Tarnith Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 Sharpflame degranted daruler and quite a few others including me, for saying Pissy, Pissed, and Piss Off.... at the time these weren't even meant towards him.... until after he started degranting. He then proceded to lock me out of the zone after degranting 1k from me. According to dictionary.com piss used with the word off means: Piss meansUrine piss offa. to anger.b. to go away; leave (often used imperatively). As to how this falls under a cuss, I do not know, considering some of the other chat (which from now on I'll be logging) it is fairly light and in the way originally used, meant nothing. Even people just quoting the person who said it were degranted 1k....before this also by about 5 minutes, charmed3 and me were using jump engines around the safe to make people go into the hypertunnels, there was always at least 1 exit available to people from the safe.... he locked out charmed3 for this, and then locked me out quite a bit later for pissing.
Bankotsu Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 agreed that piss and all those other words should not be considered cuss words because my parents let me say those :X and they are some mean !@#$%^&* hoes

Tarnith Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Posted January 12, 2008 Locked out again for saying piss , according to everyone I know, I want to ask Dr Brain to see his views but in the meantime, piss, crap, coke, crack are not swear words
DaRuler Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 Locked out again for saying piss , according to everyone I know, I want to ask Dr Brain to see his views but in the meantime, piss, crap, coke, crack are not swear words Now I'm locked out of the zone. Sinn asked why people were saying ban after people say words that are barely cusses when people get away with cussing all of the time. I explained it was because I said pissed. And this got me locked out. Hm. I would totally understand if I said the "F" word or w/e. but come on. Really now. Let's alllll grow up a bit.
*rc 1223* Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) I don't listen very well. Edited January 13, 2008 by Rare rc-ness
DaRuler Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) And to add to this discussion. The rules clearly state NO SWEARING. If the word, excuse my language, "Piss" would be considered in any way bad, it would be classified as vulgar, not a swear word. We all know what swear words are. They are the words our parents slapped us when we said them when we were little lol. Also, I hear piss, pissed, pissy, etc. in tv shows ALL OF THE TIME. Need I prove my point more? PS - How long does this lock out last.... Edited January 12, 2008 by DaRuler
FireFox13 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Ahem.

Muskrat Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 There's a difference in saying a word and saying it tastefully. Perhaps if all parties acted a little less like children you could say piss in an acceptable way. Turds Isn't a curse worse either, but what if you were on a date and some kid came up and started screaming "TUUUURDZZZ," you bet your !@#$%^&* I'd crucify that !@#$%^&*-blocker.

You have never used/heard the phrase "pissed off"? I wasn't going PISSSSSSSSSSSS all over pub lol
chocko_cc Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 this thread makes me /wrists but seriously... like muskrat said, its all about the context. "I need to piss" and "I hate you so much, im gonna piss in your mouth while you sleep" cons!@#$%^&*ute two very different intents... but the word crap? thats just slang for bad, no where near a swear word. kids need to be saying "crap" instead of "!@#$%^&*", so allow them...
Muskrat Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 At any rate, my point is that yes sharp probably warned you for something that he really didn't need to, but you guys had to react to that in a very childish way. So, in my eyes that blew your chances for redemption.

So, in my eyes that blew your chances for redemption.^ is why u were locked outif you had just stopped saying piss, you 1) would not have been degranted anymore, and 2) you wouldnt be locked out right now Edited January 12, 2008 by rootbear75
Dr Brain Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 It's no cussing, not no swearing. If I were to start losing money for saying a word (or see someone else lose money) you'd better believe that I wouldn't start saying it repeatedly. You're idiots for doing that.

If I were to start losing money for saying a word (or see someone else lose money) you'd better believe that I wouldn't start saying it repeatedly. You're idiots for doing that. So is piss a cuss or not. Still hasn't been answered. No where else is it considered a cuss word. So, that's why I did not care not to say it. What is the point? I don't care about losing 1K. This is frickin ridiculous. I knew this would happen, you can't get any straight answers, the mods always get backed up. If piss is not a swear, the context doesn't matter. You have little kids watching Dave Chappelle's "I want to piss on you" on cable tv. And, plus, if he locks you out for some other reason, he should mention why. If you want this no cussing rule in place, compile a list of cusses. If not, anything can be a cuss in the right context. There are PLENTY of times when the f word and whatever are used in 70+ populations with mods there and nothing is done. Only if they spam the word 5 times in a row. I did not spam the word. We all started saying it after the fact that it was not a cuss word. I could provide definitions if you would like. This isn't the first time sharp has abused his power. For instance: Today, Creamy was using ID drives and consequently some people were getting warped to HT because they were close to the safe zone. Sharp said he was blocking safe. I recall when sharp was spamming bricks around the Hardware store for at least 15-20 minutes while people said they needed to get in and but something and he wouldn't let them. It's the same concept, but Sharp did not care to stop. And I don't know who can type .?buy poacher box 3 times in a second, but apparently he can. Edited January 12, 2008 by DaRuler
»D1st0rt Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 It doesn't matter what you think is appropriate or not. If a staff member tells you not to say it, JUST DON'T SAY IT. Not difficult.
Sass Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 The reason that this rule was made was to attempt to preserve the zone from the foul and inappropriate crap that goes on in every zone in ss. If you would rather see the unruliness of zones like Halo and EG which do not care about player obscenity then play those zones and not HS. No matter how many filters are used or whether or not you have obscenity checking on, players who are deliberate about foul remarks will do everything they can to abuse it. On the other hand - I have seen some mods go over the top with this rule and question whether or not we're applying the enforcement with moderation - after all they're called mods - or with Nazi like, zero tolerance domination - as players have labeled some mods as such.
Shock Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 You know !@#$%^&* well if you're allowed to say it ahead of time. If you think it's going to cause a controversy: DON'T SAY IT. This topic is a joke.
op2rules Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 Jeez you guys make such a big deal. I swear when I need to. Whether I get warned or not doesn't matter. I say the F word maybe once a week and a few others if necessary. Usualy mods understand if they see it why it's being used, and more than that, even if I do get warned, I do nothing about it. I got warned for saying !@#$%^&* by rare a few days ago, and what did I do? Pretend I didn't get warned. Did I get a fine? No. A Lockout? No.
Dagger171 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 I think it's bs you can't say piss or pissy or w/e(like i said b4 ) but if a mod tells you not to say that then don't keep saying it. You're only causing more problems for yourself and if you actually cared about solving this problem ur killing all the chances you had to do so.
DaRuler Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 I could care less about what a mod thinks of me. I could care less if a mod respects me on a 2d game lol. The point is filtering your language this much on a game is absurd. And quite honestly I know whenever these topics are posted everyone backs up the mods cause they want to suck up and be one themselves. So say what you want, but you all know that this was a bs power trip and over the top.
Boldot Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 So if it bothers you that much, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Aceflyer Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 So if it bothers you that much, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Well, as far as using the jump engines repeatedly around safe, that'd probably fall under 'excessive lameness' from my POV; and as far as spamming that 'p' word repeatedly, that probably wasn't a wise thing to do either. On the other hand, D1 once jumped down my throat not too long ago because I PM'd someone to ask them to stop using a certain 5-letter word that begins with 'wh' that I thought was a bad word, but D1 insisted was fine. Compared to that word, the 'p' word referenced above seems mild, but Iunno, since I'm not staff.
mij Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 it seems to me that the main complaint of this thread is the original action taken by the mod (ie, warning for saying "piss"). how the player responded is a separate matter. i don't think "well mods told you to stop and you kept going? lol idiot" addresses the root of the issue in the least.
Rareitanium Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 I can most likely say that i did not ban RC for the word "coke"
