I play there because it is usually the only populated server outside of a pickup game if I'm not in the mood to spectate and sip some coffee.
The people there
seem nice enough, but I agree with the bulk of what has been said here: some of their rules I simply don't agree with. Server owner sets the rules and I respect that, so I do my best to follow the OT rules when I play there, though for me personally there is a difference between cussing out of frustration or banter and hate speech.
I was "slain" last night for saying that the xpress map was pimpin'.
I help run an Assault Cube server where hate speech is an instant kick and a return-and-repeat is a ban, but raccoon? Sexy? Pimp? o.O
