It has been a family based game since Kija took over, he put in the filter in hope that the topics will stay so that the little kids that play the game can play without other people Swearing a storm on Wsay. It's been like that since....well I forget but a long ass time now.

Yeah so its been there since '03. If you got here before '03 you would be lucky and be able to bypass all you want and not get into so much trouble, for 2 years.

Is cursing all that necessary in the first place, anyway? I still do it sometimes, but 95% of the time I curse out loud it is to add to the value of a joke. (Apparently it is hilarious if you can time saying 'Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck' just right.) Either way, you shouldn't be doing it so much that a censor causes trouble, really. Curse words are 'powerful' words, in a sense, and it loses that power when you toss a ****-**** here, a ****-**** there, a ****-**** everywhere including the ****-**** pig pen. It's just not as much power as strategically tossing a **** in the one place people least expect it but is generally overly beneficial for you. On that topic, I know someone that called a teacher an asshole and didn't get in trouble just because of the perfect timing of it all. Edit: Censored certain ****-**** words which popped up way too many ****-**** times in my ****-**** rant.

No, it isn't. Saying it as a joke is kind of okay. If your gunna joke about it say it to someone you at least know, if you joke about it to someone you dont know, then they might take it for real.
I myself, are trying to quit cursing, but apparently its really hard too. Its like someone who smoked all their lives trying to stop all of a sudden. I havent said any F bombs in at least a week and a half. Thats an improvement but then there's some real immature people in my school that tempt me to continue, sometimes I get around them, sometimes I don. To tell you the truth, I find not cursing so much better than cursing. It feels better.

This is a pretty good place to put this, I suppose...
Talking about administration, I haven't really been given the chance to do much of it. I dunno what it is... Maybe people forget I wear robes. Maybe you don't know how to get ahold of me. Maybe you just don't think I've got the balls to do anything.
Whatever the case may be, do remember I'm out there, often not doing much of anything. Look for me on AIM or MSN; my contact info is in my profile. If a reboot needs done, or somebody needs to be dealt with, let me know. I will deal with what needs dealt with without remorse. Of course... if you don't think I'll do it, then don't give me the chance, and I won't do it. It's your call, community. The next move is yours.

Is it pretty bad that people have messaged me on several occasions to reboot or deal with shitheads but they don't take it to actual admins aside from Rand 90% of the time?

Oh yea, I remember that person, when Kija changed the name that person gave him bullshit about it, but Soren the name was really inappropriate it was something like "HORNY SLUT GIRL" or "CUM GUZZLER" it was me who told you to change the name and the only reason I did that was because that name was not appropriate for a family based game. I don't recall this. I think I would have done something about that one. The one I had in mind was someone Kumog reported to me. I didn't feel anything really needed to be done about it, it rather felt like he was complaining just for the sake of complaining.

Lolicon was an important one. You may have thought it wasn't important because you didnt know what it meant. I asked Kumog to explain it to me so I knew why he was reporting it, but Kija had already dealt with it by the time I was home and able to grab it up. So he thought it was important, too. Even if you think it isn't important, it's obviously important to whomever is reporting something to you. If you don't give some sort of reply to them, they'll think you're ignoring them, and thus won't bother coming to you so much in the future.

I knew what it meant, and also did reply. I've seen people with names that I've personally thought was worse.
"Lolicon" as a name, to me, is questionable and something I didn't feel was all that important seeing as you, Rand, obviously didn't know what it meant. Nor would any child, or most probably even said child's parents if they were to walk by and see the screen. Not to mention, even with the swear filter, I believe our community usually says and talks about far worse things that wouldn't be considered family friendly, things moreso non family friendly than a person named "Lolicon".
That's just my take, I'm certainly not arguing against whatever decision was made. It's like I said before, if I can see any reason why someone might argue against action taken upon their name, and I'm not absolutely sure I'm 100% doing the right thing, then I'd rather someone like Kija handle it before I go rushing into something I might regret, or get yelled at for.
It's like if someone came in named "4chan" or something. 4chan is one of the nastiest places on the internet, but I wouldn't merit that worthy of a name change or any such thing.

I thought it was obvious that I wasnt clear on what it meant in my last post. Regardless, I have to wonder at why you'd let something like that go if you knew what it meant, or things worse than that for that matter, but half your issue, whether you'll flat out say it or not, is that you're leery of someone yelling "BOO!" if you do something. It's not a crime to act with the powers you have, mate. If someone objects, tough shit. Until you're power abusing that's just the way it is. And you're not always gonna be able to let someone else do it =P That may be a good chunk of why you don't hear much, mirite?

Personally, I could care less, but sometimes people go off on memes and shit too damned much.Also, does this mean 'pwned' originated from 4chan? I'm pretty sure it didn't. The way I heard it, someone typo'd 'owned' on like some game and it caught on faster than wukk bit. Later some dicks reformed it to seem like it meant 'power owned' shortened.
