hoe noun a long-handled gardening tool with a thin metal blade, used mainly for weeding. verb use a hoe to dig (earth) or thin out or dig up (plants). eat eagerly. I've been kicked many times for saying "hoe". A hoe is also a minecraft tool! It's probably rare to see someone kicked for saying "hoe" but I've seen it many times. If it's inappropriate does that mean I cannot auction my DC of hoes?
It depends on context. If used in a derogatory way, like "____ is a hoe", then you will be kicked. You won't be kicked for "buying a diamond hoe". Yes, mods are humans and not robots, and we do know how to differentiate between words used to annoy/insult vs words used in benign conversation.
The word "hoe" is not punishable if used the way it's supposed to be used. However, if you use "hoe" for the derogatory version of it, (I think you all the word lmao) it's punishable.
Like Keranha said. Depends on how you were saying it. Not saying you are but don't be one of those people who swindle their way out of things because there is more then one definition of the word hoe or ho, doesn't matter as to so much of the word being stated, its more of if you're using in an offense towards other players or in a hostile manner. Also, I wouldn't mind so much if it was a kick. It's only a kick. But keep in mind mods can kick you if they feel you're being hostile or what not. If you have an issue or wish to tall about what you said with the kick you should pm the mod and maturly discuss the issue.
Yes and no. It is exactly what Kera said. Because the word has double meaning and one is derogatory it all depends on the context. I allow people to use it in a joking manner but if they get offensive with it, they get kicked. We don't tolerate the "but hoe means a garden tool" when clearly it was not used in that manner. It is a low level offensive word.
I disagree... Since it is a tool you use on skyblock, I think we should be allowed to use that word. But, If you use it in the wrong way. You should get kicked and get warnings for language. As it could be used in a offensive way
