To Pang:
Thank you for your message.
First: Respect.
Second: Is there a list anywhere, that show what words are not to be used on this private service?
If you said: You can never use the word "crap" again, then you can bet your shank bone steak (could't think of another phrase for Gluteous maximus) I would never use that word in a psychological warfare message to some piece of utter garbage that attacked my country, unprovoked and out of the blue, in this war game where we obscenely kill each other.
I'm not trying to argue because I would still like to continue to play the game, but I think that it is fair to say that what you judge as obscene, somebody else might not.
A Plumber once told me, (and this is the truth) that: "What is feces to you is bread and butter to me."
(he actually used the word starting with S and ending with T for feces, but I know that I am on thin ice so, fearing the headsman's axe I, please take note, did not write the word).
If you said that in a room of old ladies knittings quilts, I'm sure they would be horrified.
If you said that in a room full of plumbers, they would probably laugh, consider it shop talk, and agree.
So ultimately, what you and the other Gods might deem obscene or inappropriate, due to your individual upbringings, might have no intellectual consequence or impact to others, especially to a game full of guys that are trying to kill each other.
Does that seem reasonable?
If you had a list of banned vocabulary that could be clearly communicated to the players, then you would probably never have another problem with what you might deem as obscene.
If you don't want to do that... well, that's acceptable as well.
If that is the case could you please communicate to this community that anything that is written will be subjected to the subjectivity of the moderators.
If this is too much, why not let the accused have due process and stand before a limited time poll thread of his or her peers for Judgment? Sort of like a fair democracy. If the majority thinks a vocabulary word is punishable by deletion... then, so be it. If not, the player lives to kill another day.
If none of this is possible, maybe just say, "None of this is possible" and like, under Obama, we can operate here in Plato's Cave under a pseudo-dictatorship.
Lastly, let me just say, please pardon some of my sarcasm. I do love this game, want to continue to play, and think the Mods are very nice people all in all, despite being a little touchy.
I am asking for help and guidance so that I can continue to play.
Thank you in advance.
