WoW, 1 warning is enough... But really? Kids are called "these" words in schools everyday, without trouble. How can you honestly ban someone permanently after 3 times... That is too harsh.

I personally think people need to develop thicker skin regarding game chat. Just ignore it, or foe the offender and move on. Are you people really that insecure that an insult from a faceless stranger on the intertronz hurts your wittle feelings?
I see this stuff all the time, it's not worth crying to the mods about. Quit being a baby. This game is about competition and domination. When I hear those words I do not think rainbows and unicorns.

I mean, surely they never hear offensive language on TV.

Gotta be honest with you...you DON'T know the real-world situation someone may be in. To simply tell them to get a thicker skin or quit being a baby is about as insensitive and moronic a proposition as I can think of.

Let's suppose for a minute I'm black and gay. If you were to call me both of the "horrible" slurs I already mentioned in this thread, I'm going to ignore you. I'm not going to go home and tell my mommy that Woodruff was mean to me. If you are any kind of minority, you're going to encounter bigoted people at some time or another. The over-protective mother-hen CC mods can't protect you when some racist a-hole berates you in person. Rather than have the mods of CC fight against the horrible injustices of being called a name, I'd deal with it the same way I do in real life. Ignore that person, and file away the knowledge that that person's opinions are valueless, because they are ignorant and closed-minded.
FTR, I am a minority, and I live in an area where racism and bigotry are as common as grits. Not that that is in any way relevant to this discussion.

I don't agree with thr suggestion but I gotta say I am quite surprised more words aret filtered. It's very easy to do for forums. (not sure on game chat)

Again, you don't know the real-world situation a person is in. Just being black and gay doesn't encompass the vast number if situations and issues that may be going on in an individual's life. Frankly, you just come across here like an insensitive jerk who is frustrated that he can't be a bigoted asshole on the site.

Filtering words is a useless exercise anyway. It's not like everyone can't figure out what the word was anyway. It truly is one of those fixes that doesn't fix a single thing.

Actually, I have called for this to be considered bigotry, but unfortunately the mods don't think it's possible to be bigoted against the mentally challenged.72o wrote:What does a particular person's immediate situation, and 'what's going on in their life' have to do with whether or not they should be able to deal with insults on the interwebz with some level of self-respect?

It doesn't.

It's not useless, when the whole point of the rule is to keep people from saying the forbidden word, because people are offended when they see the word. They are not offended when they see the word "hippo".

It doesn't TO YOU. Which is good, in my opinion. But not everyone is you, and that sort of thing absolutely can affect someone very strongly.

Some people are allergic to peanuts, and being around peanuts affects them very strongly. Maybe peanuts should be banned so those people aren't at risk.
