t you know for when your just playing and u died on jail or something and ur like what the f**k admit it weve all dont it people can control there language but the sould have the right too say screw you or stupid i mean if they say that at all they meant it in a funny way if they get into a conflict thats there problem

Also another thing. You probably wouldn't have been banned straight away. We have a warn/kick/ban policy. You cannot kick somebody without warning them first and you cannot ban then without kicking them. (Excluding pornography/racism).

It also depends on the admin. If you swear on mic by accident the admin might let it slide and then give you a formal warning if you do it a second time.

you can say whatever you want to yourself. you don't have to proactively press your mic button and say it or type it out in chat. we all go 'OMGWTF' if we get ROFLPWNT but we don't say it in-game.

By this sentence i think you mean "Admit it, we can't all control our language". Well, mic and text chat are different. If you want to swear just don't type it out, whats the need? What does it really get you? You are actually thinking about what to type and most people know its against the server rules.

If you want to swear say it out loud to yourself or say it to one of your friends on steam, just dont say it in the server. Its not very hard.

Sometimes i let my little sister play the game, I do not want people swearing. Im sure if you have a little sister/brother you would not want them to be sworn at or made fun of.

you my friend made a very excellent point but i grew around a dad that curses in every sentence and i was raised on the online gameplay of Xbox live and people curse allll the time and i kind of grew on too it so its like i have a part of Tourette's (not physically or born with) but i just grew on too it and then i met eGo and i liked there servers and i love there zombie server and they had a no vulgarity rule and i was like ohhhhh godddd this will be fun...( btw why did you guys get rid of your Zombie mod server?)

 

[Chief of Cereal]

Ive been with eGo a while and ill be an admin maybe one day and i can show you guys that im mature and stuff but you guys have too understand if i ever say anything like screw you which i really most likely wont then I'm referring too a friend i no i no i could just send him a PM but i have never meant anything disrespectful too any eGo player in a hurtful way but in a funny and friendly way

for eGO members its just k/b, fyi

Ultimately, the way I look at it. The rule is in place for a reason by the higher-beings.

This is something they want in place to make our community safe for all, which I have no objections to and I believe it is a rule of little trouble to follow.

Steam Friends is there for a reason too.

I'm going to close this as this really doesn't belong here. If you have any other concerns, please use the DropBox by clicking the said link.

As previously mentioned, there are various methods to prevent further issues of "language violations" on our servers. The simplest and easiest being, not to use inappropriate language on the servers. However, if you feel the need to, don't actively press your microphone talk button or type it in text chat.

We have a simple rule of thumb that we go by. If you wouldn't say it to your grandmother, then don't say it.
