I don't agree with sexy and pimp being not allowed, but raccoon is blocked because it has "coon" in it, which is apparentally a racist term to white people? tbh I have never heard it.

1. coon Insulting term for a black person I went to the R&B disco at DeNiro's last night and I was the only white person in there. It was full of coons. 2. Coon An insulting name for a black person. Similar to 'Nigger'. Black man: "What's up homie?" White man: "Can't you coons talk proper English?" Black man: *Shoots White Man* |

How come "Moon" and "Cricket" isn't restricted?

They didn't like the slow grenade so they swapped it back out for the MIRV that the heavy had before. They wanted the spy grenade back, so they put it back. They did not change class abilities and specs. You're thinking of another server. They did keep the air puff that the heavy started using, because they liked it and people found a use for it. Quote:
Racist crap will get an instant ban for good (and even then its not always for good, I've seen people who have said racist crap (actual racist crap not just raccoon) get back on the server 2 and 3 times). I've seen people warned many many times to stop using an exploit or else they would be banned. They were warned many many times. They kept on using an exploit, and finally they get kicked to get their attention. If they come back and continue using it, then they might get banned, and again its usually only 30 minutes to 24 hours. If they come back after that and keep using the exploit, then they will get a ban. They have a rule about not going into the sky box on the server, why, because noobs either start complaining that someone is hacking, or they want to get in there themselves. Quote:
I don't even remember half the stuff you were saying now, but I do remember it being insulting and taking swipes at OT again when no one even said anything to you. I do remember you saying something about how we're playing the game wrong and that people shouldn't be attacking with defensive classes, or defending with attack classes. And you would say something every time you got killed or within minutes of joining the server. And you were very quickly unbanned. Heck even I have brought up the fact that the filter is a little too touchy. Even I got banned for that one time cause I said something about a bunch of raccoons in at my back door one night checking out the garbage bin. But within minutes I was unbanned. Quote:
What I find funny is all the people who have said "OT is destroying the community because of their rules" yet some of those same people have said "the only server that usually has people on it is the OT server". So which is it? They can't actually be destroying the community while at the same time being the most popular server. Could it be that they are the most popular server because people like the rules they have? Naaaaa that couldn't be... that might be just too logical. @KubeDawg They banned racists words, period. They don't care what the "context" is. They just don't want to hear them. I don't want to hear them. This is why I play there and not on other servers that allowed people to say what ever they want. Same goes for swearing. I just don't want to hear it. This is how I have always been. I've heard crap like that all day in some places and I get tired of hearing it. At the end of the day, they pay the bills for the server and look after it. They make the rules for it. If you don't like those rules, well just too bad. Either shut up, disconnect your mic and don't type, or don't play there. I've helped run a community for over 10 years with nearly the same rules. We wanted to keep it kid friendly. Having swearing, racist crap and nudity is not kid friendly. OT wants it kid friendly. And the argument that its a war game with blowing people up and shooting and stuff so racist crap and swearing and nude pictures should be allowed doesn't work. Why? Because its a GAME. You can tell its a GAME. You are playing it on a computer. Nothing looks real. In real life people don't blow up in chunks when shot with a gun. Swearing, racist crap and nudity is real. And again, at the end of the day, they are the ones that pay for the server so if they only want to allow people who have a 3gu in their name, then they can. If it drives away people from their server then they will have an empty server, but as has been pointed out, their server is almost always the only one thats populated. Maybe that means that people like their rules and that people don't like the "anything goes" type servers. |

Gwars, I think crap is a bad word. It's a swear word. Not as bad as shit or fuck, but it makes me cry every time I hear it. I don't give a flying fuck shit about coon. So why is crap not censored?
Also, why is shit allowed on OT if people ask for armor? I think if someone asks for armor and it randomly comes up with "Shit, need some armor over here!" - that person should instantly be permabanned from the server since OT's rules clearly state that you can't say shit, ever. Niggers jew admins. also laughing at: we're not changing class abilities when you just listed like 3 changes from core FF

We need an official FF Pub server and an official FF Private server, but don't name the servers: OFFICIAL FF SERVER
Name it something cool like: Fortress Forever Pussy Fart Public House or something like that. Something with RTV, a good map rotation/selection and friendly admins. |

I know how to run a forums long term, keep people interested and the majority happy and thats rules that are enforced. I've helped run a forum for a game that over 10 years old now. We are the ones keeping the game going, as we are now the official caretakers of it and have been doing updates for it for 9 or 10 years now. You want to look like a bunch of 8 year olds, trying to impress one another, then go a head and swear and spew racist crap. You might get a few more people to join, but you'll drive off far more people. But if you want to look grown up and respectable and get more people to join the forums and the game then you'll drop the racist crap and swearing. Ever consider thats why there are not more players? Because people got driven off by all the racist crap and swearing? You look at any professional developers website/forums and you will not see any racist crap or swearing or nudity or anything like that allowed. Most of the best/still active servers for different games all have rules against racist crap, swearing and stuff like that. |

Its not the person saying "shit" its built into the game. Its not them typing it or saying it. They have no control over it. As to what OT punishes for and what they don't. Its up to them, it their rules. I play on the OT servers because I like those rules. If you don't like those rules, don't play there. Its why I don't play on any other FF servers, because they don't have rules to stop the racist crap. They don't have rules to stop the insults and swearing. They didn't have rules against disgusting sprays. Most of them had no rules to stop anything. And how full are those servers now compared to the OT server? Oh thats right its been mentioned here and at other times that the OT server is pretty much the only server with people playing on it a lot. I also don't go around making up false crap about the other game servers like so many here have about OT. Again I don't play on those servers because they allow anything and everything to said and done. If thats how they want things, fine, they can. Just like OT should be allowed to have what ever rules they want without being falsely accused of stuff. And no what I mentioned was not class abilities. It was items in the game. An ability would be, the spy back stabbing. The Pyro being able to hover/fly. Bunny hopping & double jump/trimping, running at a certain speed in general. Changing one grenade for another, which used to exist anyway is not a class ability, its a class item. Returning the spy grenade is not an ability, its an item. All of the items that were replaced or returned had already existed in FF. If they would have given the heavy more grenades, or the soldier the ability to take less damage from explosions (like from rocket jumps), or made the spy cloak 100% invisible while moving, or change the charge rate for the sniper rifle, or removed the spies back stab, or changed how fast classes run. Those are abilities. |

I just don't talk in the OT server and kill them till they leave. There's other ways around their noobness. The best is beating them at their game and making them rage quit!!!! I play FF to make people RAGgggggggggE!!!

Yep, like Atreuce posted, coon is a very derogatory and racist term used to refer to black people. It's been around since at least the era of Jim Crow.

Can we move this to the debate forum? It's almost not even relevant to FF. It just happens to be about an FF server and some people who play it.

I'm not even going to talk about OT, because I believe they are playing a dirivitive of FF, and not the true FF. I won't complain about their rules, because they pay the bills and that makes it their right. There are a lot of servers to play on, if you don't see anyone on... pick one and hang out for a bit, to see if someone else joins. It's about the only way you'll get a game going, short of creating "pick-ups" for pubs.
