I think we should have
a Swear Free Graal. I am
sick of all this swearing
at each other. I think Stefan
should HardCode in a thing
to where if a player says
something like if someone says
like "f*ck" or something it like
makes it invisible or it makes
the sentence or just if it is a
word say nothing. Like lets
say someone said "f*ck" it
would be like this "" but with-
out the quotes. Who agrees?
Please Vote.

It should also be able to turn the filters off at times, so that players who don't mind profanity could still see it.

See you, like many others donnot understand profanity, it is just a word to get a piont accross, so what if it says f*ck instead of ****. The general idea is still the same it doesn't change anything at all. I donnot see any piont whatsoever.

since filters doesn't really work, it would be
better to just log use of such words and
then temporary ban the player (if he hasn't
said it by mistake or quoted something)

Stefan no offense but i think taht idea is truly bad because of one reason: who would spend the time to view all the cursing and ban the players? New admins? Baah.

No, players who don't like profanity and would like to keep graal clean would take screenshots and submit them.

I like the idea.
Just not like my old thing where it would shut down if you swore stupidly. (IE// AS STICKING
I think we should do: if you swear 3 times you are banned permenatly...
or is that too harsh?

Well, actually, when most adults grow up and stop being childish, they'll find other ways to deal with problems than swearing, which they think might make people go away. That's the only reason they do it, they have no other defense against the world.

Heh, when someone says a profanity, send them to "detention". "Detention" will consist of an NPC blackboard that you have to write:

I WILL NOT USE PROFANITYS IN GRAAL

500 times sounds good.

You have a point though.

far too harsh.

and waar, censorship was ALWAYS in.

although would this censorship apply to the forums too?
i recall reading a post by stefan ..that had the word **** in it. is **** ok?

and richie is staff now yes? i've seen him swear.

i'm sure other staff swear too i just don't pay much attention to them

I don't mind swearing. Well, the only swearing I do mind is Twiztid and his gang's where they constantly say rude things over and over. I swear all the time, just not excessively.

for the most part swearing isn't out of hand on Graal so... I don't think it's such a big deal. There are bigger problems in Graal that need to be addressed, not censorship

I already made the script so when you swear it go like this(B*tch = ^$@$#) . It really works. I gave Stefan the scripts , but he didn't want to do it. So I am guessing it not going to be a Swear Free graal.........

Swearing is for thoose who are too immature to think of another way to write the emotion they are feeling.

Geez, we may as well take out the swords and all other signs of hostility in Graal. That means: take out almost all NPC weapons except for the ones that heal, no bombs, no arrows, no swords, no use for shields, no fire (seriously), no Graal CS, no Capture the Flag (you have to hit someone in that game to get the flag back), no nothing.

Anyway, that may have nothing else to do with this, so I'll go on.

"A last defense against the world." Damn it, what have you been smoking? Swearing is a form of expression, not defense!

That's just my take.
