Edited by: Frug on 23/11/2008 05:17:56 I've always been confused and annoyed by CCPs position on swearing. The forum filters are ******ed and overbearing. I've been warned for swearing in local, which I also thought was lame.
Why, then, DOES A MISSION AGENT SAY THE WORD **** IN THE MISSION TEXT?
And I quote:
"There's this guy who's making these really, truly gigantic ice sculptures - some kinda artsy ****, I don't know."
WHY THE **** DO I GET IN TROUBLE FOR TALKING LIKE THAT IN LOCAL IF YOUR AGENTS CAN SAY IT?
God damn get your **** straight.
Edit: the mission is 'ice installation' and no I'm not complaining about the ****ing mission, i'm saying I should be allowed to swear. - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome, say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Hey, my marbles |

Evidence would suggest that the people writing the missions are not the same people determining what the forum filter censors. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3) |

I know, I know.
It's more about the hypocrisy of their whole attitude toward it. They're not against swearing but they put on this facade of pretending to be to placate some weird section of their audience who might be offended, despite that section being an extreme minority and that not really being in line with image of the game or the age range it's intended for.
Edit: I didn't just bring up forum filters, I brought up in-game petitions as well. You're not supposed to say **** in local.

It's funny cause when you use quote you can see what's being censored.

South Park has tought us that it is very bad to say **** too much so now it must be censored again. Bad things happen otherwise.

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 23/11/2008 05:51:45 tbh I have a thing for kung fu movies and actresses who play ****ty characters on screen but IRL are actually quite respectable for other reasons.
edit: oh I'm sorry I thought this thread was for making fragments of rants that include wordfiltered words or something whatever i dunno

Edited by: Karrade Krise on 23/11/2008 06:07:19 First off, I just noticed if you swear in the title, it shows up at the top of my browser :P
Secondly, I feel we should form our own swear words similar to what they did in Battlestar Galatica or even Farscape.
I vote...
****-Flake ****-Gran R@pe-Mandle==Like getting man-handled.
Anyone think of anything else? 
So with that...Flake you, you pieces of Gran, I'll Mandle you all!
 
EDIT I see the filter is on overdrive...

you wanna talk hypocrisy? they censor swearing on the forums, but not in the game
or on eve voice. or on my teamspeak.
how messed up is that? it's almost like context, format, and medium matter. --

I'd say cursing and swearing is for the less educated.
Balance is important, but you will always adapt to changing circumstances and you don't whine about stuff you can't change. |

They also swear like a mother ****er at fanfest.
I am all in favor of cursing like a sailor. I'm a ****ing adult. If I can drink, smoke, jerk off and **** then I can stomach a little foul language. Or a lot.
But avoiding it on the forums is not totally unreasonable since that provides a direct window to the outside world and search engines and it's not crazy to want to not come across as an unwelcoming bunch of corner thugs, too.

Probably because players just don't randomly swear in local, the majority of the time they are in heated arguments, smack talking, verbally abusing people etc...

Yes, because the F word only has impact if you're a mouth-breather. Give me a ****ing break.

Does Iceland have declared freedom of speech? Of course, even if they do - it's irrelevant. Freedom of speech means no government restriction. Doesn't mean my company can't prevent you from doing so in my establishment.
Also, I think you meant to say FREEDOM OF ******.
