i've had more people say "i'm going to suck your dick" in siege than in any other game i have played [editline]3rd March 2018[/editline] like, i hear more people on siege talk about how they want to suck dicks than i have anywhere else
I kinda would disagree on this cause videogames are for reliving stress and calling someone fag really feels nice after 8 hours in church
[QUOTE=Hammer7;53175342]I'm surprised people aren't getting banned/punished for teabagging and hitting dead enemies with melee. Mean players will stay mean and forced "good behavior" will only increase the toxicity.[/QUOTE] That's unsportman's like behaviour. It's a dick thing to do, but it's hardly hurtful to anyone besides their ego. On the other hand, calling someone a nigger, faggot, or telling them to go die or that your family all needs to burn in a house fire, is quite different.
[QUOTE=Hammer7;53175342]Mean players will stay mean and forced "good behavior" will only increase the toxicity.[/QUOTE] It's not really the game rules problem, if not being able to yell out "nigger" or "faggot" at someone after being outplayed in a videogame makes you an angrier and more unstable person, that's pretty weird, don't you think [editline]4th March 2018[/editline] also it's not forcing good behavior, it's preventing bad behavior, stop misinterpreting things like that guy that thinks warning labels are death threats from the government lmao

Somehow I'm not surprised you have an anime avatar that's also a Nazi. You're worthless. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming" - Novangel))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;53174343]There’s no ignore button in Siege, and there’s no way to ignore people who follow you around outside of Siege being a homophobic and racist asshole. More games and companies need to combat discrimination. I don’t care about “safe spaces”, im just tired of people calling me a faggot because I’m a different orientation.[/QUOTE] I got called a faggot countless times yet I'm not a different orientation. I'm still here. This is just some unironic "christian game no swearing" garbage. All it's going to accomplish is people are going to be more unironically toxic in response.
fuck, i'm going to get banned because i use the word faggot all the time...(in a non derogatory way)
[QUOTE=space1;53180266]fuck, i'm going to get banned because i use the word faggot all the time...(in a non derogatory way)[/QUOTE] Okay, simple solution: don't do that
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;53180434]Okay, simple solution: don't do that[/QUOTE] or they could stop over policing my speech and allow me and my gay friends to call eachother whatever we want to be called
[QUOTE=space1;53180266]fuck, i'm going to get banned because i use the word faggot all the time...(in a non derogatory way)[/QUOTE] Yeah totally dude, sometimes I shout nigger when I get killed. In a non derogatory way of course.
[QUOTE=space1;53181119]or they could stop over policing my speech and allow me and my gay friends to call eachother whatever we want to be called[/QUOTE] Just don't do it over in game chat and you'll be fine
[QUOTE=space1;53181119]or they could stop over policing my speech and allow me and my gay friends to call eachother whatever we want to be called[/QUOTE] You wouldn't talk about niggers and faggots in a bar or a restaurant because there would be consequences Just follow the same principle
[QUOTE=space1;53181119]or they could stop over policing my speech and allow me and my gay friends to call eachother whatever we want to be called[/QUOTE] or you could change your sense of humor to not rely on slurs as a crutch for actually good humor
[QUOTE=space1;53181119]or they could stop over policing my speech and allow me and my gay friends to call eachother whatever we want to be called[/QUOTE] yeah sometimes i scream "the holocaust never happened but I wish it had" constantly over voice and chat text with a script spamming it all game but it's all in good fun and it's okay because I have a 1/10th jewish friend that says it's funny
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;53181675]or you could change your sense of humor to not rely on slurs as a crutch for actually good humor[/QUOTE] i don't rely on it, it's just something my friends and i tend to do. [QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;53181736]yeah sometimes i scream "the holocaust never happened but I wish it had" constantly over voice and chat text with a script spamming it all game but it's all in good fun and it's okay because I have a 1/10th jewish friend that says it's funny[/QUOTE] we're all actually very gay, and some of us(like me) are mtf transgender so I don't really know what you're all trying to prove. I guess I'm just secretly homophobic and hate myself and my friends. [QUOTE=Michael haxz;53181588]You wouldn't talk about niggers and faggots in a bar or a restaurant because there would be consequences Just follow the same principle[/QUOTE] except that the audience inside the game determines the rules, not some store owner. if it makes people uncomfortable I don't say it because down south(or in europe) my understanding is that it's a serious thing, but up here around philly everyone just says it regularly. [QUOTE=Scratch.;53181436]Just don't do it over in game chat and you'll be fine[/QUOTE] it's gonna be so hard to remember this inbetween all the different games i play. i just hope this doesn't become the standard, since i would prefer to stay 100% ban free.
[QUOTE=space1;53182557]i just hope this doesn't become the standard,[/QUOTE] I sure hope it does
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;53182588]I sure hope it does[/QUOTE] valve has the right approach where reports = mute/textchat bans. you shouldn't permanently be locked out of something they paid for. autobanning for words is something this very website did in the past and was removed for a very good reason.
[QUOTE=space1;53182682]you shouldn't permanently be locked out of something they paid for.[/QUOTE] You have no right to continued access to a game if you break TOS.
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;53182688]You have no right to continued access to a game if you break TOS.[/QUOTE] do you actually believe that level of corporate control to be acceptable?
[QUOTE=space1;53182810]do you actually believe that level of corporate control to be acceptable?[/QUOTE] If you start shit in a restaurant, it doesn't matter whether you paid for your food or not you're gonna get kicked the fuck out. How hard is it to have some level of self control and not yell slurs at people?

How hard is it to have some level of self control and not yell slurs at people?[/QUOTE] except nobody said we're yelling slurs at people. this system would allow for you to be autobanned simply for having said a word on a blacklist. read what i'm saying and base your argument within the confines of what i'm saying, not what you think i'm advocating for. how about we ban the players who actively disrupt play?
[QUOTE=space1;53182892] how about we ban the players who actively disrupt play?[/QUOTE] We can both prevent players from disrupting fair play and stop idiots from using slurs in public spaces. These aren't mutually exclusive things we can do.
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;53182920]We can both prevent players from disrupting fair play and stop idiots from using slurs in public spaces. These aren't mutually exclusive things we can do.[/QUOTE] nobody said they were? what's your point? that all "offenses" should be seen on the exact same level, with no variance in punishment? is your game suddenly ruined enough to steal 20$ from some 12 year old who shouts "nigger" at the start of a pubg match???
1900's: No Service for Blacks -> Problem for blacks 2000's: No Service for discriminating Blacks -> Problem for ??????
[QUOTE=space1;53182810]do you actually believe that level of corporate control to be acceptable?[/QUOTE] If you don't want to respect corporations' right to refuse service to anyone, you can play games not made by corporations.
I dunno what this will accomplish in the long run, people will change the words they use and make new insults that aren't filtered.
[QUOTE=gazzy_GUI;53183338]I dunno what this will accomplish in the long run, people will change the words they use and make new insults that aren't filtered.[/QUOTE] you can still just manually report people for behaviour, have been I think since whitenoise
While I am a complete advocate for trying to eliminate negativity and toxicity in a game, I really do not think censorship is the way to go
