Language Controle

Eventhough i do understand and respect your PoV in a sense of "doability" and responsibility for other peoples behavior, I must add that the common behavioral principies in the game environment should lie in the interrest of the game makers, since it directly reflects upon the gaming-experiance and thus, its success and its population. Accordingly , the inherit social structuring of the population and the behavioral standards direct, WHO is playing the game , with WHICH interrests (who will scare away who ?).
As  an game admins purpose also lies (at least partially) in ensuring the successfull delivery of the intended game experiance to a player, i do consider its job (partially) is also to represent and shape the intended experiance in a manner of its social representation in the game. Ofcourse i know , that this is all big theory, but in the end it comes down to "who is representing the community standards", which should be an admin rather than a troll right ? So far, regarding the "how far do admins responsibilities reach".
All iam saying is , that "alot of unnecessary work" accounts only up to the point where its really "unecessary" and also might or might not possibly cause alot of "unnecessary work" later on ... along with alot of "unpleasant work" .

experience... also your whole oppinion is right if this game was made for kids to young teenagers.  we all understand what you are saying dont worry about that, but its kind of hyper chivalrous, and very irrational to expect this  motion you say needs to happen to succeed, since hey its really not that bad in this community. of wich im sure hold more people 18+ than people younger. and ''adults'' should be able to express themselves ''rudely'' to a certain degree, ontop of that this being a mod with admins being unpayed volunteers.

I really dont know why poeple always try to downplay the relevance of utilized language. Its the base for all social interactions and most people will know the paradigmatic correlation of language and behavior.

I'm not downplaying the relevance of utilized language, and there's no correlation between language and behavior.  You seem to be forgetting that words have no power unless you choose to give them power.  As displayed in the classic literary example of "I know you are, but what am I?"

i dont say "words have power" i say , that "vocal and 'physical' appeariance are related" (physical as in: abuse of game mechanics to harass other players)... language and ingame-behavior have a correlation ; that does not mean, i cant handle words, it does mean, that rude language invites rude behavior ;)

I've probably been more "verbally abused" irl than the majority of people playing this game, yet I've somehow managed to never really give a fuck, words can only upset you if you give them meaning, or if they're true and you're deeply unhappy with yourself/whateverthathasmeaningtoyouthatisbeinginsulted. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.

That's a good attitude to have.  One of the best lessons my dad taught me as a child was to "consider the source".  Consider who's doing the talking.  If someone is trying to disrespect you, why should you give a fuck what they have to say about you?

Didnt' read a single post cept the OP so maybe this was already said but:

The game itself has a rating 16 I believe.  By that age every cunt knows every single insult out there.

I teach hauptschule and at age 11 they swear more than me.

So, fuck language control Micah, you just need to;

This is what you are looking for

It's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

There are now and then a few individuals that go over the board but those can be muted easily or banned on request.

There is no problem.

There is no problem.

I reassambled cPRG and found some interresting chadz code:

Code: [Select]

Words =: bad
Words => missbehavior => game no fun => more missbehavior => admin work => lazy admin unhappy  :(
Words =: good
Words => no missbehavior => game fun => game played => lazy admin happy   :D

but appearantly this thread is about me having problems to deal with ingame conversations, so - sorry , off-topic

Just to put it into perspective, I took a break for about a year and when I came back few days ago, the chat is such a mess I was quite taken aback. Year ago, people were getting muted, kicked and banned for the kind of shit that happens in the ingame chat today. I'm not a puritan, I don't mind offensive language, but when every single line in a chat is someone calling someone else gay/my old friend/retard/dickhead/asshole/whatever else, better yet in caps lock, it gets a bit tiring. The amount of hate in the chat is staggering.

But from Tenne's post, I guess that the admins prefer to go with the flow rather than do something that would make them unpopular with the community, it was bound to happen.
