Hello all,

I used the search button to find something about this, but I haven't find any so I decided to create a thread. If there is a thread already about this, then my apologise. I'm trying to get used to this forum, I'll really try to do my best!

Today I were wondering myself what are the rules for inappropriate language on the SG servers? What's the limit, what is accepted and what is not. I guess racism is a instant ban right, or am I wrong here? Anyway what about stuff like: Calling people mother fuckers, saying stuff like all admins are gays (while there is no admin in the server) , son of a bitch etcetera.

Hopefully it will all be clear to me soon again, right now it's a bit unclear because I don't know the SG rules very well. Not that I break any tho lol. Just wanted to know the rules about inappropriate language, since there are definitely some people who swear / insulting other people all the time.

Thanks in advance! ;)

I guess as long as there is no disrespect it's fine.

I guess as long as it isn't meant to be harmful or racist it's okay. Like if I lightheartedly called someone a fucker for killing me I don't think it'd be an issue. Though there was an admin that would issue warnings for calling someone gay before, not sure of the official stance on calling someone gay.

It depends on the admin, and if you're trying to be disrespectful. Like others said, some admin will ban for things such as gay.

Admins should be trying to diffuse a situation, muting, and then banning if necessary. If somebody is just raging and insulting people, the admin should ask them to stop. If it is just humorous banter, then it is fine.


As Hazardous said, just don't be overly disrespectful to the point where the admin has to remove you from the game. If you think someone is being too disrespectful, you can always try a demo if an admin is not on, but I wouldn't think there would be any real punishment unless it is a serious case.

I know I have said some bad words in a admin presence such as "God damnit" or "shit" but I think if the admin feels it isnt harmful to others as people above me have stated then it probably isnt a issue, but anything meant to be harmful and disrespectful is against the rules.

as long as it is not showing disrespect, racist, spam ect., there is no rules against swearing. if you think some one is breaking one of thise rules you are allways welcome to ask an admin to stop it

OK, I guess my question has been answered. So if I'm right now, a ban request will only be needed if the player is spamming insults towards another player. Not if he just said one sentences of an insult right? =)

Basically East, swearing is bound to happen therefore there really is no point in moderating it. Especially since CS:S is definitely not a game for children. However, we take harassment of other players quite seriously and it can end up in someone being banned for it. For example, we don't accept people picking on someone for petty reasons, and if people are constantly abusing a particular person then the admins are going to step in. This can range from a mute, a kick or even a ban based on severity (racism for example).

This kind of harassment tends to happen a lot with children who have microphones, as their voice tends to get on people's nerves. They get a lot of stick from some of the more immature players (although it is granted that sometimes these children tend to overuse their mic which would count as mic spamming) because of their voice, and we do not tolerate any kind of this behaviour. These kids have as much right to talk as anyone else and if we see that things are becoming excessive and too extreme, punishments will be issued. However, we will always warn people to lay off the insults before we take any further action.

I hope that has answered your question.

Unless you're disrespecting someone else and/or mic spamming/being annoying, then you can say what you want EXCEPT for racist comments.

That's it.

Dude, porn sprays are allowed on SG servers. GOOD porn is encouraged by some admins, and you haven't heard someone cussing until you've seen supernublet get zombified when someone throws a failnade.

On the contrary I actually ban for porn sprays. Hentai, any kind of cartoon pornography in fact is what I don't tolerate at all. I do not understand why people like seeing over exaggerated breasts (size) for example drawn with pencil.

Also, while we're on the topic of language, let's clear up the meaning of a word.

Racism
–noun
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Naming someone as a "jew" or as their "nigga" is not racist. Religious sentiments has nothing to to do with or refer to race. Therefore the administration's rule of racism cannot be counted towards a religious reference. ie; Please get your definitions right. "Nigga'" is a sincere term of endearment between the collective mind who uses it. It is not stating nor defying an indifference between a race; it is rather eluding to companionship. :usa2:

Yes, my intelligence is greater than yours. Do with it what you will.

Ouch, you're not going to last here very long.

Race
-noun
1.) Humans considered as a group.

I think you'll find that a 'group' of people who each belong to the same religion tends to count.

Regardless we don't tolerate "nigga".

Jew on the other hand, I don't think we actually have a rule on that.

"An admin can deem any spray they see unfit and bannable..." (something along those lines)

If one asks you to stop spraying your porn spray and you don't, they can ban you for it (as a last resort). Just depends on the admin that's on.

Also, Blastoise, some words of advice; when trying to state your case or view on a certain subject, don't be a pompous ass about it.

^^^ What he said. This is not a democracy, nor do you have any "rights". Keep arguing with the admins about the Nigg[A/ER] thing, see how well that works out for you.

Yep and like he said the accent is what really does it. Nublet has the perfect accent for swearing.

*ethnic

Jews can be considered a race as the definition includes descendants of biblical Hebrews. One definition of race is a group with common decent. Using the term in a derogatory way that belittles that group of people can be considered racism.

As long as you do not use the word to insult or belittle somebody, you can say jew. It does differ from "Nigg(a/er)" in this way because the word can still be mainly used as the correct term to identify a group of people.


Please get your definitions right. "Nigga'" is a sincere term of endearment between the collective mind who uses it. It is not stating nor defying an indifference between a race; it is rather eluding to companionship.

Yes, my intelligence is greater than yours. Do with it what you will.



So when some guy calls someone a "Nigga" and treats him or her in a demeaning way, we should be writing Hallmark cards about it? You obviously ignore the other definitions and connotations related to that word to pretend to find a flaw with our system. It is a flat out truth that people use and understand that term as derogatory, especially with the idiots who use it online because they can't think of a better comeback (nor are they even man enough to say that to a real person's face).

Stop acting like an idiot. It may give you a split second hard-on, but making yourself look stupid on the internet just isn't worth it. Your intelligence resembles a large pile of shit gathered from the deepest recesses of the 4 chan (or otherwise moronic) internet, which is quite ironic seeing how your head is shoved so far up your ass, you can almost see the light.





Alright, rant over.

If you just behave good, and you ain't ruining others their fun then nothing is wrong right?

You know yourself perfectly enough to know when you cross over the line, you don't have to know the rules for that.
Since the admins aren't our babysitters to tell us all the time to behave, that's just not needed IMO.

You play on someone else his server, so you also have to behave respectfully and have to respect the server rules!
If you can't live with it, than you might better leave and create your own server to use a bad behaviour on.

Hopefully your question has been answered, and hopefully it's all more clear for you now! ;)
