kroms001 99 Posted February 26, 2014 I read the rules/guidelines for posting on the forums and didn't notice anything about swearing, yet I do see plenty of posts getting edited by moderators/ or OPs that starred (*) out swear words which - to me at least is quite perplexing given that this is obviously a MA game. Go on any server, anywhere on planet earth for DayZ, the four the letter word population is greater than that of Zeds in Chernarus. Why moderate a mature audiences game on a forum when everyone and their mother/father/daughter/brother is swearing up a storm in game? Kinda defeats the purpose of the grittiness of the game/world and artistic representation of some points that you are trying to get across to forum audiences as well. This isn't a game for children, and the forums shouldn't be a place for them either. This is a game that draws on the dynamics of a collapsed civilized people being driven by instinct and a need to survive. If swearing offends someone who is shooting, looting, stealing, backstabbing, and killing - well that is just: stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crooked Hauser 258 Posted February 26, 2014 It's usually for personally derogatory remarks instead of just saying cuss words. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strongtent 74 Posted February 26, 2014 You see motherfucker, - if you form words eloquently to the fucking point of pure fucking pleasure for reading, then I suppose its acceptable. A title giving no context with cursing is just childish. That's my fucking opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kroms001 99 Posted February 26, 2014 It's usually for personally derogatory remarks instead of just saying cuss words.I can understand that; but I have seen issues where someone was talking about an in game experience and it gets moderated. I do believe in moderation of derogatory remarks at other posters, sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samuri_Bake_Pie 96 Posted February 26, 2014 I beleive as long as it is not racist, or *too* personally hostile its all fair. Once someone is like "Nigga you are a little bitch cunt ho" it's excessive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted February 26, 2014 As others have stated, this is a mature forum. The mods try not to let things get too out of hand and as a poster previously stated, using swearing to insult another poster is usually frowned upon. Hell, I got my first warning point for calling someone a dickhead who insisted on arguing with me even tho I was nice and polite throughout until me calling them a dickhead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, and maybe I saw a little over moderation - but it is good that you can swear tho ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demoth 366 Posted February 26, 2014 I am actually fairly surprised we're allowed to curse, though I agree thst cursing AT people is not acceptable.I appreciate heavy moderation though, as forums tend to get insane when mods sleep. People think the 1st Amendment means you can say whatever you want, where ever you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16186 Posted February 26, 2014 Hello there We tolerate swearing, some mods more than others. But it has to be in context and depending on how its used it can earn you a point or time off. But if you feel you have been unfairly moderated then simply contact a Green mod or even a different Blue mod and we will take it through our "abuse allegation process". We do actually investigate these rather than putting them in the bin as one might think. I myself actually swore for the first time in my years of moderating in a fairly recent post. No one noticed. See if you can find it. Never the less, there are some words we will not tolerate nor will we allow direct or personal insults. Personally, I think swearwords lose their power if you over use them and are best saved for special occasions, but that's just me. Lastly, there are many things not in the written rules which are not tolerated, we dont want to be a forum which operates to some "BOOK OF THE LAW". This isnt Mega City One. In general, just be fabulous to eachother and we will all get on fine. oh, im gonna lock this as its full of dirtybird words and rather pointless. Bottoms.
