    I've been seeing a lot of cursing, with donors, and not a lot of them get kicked, or really told anything. I was looking over in game, and seen two others, who will not be named, just having a casual conversation, and they so happened to be cussing. No one really was saying anything, but when I had asked them kindly to stop cursing, they kinda laughed at me, like I had made a joke of some sort. I just want to know, are donors allowed to curse? Do they have different rules to go against, due to their rank? If not, they why do they get away with it so often?

    This is an open discussion, anyone can comment, I don't wanna start any drama, or what not. I would like for this to remain peaceful. If any issues outbreak I request a moderator lock this.

    The servers are rated G , The rules state that cussing and inappropriate language in global chat is not allowed and nobody is above the rules besides Crew and Cyp. So no its not allowed and if seen a mod should be kicking,muting or warning them. If you have a problem and it evolves someone spamming or excessively cursing you could always /ignore the person if a moderator is too busy or isn't online to handle them. XD Personally I don't pay attention to chat on .Net unless I'm trading or I want to say hi to someone. (.Org player here)

    Donors get away with too much.

    There is a lot of unintentional bias on the server.

    I agree with that as well, but I think the mods are doing the best they can.

    Donors get reprimanded a lot more than you think. Yeah, sometimes they get away with "murder" but, often they will get warned, kicked, etc. when a staff member is online. Also, When mods are online they tend to warn people through PM so we really can't see it.

    I;m not gonna say who but a previous mod sweared alot, and I asked why he's not G-rated, he didn't care.

    But, I see less of it unless... I guess Satan is on?

    It's being taken care of,

    This is a discussion, not a report or a thread meant to call anyone out. I tend to keep it that way

    Akrill lmao.

    Anyway you cannot see who gets kicked or not. Generally by time you have told them not to swear they have been kicked and are connecting to the server again. By time you check they would have connected again. Plus mods kicked who they see. Chat doesnt move slowly if you have social spy or you are concentrating on helping people. The filter is there to help us.

    Not all mods will announce who is kicked. If you wish to cuss and a mod catches you, then you are kicked generally then muted if you continue.

    This thread does annoy me greatly. You should know the answer to this already. If it says swearing is not permitted then it is not permitted and mods enforce that rule on everyone. Assuming that we give special treatment to donors on simple rules like swearing is actually pretty insulting. I cant speak for every mod, but I know many of us would not let anyone get away with it, including donors.
    tl;dr? you swear, you will get warned or punished. simple.

    It shouldn't annoy you, and there are ways to see if a player was kicked. /seen is there always. I've personally seen a lot of donors just get away with it more.

    Every single player is not allowed to cuss, as stated in the rules. Period.


    Sometimes, net mods have some trouble. They can't do everything at once, only the things they can do at the moment.

    By the way, have the ever done /seen on a greenbean?

    I am entitled to my opinion as all players are.
    Just from experience alone:
    • I have kicked both donors and non donors for swearing
    • I have let non donors and donors get away with swearing (if they get stopped by the filter and it wasnt excessive)
    • I have sometimes not seen a donor swear but a greenie has so i kicked them
    • I have sometimes not seen a non donor swear, but a donor has to i kicked them
    • Sometimes I have warned a donor not to swear but have used kick on a non donor (only as the non donor was spamming too)
    • I have always punished people who overuse swear words no matter the ranks. Ive done this to all ranks. No one has been immune to it and will never be immune.
    There are reasons why donors "get away" with it. And the most likely reason is there are less donors swearing and spamming, greenies tend to fill up the chat fast so a donor who swears once is not seen by a mod and other such factors. A mod sees it, then we can act. It is always nice to have some proof.

    I guess if they continue to do it over and over, they will get kicked/banned. Some people who are donors are generally like that, it's in their personality.

    I can see where she is getting annoyed. She's saying that you can't see who gets kicked or not, so you can't make an accusation/statement without getting evidence.
    People log back on within 5 seconds; you can't tell anything without seeing the kick itself.
    As previously said, you can't assume that without having evidence
    --
    I'm going to be completely honest here and say that some of the moderators will not kick the offenders - whether it be donor or non-donor - because they don't want to deal with another situation, which is, "How is **** even a swear word?" They make a huge fuss about it, but personally I just ignore it; and, as sad as it may be, people making a big issue out of a small thing shouldn't make you want to not do your job.

    I do admit, I tend to cuss a lot in chat sometimes. I have been kicked a few of the times.
    But every mod does their work differently. But sometimes, when someone cusses and it wasn't very offensive, maybe just a warning will do.

    Well, the thing is, I don't find swearing a big deal. I mean, we all swear at some point. Plus, unless you're spamming 'f*ck', I don't really find it mute or kick worthy, js.
    Swearing isn't going to hurt anyone.

    I see what you're getting at Lemonade, and doing /seen does tell you how long the player has been online. I'm not saying mods are not kicking donors, but I mean, it as I see a lot of donors just cussing, which made me think that they either really don't care or it's allowed.
    Cussing isn't a big deal, Chiyami, but if you call yourself a G-Rated server, then you live up to it, so you mods have to do what they have to. Donors are like the people, non-donor's look up to, so if they see a donor cussing, like it's no big deal, it might not set the right example for them.
    I know mods are doing the best they can, and Krissy_ this wasn't about mods not doing their jobs, I just want you to know that.
    The main thing is, is that I see donor's bypassing filters, more than anything. So much of seeing ;} or **** is not really bothering, it's more of seeing;
    You get my point, lol.

    Sure, I bet some donors feel above the rules, but that doesnt mean Cursing in game is directly only for donors. Many unranked curse and get away with it as well.

    Our job is to report those people who feel like they can openly curse to protect the community, donors or not.

    This is the problem; the greenies (some) don't give a single s*** about being banned/muted. They didn't donate, why should they care. There are a few greenies that do care but a majority don't. Donors on the other hand, do care. They donated, they don't want to get banned. They want to keep playing for what they paid for. Generally greenies are punished more often as they are despised, donors don't really have a reputation for being a total prick. Anyway, the moral is: greenies, punished more often and have a bad reputation. Donors, have a better reputation for donating and are seen as more mature. The donor s*** is bullshit, because there's quite a few donors who are VERY immature.

    My opinion; I hate that greenies are being accused of being bad players because of some stereotypical s***.
