    People that have alike interests help us prosper. People enjoy the games in the community, so we talk about it. Why not add something else? It's one more bot and I don't think it will hurt anyone.

     It'd be a nice addition to be honest. For those who talk in #anime a lot.

    The problem is that you cant redirect the bot post for WaifuBot like you can PokeCord. It'll show up wherever people are typing ;;

    In all seriousness, groups aside, +1 pretty nice dude & doesn't cause any serious issues often as far as I've seen. M:7 A:8 

    Aside: I believe the Nozomi thing isn't based on behavior - that's most likely a non xG issue based on other things ive seen.

    Seg its a jokey joke

    My instances of argueing with staff are be cause you act irresponsible with how you inforce that rule shutting down people who you think “cause issues” (which is incredibly vague reasoning) and then when someone tries to explain that they didn’t do anything you punish them. That’s why I’m makin a thread on it in about 2 weeks.

    Please do.

    Please ban every word in this list.

    The terminology of a slur is incredibly broad, the concept of banning all slurs is not as simple as disallowing a small handful of words. Cunt is a genderphobic slur. Tranny is a sexual slur. Cheesehead and hillbilly are ethnic slurs. Disallowing the great variety of words that can easily be defined as a slur is something that has been in the community narrowed down to a number of notable ethnic slurs, but why is that? As far as I believe, expectations of behavior derived from societal norms. It is not uncommon to see a variety of words such as bitch and fag that can be defined as slurs be used openly to an extent they are words you can hear multiple times a day and nothing would be out of the norm. Breaking out some of the more notorious racial slurs such as chink, kike, or nigger are not something you will see used at all by a much greater extent and are viewed negatively practically universally. Ethnic slurs like this have a much stronger taboo rooted to them that sees even uttering them as unacceptable, a taboo which faggot does not have to the same extent. Famous pieces of literature such as "To Kill a Mocking Bird" and "Huckleberry finn" (and other works of Mark Twain I believe) have received such censorship over these slurs to see them banned from schools in more then one occasion, while this is not the case for sexual and gender slurs. To put it simply, faggot is just not seen negatively to the same extent as the aforementioned racial and ethnic slurs by society as a whole. 

    The etymology of the word faggot has received harsher criticism over time of course, but so have a great many. Autistic is very often used in an equally negative sense and is viewed harshly because of this. The same goes for retard, though to a much greater extent in recent times to the point the word is discouraged to be used entirely in some places even when not used in a direct negative way. Banning faggot would be hypocritical in itself if we did not take into consideration other words that exist on similar levels of disdain within society these days, but what is the likely hood that this community is going to view such words in such an extreme light?

    This community has spent at least two years functioning fine in this same mindset that faggot does not necessarily quantify the same connotation as the racial slurs we don't allow. It by all means can and is used in an insulting and disrespectful manner, just like practically anything can, and the situations that this happens have always been handled appropriately without having to resort to such an extremity as this. The only reason I would personally feel it is a necessary act would be if we believed either the community was incapable of behaving in a mature enough manner to use this word without absolutely meaning it to be derogatory or if it was believed our staff were incapable of properly knowing how to differentiate between the two cases. Otherwise, it is straight up a matter of constraints on the entire population for the personal felt benefit of a smaller portion. The phrasing "xG is becoming safe space" is an extreme way of expressing it's intended concept, but in this case at it's root that phrasing is entirely accurate. 

    We're not saying "ban every word that's considered a slur". We should ban the words that are commonly used to demean people so everyone feels welcomed. There's a nice hand full of people on our servers who don't like this word being used wether it's "jokingly" or not. Everytime someone's like to say "oh you fucking faggot" or "what are you a faggot?" makes someone feel that their in the wrong because of their sexuality. Our clan/servers are suppose to make people feel welcomed, their suppose to have fun. They shouldn't have to worry that they'll be ridiculed or not. 

    Maybe we should go through that list and ban a good amount of slurs. No one should be making fun of people for the way they choose to live their life. 

    Like Queen said, there's been many of times we've muted/gaged people for saying the N word, then someone asks why another person wasn't gagged for "faggot". We have to come around full circle or we just look silly. Also, we have alot of actual children who play on our servers. Wether the games we play are rated M or not, we have to keep that in mind. You get a 12 year old running around calling people faggots and not know any better? That's just not right lol

    Who do you think you are?
    Runnin' 'round leaving scars
    Collecting your jar of hearts
    And tearing love apart
    You're gonna catch a cold
    From the ice inside your soul
    So don't come back for me
    Who do you think you are?

    Constantly likes to talk over people, to the point where he'll "sush" someone just so he can talk, and start arguments. He's had a pretty big comms ban history in the past few weeks. He needs to work on these things before we should consider him as a member

    You LEFT the server after a few minutes of Maf finding you. You rejoined and Maf had still not received the item. We waited about 5 minutes, and Maf had still not received anything. You were banned for a day. And then I received this lovely screenshot

    I'd like to propose a longer ban.

    1. MGE or 6's/Highlander server (this is mostly for us to play scheduled xG 6's or highlander games on our own).

    3. Slender Fortress.

    We've had 1 and 3 before! Slender Fortress is fun, but people tend to play FF2/VSH more than Slender Fortress that I've seen over the time we had it. People change over time so maybe bringing it back wouldn't be a bad idea!

    We currently DO have a Highlander server from back when we use to have a team. Its just locked since its only used for scrims/games! Feel free to try to put together a team and you'd be welcome to use it!

    -----

    I think we should try to find a GM that most other servers DON'T have! That may cause us to dig a little, but its always fun to find new stuff~

    -----

    My suggestions: (Disclaimer, These videos are old)

    (Ironically) A strange farming server:

    A lot of people are always looking for some kind of these servers, So there'd always be some kind of population. Usually, players trade scrap for time and kinda just, do the do. I've been on a few of these kind of servers and people never seem to cause a problem. But of course, we have !calladmin if anything does happen. We should have ad for !servers pop up more often on this server! If we're looking for a new population, I think a server like this wouldn't be too bad lol

    Basketball:

    I dont /THINK/ we've had this kind of server before. A lot of our players like rocket jumping and the challenge, So I think introducing this kind of server for at least a test run wouldn't be a bad idea! 

    -----

    FortWars!

    I've never seen a game mode like this before! This sounds like a super fun creative GM that people can have fun on for hours! I would also suggest maybe setting up a test server for this!

    -----

    Sandbox!

    People like to RP on TGH a lot, So I think a GM like this wouldn't hurt! 

     

    xG needs some things that are new too us, honestly. People probably only know us for JB/TGH, so bringing in a GM never seen on our servers would be a great start!
