  1. On the topic of slurs themselves, I personally see no benefit to using words like forementioned, unless you are trying to start a disruption in the population. In this case, we can likely shut that down immediately, since disrupting the community and starting a "mutiny" isn't really accepted (speaking on a specific case that all rooted from one word). I apologize for attempting to be all diplomatic, but realistically those that cannot function in a community without demeaning other's shouldn't be in that community. However, trying to ban every word that exists in the world that has this type of power is evidentally extremely difficult, and of course we will see complaints such as how "limiting" it is. In this case, I propose making the rule(s) that deal with these terms "derogatory terms are not allowed," plain and simple since those who want to "rebel" against it will have to find new reasoning, and everyone else is (we can only hope) satiated.

    I rephrase, the only point to defending the use of such words is essentially to be contrary, which is only fun for those who find fun in defying structure. This means that they will attempt to use and defend slurs and tabooed words to fight against "the system". Banning and restricting the use of these taboos will seem to only start more avid arguments in the future, again only to be contrary. It is alot easier to do your job as staff when the very rules you uphold are described specifically. Our rules on slurs/derogatories specifically and disrespect generally are "Racism is not allowed. Disrespect, harassment or trolling is not tolerated and may result in a punishment. Trolling is unallowed. (The definition of trolling is to the discretion of the moderator, and can include intentionally being annoying, antagonizing players, impersonation of staff members, spoiling the ending of games or movies, etc.)".  This leaves alot of option on what isn't allowed and what is up to personal discretion, which isn't the most trustworthy or respected at times, so revising it would define a clearer image of "don't say this". Makes most everyone's life easier.

    +1 to revising the rules that speak of disrespect/combining them.

    Neutral on banning any specific term(s).

    What people still don't seem to grasp is that you are able to walk away. If it annoys someone to the point where they feel the need to cry they arent bound to that platform, they can move.  It's not killing anyone, it's not disrupting balance, it's NOT an exploit, it's just noise.  That's it.

    Otherwise, because its a simple fix and no reason to keep it in other than the minority wanting it, why not remove it?

    Idk, it makes a vaguely boring time period more interesting and there's no real complaint other than "it's loud". 

    If your version of interesting is anything except normality then yes, I agree. Otherwise, because its a simple fix and no reason to keep it in other than the minority wanting it, why not remove it?

    I bet you guys are the type of people to go to a rock concert and then complain that it's "too loud"

    I agree, 100%. Except, there's not a correspondence between an expected loudness and an unexpected disruption of peace. The disruption of the peace is a real life law, though that does not correlate.


  4. I guess I should also say that while your points are correct, there isn't a full reason for us to not remove a minor annoyance. Why should we keep an annoyance in the servers if its annoying?

    There isn’t a way for the charge to be harmful considering it’s mostly done in the farthest corner of spawns, and that anyone is physically able to walk away or simply move slightly to hear. There is literally no way for it to stem something worse since it’s pretty cut and dry. There is also no way for it to be game ruining since majority of players do not even load in for the full 20 seconds and the map resets everyone back to spawn and wasd frozen. The chance of something happening in that time span is slim to none, you can’t even finish any of the surf maps in that time.

    If there is no real benefit to the exploit, then why even bother defending it? There is no benefit I can see other than "lol lets trigger people by being loud".

    The only reason I see for you arguing to keep this functioning is for the sake of arguing.

    That makes no sense whatsoever. If you're ''wasd frozen'' then how the hell is the demo spam even happening? Everyone is wasd frozen (which means no demo spam atm) so that point is immediately invalid. And with that, you can still simply walk away from the sound and do what ever.

    If I remember correctly, at the start (very beginning, everyone was frozen) of a round of surf_toast, you and others were doing said exploit, meaning that this is invalid as well.

    As for the overall vote, +1 for removal since it is an exploit. This means it is somewhat against rules, and since it is also spam it is more "harmful" than other exploits, meaning it has the potential to be game ruining. Not saying that is the case now, but if it evolves into something worse, there will be worse consequences.

    And something strange I see is that people are calling it "fun" to do this. How in any way, shape, or form is being obnoxiously loud in an exploit for the soul purpose of rebelling against server constructs fun?


  6.  honestly i know we don't really care for eachother, as people and as players. however i'm fine with putting that to the side (which means dont try to start poop on your own thread, at least dm me) in the case that you really want to try to be in the community again. i'll give it a +1, based on the fact that it does seem like you're trying, but don't blow your chances. 
    by the way the A/M thing is required so A:8 M:7

      Hey everyone, how are you all doing?

      That isn't rhetorical, I want replies of how you are doing when you read this. And this isn't a simple gag either, since I'm trying to show anyone reading this that I care about the community, and I have for the last 3 years (again, give or take). You see, being in this community for so long has invested me in a way I never thought possible and it's truly stellar how I've made such amazing friends through this clan. I feel that, while not necessary, the position of Moderator would not only integrate me within the community in a completely new way, but also represents the passion and care that anyone with the position gives for the servers, and the people. As always, I will genuinely read and improve upon any criticism given, so please dump your thoughts!

      Happy 4th of July as well!

    The rule, as I remember, is for you to have at least 12 hours before applying. I recommend in servers you type /rank to check your total hours, then update it here!

    examples???

    Uber Upgrades, during when Tuna was still mod, whenever I killed him, I spammed "lel". Instead of warning me, he proceeded to get upset at me and near insult me downright, infront of other servergoers.

    Pokemon Trade, before he was mod. Being disrespectful to many players that killed him and was unpleasing to be around.

    As I said, he has definitely changed and I'm more than settled on giving him a positive vouch. Examples seem unnecissary when I'm intent on being positive.

    Also, what grammatical error is there in my post? If you want to give me bad ratings to lower my rank, at least be upfront about it.


  9. I'm quite mixed on this, Tuna.

    While I definitely will give you the fact that you were a good staff last time you were, I'll be hesitant only because there have been multiple scenarios where you have been less than mature. However, I have seen you on alot more lately and honestly, you've gotten better with your mood, leaning more towards a positive vouch for now.

    +1


  10. Sorry man, I haven't seen you at all. And that isn't a good thing either, considering and including that when you ARE on, the input here (from those who do not lie) is consistent in saying you are insensitive. I can say, with me being on every day for the past week and not seeing you at all, that inactivity isn't going to get you anywhere, trust me. On another note, I won't vouch since I don't have a good idea on how ingrained you are to the community, but good luck on the rest of the time this thread is up.
