EVE General Discussion

I agree the EULA does good... Dont get me wrong. But like the forums... have a chat filter for those people. I can understand banning for links. But for a few cuss words? Please...

Posting in a stealth nerf ISBoxer thread.

Comparing Apples and oranges here.

swearing in public isn't against the rules -for this, read against the law (well, not where I live, unless you're going for a breach of the peace charge).

Swearing in a chat channel, is against the rules -for this, read against the EULA.

"Profanity is the strongest expression of a weak mind." - Mark Twain, or maybe Confucius. Nietzsche?

Anyway, learn to trash talk without resorting to the use of profane/racist/homophobic/misogynistic/etc., language. You will be pleasantly surprised at the results. At a minimum, taking the higher road implicitly makes your opponent look like an immature twit to be pitied instead of reviled while making you look like a cultured, talented, elitist snob, which invokes tears and rage in its own right.

tl;dr - Try trash talking with a British accent.


edit: However, if your opponent is actually British, then it's likely that you have been horribly (and publicly) humiliated before you even realize it.


edit2: F'ing Brits.

I could care less about what is written in local or what links are put in because:

-I have the choice to read or not to read it

-I have the choice to click or not to click

And even after if something displeases me I can answer or block that player, corporation or alliance with a single click.

I'm saying this as an adult, parent.
If I don't want my kids to read crap I don't give them crap
If I don't want them to click internet links I just control how and what they do.

It's a matter of personal responsibility, education and maturity. But in this game just like in any other game you can't ask everyone to be responsible of his acts his sayings or his choices and you can't avoid the inevitable faceless internet anonymous nerds just because they can try to harm you in some meaningful way.
This reminds me some alliance making part of mine at some point that were the greatest local bad posting, gay links, direct insults and what not, since then things changed and standings reset, guess what, since they can't so anything against us playing this game every single occasion they can we get guys ban for the exact same reasons OP shown.

Doesn't matter how much my game will evolve, I've find the right people to play with sharing more or less the same objectives but I do know for sure also there are many many true yellow/cowards/pussies/anonymous freaks that will try to use anything they can just to have the self satisfaction of doing something meaningful of their life.

I just block them and move on, if I'm ban I'm ban, the day I'll get tired of I'll give my money to someone else with no regrets whatsoever because of pixels and a bunch of stupid nerds.

I highly support this thread and believe OP will succeed in removing all forms of trashtalk from online media with his well laid out thoughts.

I'm gonna take a stab here that the OP has no understanding what crude language is acceptable and what crude language is not. AKA we're not getting the whole story of posting goatsie links in local or using racist/homophobic language in local.

I can't recall a time anyone got banned for shittalking in local complete with F-bombs and whatnot.
but corpies sure got gagged and banned for gay porn links in local and calling people the N-word

point is , there's a line, know where it is and don't cross it

Agreed

It falls under the heading of "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

'Cause they're the ones busy planning to convert you and your hull into entertainment and resources for their own benefit.
