Mumble trash talk

[Stella]

i just wanted 2 say something about mumble talking.
well i really dont like people talking vulgar nd trash...nd i dont like when certain people talk about dick sexuality nd masturbation in front of nova...he is just 11 years old. ok people are mature in usa in a young age, but i think there should b a limit. if my son or doughter will b here i'll never let them listen those inappropriate things. I feel embarrassed and out of place in front of certain subjects and certain ways of speaking. I would like to not be considered a moralist, but I think if certain words are censored in the game server such words should not be mentioned so excessively in mumble. I just want to know if there are rules concerning the words that can be said to mumble.

i totally agree, i had the same thought in my mind, i dont think its right to talk about anything infront of under age players we have here, probably they do get offended or feel uncomfortable but they are unable to say anything...i feel like we should have some kind of rules here, i am sure there are lot of  things to speak about other than vulgur or indecent stuffs when they are playing.

This game features violence and blood, not to mention decapitation and you're worried about a few cuss words?

Very good point. I'm on the same page. First of all, it's a game based on killing, blood, and death. Second of all, it's the INTERNET. No getting around that. If parents are letting their children partake in such things, then they should be well aware that they will be exposed to things like fowl language and trash talk. And that's the LEAST of what they might run into.

Now, I *do* agree that trash talk and slander should be kept to a minimum, unless it's in jest. But general dirty language on a public voice server, that's not something that anyone has the power to control. Sniper's point about the 17+ room is probably the best we could do to limit exposure to those who are underage. Even then, how do we enforce such a thing? Sure, it's easy to track the age of those who openly provide that information, but I don't believe we have the ability to track that outside of our forum. Mumble registration is a completely seperate system and doesn't require one provide their age before registering. We may be able to keep tabs (manually, mind you) on registered mumble users who are also clan members, but outside of that, it's going to be tough to enforce.

I think its a pretty strait-forward thing here. . . Use your best judgment. I talk differently in the presence of my nephews as I do, say... around their parents?  The same applies anywhere. 

When Nova and the kids are in channel, I try my best to watch my mouth.  Simply, if I think you're post-pubescent, I'm going to talk about anything I feel like talking about until Ron and the powers that be tell me to do other-wise.  i.e. poop, genitals, sex, and the rest of my conversational repertoire  of which are  not even close to maturity level of decapitation and killing people with guns. 

just my $0.02

An 18+ channel would only further their feelings of segregation/isolation.  That's messed up, you may as well just kick them out.  Maybe just some sort of marker on their name so we know? That would be useful. .

That's actually a pretty good idea. It leaves the responsibility of good manners in the hands of us older guys/girls who have long ago put aside such concerns in the presence of our equally aged peers. Some kind of "reminder" that we're also in the presence of younglings.

Though, my original point on enforcement still stands. With this, we'd simply be providing a tool to aid good faith, but otherwise would have a hard time enforcing it (and really... why should we have to?).

Doesn't seem like it should be a hard rule, more just a rule of thumb.  For the adults that seem offended by 'trash-talk' as it were, I've got no opinion.  You've already passed the 'flexan-litmus-test'.. Seems like you'll probably survive anything else!

You do realize you just posted those words on the forums for EVERYONE to see right? 

[Chuck[1up]]

well  i believe she put those words to make a point .. 

[CuttyFlam[1up]]

what means dick, sexuality and masturbation ? I don't get it :S haha just kidding, We are gonna start fighting cauz of this ? no just moderate ur vocabulary when a little kid is on agreed with Stella just until some part

[ColdBlooded]

I agree with sniper. We should have a 17 year old channel and it will solve all of this commotion about bad language

[Bliz]

Not that what I say means anything but a 17+ channel would be screwed up I agree with Gemma Because then 90% of the time everyone is going to be in the 17+ channel... I don't think the youngins even get on super often, They would just feel left out and never get to talk to anyone
