Swearing

[PatPeter]

Is there any place where I can find what words eGO allows and does not allow? In the past I have been told that no swear words are allowed, but today Solution (eG) told me "ass", "damn", and "hell" are allowed. So can I find such a list or are words only disallowed on current admin consensus?

 

[Blackestsoul]

Damn and hell are aloud.....ass...depends I guess the way its used and how often...

 

[TwistedZ]

Basically think "Would I say "Insert word here" to my grandma who is about to die?" AND ass damn and hell are Okay as long as they are not directed at anyone. That would just be plain player disrespect

 

[Dweeb]

Nice way of looking at it TwistedZ.

Im sure most all people do some swearing HOWEVER we wish to keep it off our servers.
their are other ways to exspress your self.

 

[R3GaLaDo]

Yeah i know in real life i cuss in every sentence.. its just the way i talk, but i do try my hardest to keep my in game talk very clean :]]

 

[Fuegosan]

heheh now i know i can say DAMN on the server muahahaha "JOKE"

 

[EyelessHunter]

Yeah, the most important thing is to not be offensive toward other players and not to be obscene

 

[Dewars]

Just think to yourself, Will this make any one mad if I type it in.

I have tried and replaced every f-bomb or other profane use of language in-server by 'crap'. Worked well for me.

 

[Starscream]

I have the foulest mouth on earth, so I tone it down in the eGO servers.

Its really simple, use other words.

Aww that stinks
Crap
Crud!
Darn

The reason im not using fillers for sentences, is because typically when people do cuss, accident or not, its when they get shot and they just blurt it out.
So when blurting, blurt one of the above.

Everyone says

oh its so hard to break my cussing habits

when honestly, its just a matter of doing it.

sammeee, is it really that hard not to swear...

 

[Tr33t]

I drop the f-bomb and mommy f-bomb off mic and off text.. I drop them like I was a bad kid with an infinite amount of plates to break.

Chase has the right idea here

Well I myself used to swear constantly. I got very used to the fact that the F word was just another word. I started playing in your eGO server one night, accidentally said the other word for crap, and they said "Please, watch your language". I was all "Hmm.. Sounds good". Through out the course of the night.. - I was proud of myself for this - when I was about to swear I stopped half way, and said "Ohh Crap! Sorry!" And went carrying on with the current sentence, or topic of interest.. Now, I find myself barely swearing.


You, eGO, helped me quite a lot, my hats off to you

Best Regards,
Winters

Lol..i use to cuss more now not to much...probably play on the server alot help me out lol..

 

[Chase]

Cussing is a terribly unnessacary use of words in a sentence to give exaggeration.
think about it like this:
Say a sentence using a cuss word in it.
Now take the cuss word out.
Majority of the time, the sentence works exactly the same. The "bad" words are just filler.

Ex.

• This is
  Spoiler

  ****ing
  ridiculus.
• This is ridiculus.

It just puts more emphasis on the word, and you've got an entire language filled with other, appropriate, words for that very purpose.

Dont get me wrong, i do it to in everday life. It happens, but i try to either not use them, or use a far better substitute.
Cause in the end, thier pointless and just make you sound ignorant.
