| 05:40.09 | BulletCatcher | L4m3r, allowing the thread to arrive at nowhere makes it clear to everyone why it has been locked. |
| 05:50.56 | L4m3r | lol |
| 05:52.04 | L4m3r | too bad, really. I think some of the players had a legitimate grievance, but the thread turned into a pissing contest/ |
| 05:52.39 | JeffM | there were many ways it was handled poorly |
| 05:52.42 | JeffM | on both sides |
| 06:26.00 | L4m3r | indeed |
| 06:26.31 | L4m3r | I'm kind of surprised it didn't turn out worse, considering how badly the thread started |
| 06:27.10 | JeffM | the admins should have just said "we are enforcing the rules better now, deal with it" |
| 06:28.28 | L4m3r | I'm more disappointed that no one came out and said whether "wtf" constitutes swearing or not |
| 06:29.16 | JeffM | I doubt the admins wanted to tackle that thing |
| 06:30.05 | L4m3r | doesn't mean they shouldn't at least try to reach a consensus in private |
| 06:30.33 | JeffM | GU has always seemd heavy on the banhammer to me but dosn't say much when it comes to policy or resolving tought questions. |
| 06:30.51 | JeffM | should is a powerful word that never actualy means "does" |
| 06:32.13 | L4m3r | of course not. but if someone is going to complain about inconsistency, the logical first step is to decide how an act SHOULD be handled, and go from there :) |
| 06:32.19 | JeffM | from a "should" standpoing the entire rules should be on a website somwhere, with specifics, as well as a guide for how admins should behave |
| 06:32.40 | JeffM | yeah that would be logical |
| 06:32.42 | L4m3r | I think there might be, but some details are missing |
| 06:32.53 | JeffM | but from the little I've seen the GU core admins don't do that so well |
| 06:33.08 | JeffM | the silly part is the players assuming that it's going to be "fair" |
| 06:33.21 | L4m3r | people have alluded to some rules page somewhere |
| 06:33.39 | JeffM | it myst not be specific enough or well hidden |
| 06:34.04 | L4m3r | I'm thinking it's the former. And censorship is never fair :) |
| 06:34.38 | JeffM | good thing that the league isn't a democracy then |
| 06:36.45 | L4m3r | I had always thought that the leagues just hold players to a higher standard when it comes to behavior |
| 06:36.55 | JeffM | they should |
| 06:37.02 | JeffM | it should be a more civlized level of play |

| 06:37.09 | L4m3r | but I'm also observing a few neurotic elements within GU |
| 06:37.24 | JeffM | some people can't be competative with out being jerks |
| 06:37.29 | JeffM | thats how they "win" |
| 06:38.37 | L4m3r | of course, I guess it's expected |
| 06:39.26 | L4m3r | if game communities were libraries, BZFlag's would be the one that bans things like Harry Potter from its shelves :P |
| 06:39.55 | JeffM | oh there are people that play bzflag that feel "hell" is a curse word |
| 06:40.08 | L4m3r | ha |
| 06:40.28 | JeffM | the complainers now should go listen to voice chat on xbox live for an hour |
| 06:40.34 | JeffM | then see how clean bzflag is |
| 06:40.36 | L4m3r | I once caught flak from an admin (in my early days) because I said "fart" and triggered the filter |
| 06:40.53 | JeffM | did you fart in his general direction? |
| 06:41.14 | L4m3r | I think I said "rat farts!" after dying |
| 06:41.56 | Flash | How do I turn on the IRC swearing filter? You are offending my virgin ears |
| 06:42.24 | L4m3r | /part <word> |
| 06:42.33 | L4m3r | ;) |
| 06:42.35 | Flash | <PROTECTED> |
| 06:42.41 | JeffM | welcome to client side filtering :) |
| 06:42.47 | L4m3r | lol |
| 06:43.29 | Flash | or, we could teach the players how to mute people |
| 06:43.44 | JeffM | client side filtering is the way most games go |
| 06:44.27 | JeffM | but yes a simpler way to ignore people would be good |
| 06:44.40 | JeffM | it's hard since we don't require registration for all users |
| 06:45.26 | Flash | Does 2.4 have any of the fine grained privs that 3.0 was adding? |
| 06:45.33 | JeffM | nope |
