Author Topic: Dumb rules you see on servers  (Read 3654 times)

if you call what happened in that server drama get your head screwed on the convo between seventh and koing was more intelligent than most of the posts here

chances are fox would probably freak the forget out if someone banned talking about hillary or bernie

since disagreeing now means you're being dismissive I've reported your post for being dismissive, enjoy your ban chucklehead
Since you clearly don't understand or read the rules, i'll quote them for you.

"The host can do whatever they want, it's their server"
Might does not make right.  Just because we can't physically stop people from being jerks on their own computers doesn't make it ok.  We are attempting to stop them via social pressure, that is the point of this forum.

"If you don't like the server, just leave"
Yeah, no stuff.  No one is posting "help I'm trapped in this bad server and can't leave".  The point is to warn others and bring about social consequences for the offending party.

"no cussing"
BL has a swear filter for a reason

Honor-system rules for half completed mods for complex gamemodes that dont legit exist.

You know. Like every server does.

I don't really blame them, I'm surprised it's not more. If they have a policy of preemptively filtering out people they think are going to cause trouble it makes sense. From your name I would assume you're going to cause some sort of trouble. Do you expect people to take you seriously with a name like that?

I mean I kinda agree although it was worded kinda eh
How you used to act is how I first imagined you being like when I saw your name.

compared to a lot of player names i've seen
yes, actually

Since you clearly don't understand or read the rules, i'll quote them for you.
the first example is not about this kind of situation. enforcing your rules is not abusing your power as the host. if they weren't following their own rules then it would be a different story, but that's not what we're talking about here
the second is also irrelevant because, again, people do not need to be warned about "bad rules"
when you join a server the rules will be immediately obvious. you do not have to worry about spending half an hour building a house or in a deathmatch just for it to be wasted because the host starts randomly banning people, or anything to that effect. you will see the rules as soon as you join, or as soon as you spawn (if you don't, then I guess that could be considered a problem of its own, if it's combined with unusual rules)

I would probably tell you to change your name, then kick you. if you joined again with the same name, then I'd ban you
cus the swear filter doesn't work for names

if that's true, then I guess I wouldn't kick him for it. I'd still be wary, though, boltster is right that it sounds like a name a troublemaker would pick
