    No, you shouldn't get kicked for saying 'fgt', a verbal warning at most would be at hand if it isn't consistently used. Although, it is /technically/ a bypass of the filter, which is- sadly- a kickable offense, but only because of the over sensitive people that find everything rude and offensive.

    Sure, if it's used in a derogatory manner, kick them, but if it's a clear joke, then all the mod is doing is creating more hassle for themselves and the rest. What's more corrupt is that the term used is literally a pile of sticks. I'm bisexual, for instance, and I don't give a single crap about being called the so-called 'offensive' term. It's the last few generations that changed the entire meaning of it, basically it's your own fault for finding it offensive.

    Also, looking up a definition of said word;

    So basically, if you're straight and offended, just leave the server. If you're gay/bi and offended, get over it, unless of course it's intentionally derogatory.

    When quoting a dictionary, quote all the definitions, not just "a Definition" that fits your discourse ;) Even british dictionaries also state the definition the word has in American slang, always tagged "offensive", "derogative", "vulgar", "disparaging" or similar. Throughout the web. Longman even says "Very offensive. Do not use this word." :eek:

    I even went on page 2 of Google for you :p this is awkward :>

    It should depend on the way the word is used?

    Over sensitive people? Get over it? So many things I want to say right now. I'll limit myself to saying you're being very self-centered when you say that. I would get in trouble if I kept going.
    Other thing:
    The meaning of fgt as a bundle of sticks of a roll of seasoned chopped liver is archaic. Aka it's not in use anymore and was only referred to that a long time ago. Learn how to provide both sides of an argument, as it makes your point a lot more credible.

    The first result when you search definition of f***** on Google
    f***** - Dictionary Definition : Vocabulary.com
    "Should be used carefully or avoided entirely"
    Edit: no clue why that link is broken. Search it up on google if you don't believe me.

    Oh because this server is dedicated to insulting each other? I thought it was a G rated minecraft server. My bad then. :t

    HEY! This server is G-Rated!! This basically means that when a 6-year old logs off of it, he is not supposed to know new insults to ask their meaning to his mum! So if you can't get over the fact you're being kicked when saying this word, sorry folks, but it's you who are not supposed to be here!

    I don't have a problem with the "fgt" unless it's meant towards someone and they get offended by it.
    Also feel like it's fine for people to joke around using the word unless they are directing it towards someone.
    I could really care less other than that. ^

    noun: f*****
    1. a bundle of sticks or twigs bound together as fuel.
      • a bundle of iron rods bound together for reheating, welding, and hammering into bars.
    Why should this be kickable? It's just a pile of sticks. Straight from dictionary.com

    Noc and I have an on-going joke of calling eachother "fgr"s, I've been kicked for it maybe once. But it really depends on what mod is dealing with you.

    I agree with sunneh... And in all honesty it's the mods decision if they want to kick you or not. They are there I prevent things from breaking out, so kicking you for your choice in words is to keep people from getting offended.

    If you spam it or overuse it, Its not really ok...
    If you use it once, Eh? it may be fine.
    But what ever Ginger's reason she kicked you she has a reason for it, She's a mod after all,
    Cyp picks the people he think is right for the job.
