Hey everyone,
The other day, while in the game as a player, I sent a tell to someone. I asked them to refrain from swearing, as it could be offensive to some of our players.
Now, the response I got wasn't all that nice. I can certainly understand that No one likes to be told off for having a "potty mouth" and, I also see how my bringing it up could be a indication of my spiritual beliefs.
Now I feel it necessary to say, that as a 36 year old, who served in the U.S. Navy for 4 years, there is nothing that any of you could type, that would offend me. I could show each of you how to peal paint from a wall with foul language. I choose not to use it on the server, as it would be disrespectful. I don't know everyone well enough to know whether they would be offended, or not. I choose to be respectful, and show some caution.
With all the new players we have had lately, sometimes as many as 40 on at once, please, please set a good example and show what our server is about. Refrain from possibly offending someone, by just not typing something that could be offensive. If you have an absolute need to swear, log out of the server, swear 'til it's out of your system, then come back in. This will not only help you avoid annoying tells from others about your language usage cluttering your screen, but also won't give new players the impression that it is alright to use inappropriate language on the mod.
Thank you.
SHO
