I love it how in a game of griefing, murder, thievery, extortion, blackmail, racism, and ransoming, it's the language that gets you in trouble.

So you got caught telling dead-baby jokes in local? Never ever do that. Save it for church. If you have to practice, tell them to your child's school teacher/principal/babysitter else the next cop you see.

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

I'm going to assume you are 12 based on your puerile corporation name and inability to communicate like an adult without the need for foul language.

Still... in a game where it's made out to be so cruel due to the mechanics and the freedom for players to act however they want (excl RL death threats and abusing CCP/Staff) apparently bad language isn't allowed.

To me that doesn't add up... as well as the fact the in game isn't rated for the reason that anyone has the ability to swear.

Learn from WoW, CCP and implement a "profanity filter". Gary Speed jokes can just be ignored at will

The game still operates in the real world, with real people controlling the characters. Within the confines of the game you're free to lie, cheat, murder, pillage and burn to your heart's content: start uttering filth about real world sexuality, gender, race or legitimacy of birth and you can expect to suffer real world consequences. Freedom of political expression does not extend to vilification, hate speech or inciting panic. The rules of the game are quite clear in this regard, and you are not allowed to hide behind "role playing" as an excuse for being racist, misogynist or vomiting forth pornographic images in local chat.

Actions -> Consequences

That's what this game is about, people who aren't prepared to accept the consequences of their actions should just GTFO.

I wish there were some consequences for your posting, but alas...


Oh, and maybe this is a bad time to point this out, but CCP's anthem is Harden the **** Up. :smirk:

Wow this thread really got more replies than I had expected. Allow me to retort:

Hey whatever you have to do to affirm your level of maturity to someone you don't know. I'm reminded of all the idiot girls in middle/high school who took it upon themselves to blatantly flaunt just how much more mature than all the boys were. One would think that will all your years of acquired wisdom you would have heard what they say about assumptions.

Quote:
I find it racist that you associate griefing, murder, thievery, extortion and ransoming with black males only.


Um, I was talking about the different races within the game. You know, Amarr, Caldari, Minmatar, and Gallente. Roll Who said anything about blacks or ma .... Oh I see what you did there. Well done, dear.

I totally agree. However, another group of people I personally believe should GTFO of Eve would be the ones who are easily offended.



Look. The initial reason why I posted here was not to ***** about anything, just a quick laugh. I'm not mad, bro. I will admit that what I said was a bit over the line in acceptable public behavior, but damnit that vodka isn't going to drink itself.

That being said, I think my overall issue with this situation would be CCP's use of selective ethical policy. You know, like waging a holy war on unaffiliated ISK sellers only to turn around and start selling ISK? While I would would bet that it is a rare occasion for most CCP members to actually take pleasure in gagging anyone, it really seems like this policy is simply an effort to appease parents and retain Eve's delicate teenage subscriber demographics.

Also, does the fact that this was all brought on by some dipshit crybaby noob who got his **** ganked, and had no other viable option for retaliation change anything?

I dont see being earth-based racist as an valid excuse in this mmo. I mean what sort of nationalities still exist after 15,000 years where earth is unheard of in this part of the galaxy.

The setting of this game is one that requires a certain amount of cerebral activity.

Which tends to mean that while we all to try steal, murder and backstab eachother in the most tear inducing way we can invent. We tend to do so in a quite polite and civilised language.

Calling someone a ****** whiny ***** and a ****** offspring of a ***** from ***** and ******'s sausage is easy.

But having opponent resort to such trivialities is pure win ;)

Where have we learned this from?
It's ok to pillage, murder, steal, ****, kill, lie to, lie about, providing you don't offend them.

I'm sure I've heard of this behaviour before, I just can't put my finger on where.

ATX: The best of the rest.

In fact, a quick investigation into the corporation claims everyone must be 18+. As a teenager this level of mentality is somewhat understandable, but as an adult its just plain depressing. Furthermore this actually IS a RACIST corporation as well as everything else.

Oh, so if a group of adults do not like having teens and kids in their corporation\guild\clan, they are somehow ******** or something, yeah?
I don't know about you, but I don't like having annoying 12-16 year olds with squeaky voices in my chat, or my fleet, that even pisses the wife off when we are on voice chat with our gaming clan.

Also, I agree with the OP, I got gagged for 24 hours once, when I had a fleet op planned that night, which I could not do anymore because communication was impossible.

All because I called someone a *** in Local in Jita earlier that day, because he was posting ******** spam so fast that I could not manage to select him and block him.

On one hand, this game lets people grief the **** out of you, and that is perfectly within the game rules, yet when you swear at someone in Jita (which, by the way, complaining about swearing in Jita is like complaining that people **** each other in a whore house.), it's the end of the world.

****. That.
This game is not exactly Hello Kitty Online, if you know what I mean, and overzealous moderation has been known to **** me off, especially in games considered *hardcore*...
We are adults, people swear, people die, people kill, people steal, grow the **** up and deal with it, me saying you are a *** does not affect you in any way, shape or form unless you are a spineless idiot that needs to get the **** out of his mom's vagina and see the world for what it is.

This applies both IRL and in Eve, because people that aren't butthurt about **** like that in Eve are most certainly not affected IRL either, and those that are, are.

Can't help but feel sorry for people that in the year 2011, moving close to 2012, still take offense in anything other than actions.
I mean FFS, our ancestor's children were more badass and hardcore and non pussies than today's *adults*.
It's sad, really.

Inappropriate signature, CCP Phantom.

Justifying hatred by "I didn't mean *** when I said ***". If you can't say what you mean then perhaps you should have extended your education a bit further.

Some of us work in profanity like an artist in fine oils or sculptor in marble. It can be used in intelligible conversations by a master.

If Goons were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
