EVE New Citizens Q&A

How hard is it for people to moderate their own language in game? Assume everyone you're playing with is 10-12 years old and speak how you would speak if you were with friends or family around people of that age. Then you don't have a problem with offending anyone. I don't get how the thought of having self control upsets "some people".

Would you extend said freedom to (for example) the K-K-K? After all according to you, it's all good. Freedom of speech does not equal freedom from consequence.

In terrible, low brow communities, yes. I've been around decent society myself.

Look again. "Princesses with potty-mouths" comes to mind. Swearing excessively is becoming the "norm" for that age group. (And in that specific video they are actually encouraged by adults!)

Which is irrelevant. Parents shouldn't be letting their 10-12 year olds play EvE, just like they should't let them hang out at bars. It is a parent's job to regulate what their child is exposed to. You cannot expect the entire internet to bend to your ideals.

And this coming from someone that has not uttered a swear-word in my life. I find it rather undermines your apparent intelligence. But it would be absurd for me to expect the same conduct from others. Everyone has different values.

Slurs are somewhat of a different of story. For me ignoring/blocking works just fine. Others are offended more easily. To them, I would say not "man up!", but "why do you let what people say affect you so much?" Words are just words. I'm not condoning their use, but you can make a conscious decision whether or not to affected. Choose not to be affected.

Typical. Rather than ignoring or blocking something lets get on a soapbox and demand change for the injustice! After this we can get together and save the polar bears, stop global warming, and give out free 1st place ribbons to all the people who want to play EVE but cant because they are poor. Activists unite!

Typical? I don't get it. You make a sarcastic remark, but then include actual, real problems. Not sure what you're going for here. Seems like you're suggesting that global warming, melting ice caps and the loss of natural environment for polar bears are what... not real problems? Not deserving of attention? You know that we did land on the moon, right?

Nice edits... your post needed them.

Hey, there's no problem with the report function if someone offends you. Nothing has to be changed.

"Kind Sir, you have destroyed my vessel and put my pod back into the clonevat. I have to tell you that I am very angry about this. You should know that my feelings towards you are very negative right now."

- "Thank you for your message. I will feast on your words and anger like a Lord, which was the whole purpose of my activity in the first place. If you have anything more to say to me, please do not hesitate."

"Yes, I actually do. It is beyond my understanding why you would destroy my ship and capsule. I am thinking lots of angry words about you and close relatives of yours."

- "Dear Sir. The pleasure is fully on my side. I am always happy when people inform me about their feelings, especially when it comes to close relatives of mine."

"Please go enjoy yourself. It would please me most, if you did so with your father. Please have a nice day."

- "I will do so, of course. You too, my friend"


What bothers me most is the hypocrisy of people who are easily offended. Their emotional shallowness can be overcome by proper actions. Easily. Blocking does not protect anyone from gunfire.

You all who believe that you have a right in demanding that others live and behave how you want them to, need to remember that there is nothing you can say that will protect you from someone who believes the same as you do, but rather lets actions speak for him.
