Well, here you can hunt them down and kill them. Don't like what someone says to you? Kill 'em. Find their house and do it again if thats what you want, or don't interact with them at all. Thats one of the great things about UO, you can retaliate against people you don't like who do things that tick you off.

Banning somebody because you don't like a word they used is just lame. Its asking for the teacher to give Bobby a time out because little Bobby said a bad word. Grade school nonsense.

Censorship is conceptually silly and I find it weak, to me arguing for a ban because it was OSI policy is rather questionable. They still operate servers under that same ruleset which are available to everyone, I kind of like a more grown up gaming environment that doesn't have perma-nannies overseeing things and self righteous moralising over language and actions when retaliation is an option to everyone. People got banned for all kinds of dumb things and resurrecting that mentality won't help anything here, it will only unleash a torrent of people screaming for bans for whatever they don't like and then its back to an OSI environment.

No thanks.

with all due respect if you want to ban afk macro's start your own topic in regard to that.
and actually it's not all or nothing, because it's not all or nothing currently.

You played the "era-accurate" card so you can't pick or choose. If we implement censorship fine but if its done under the guise of OSI era accuracy then we have to implement other rules as well.

It's embarrassing to both you and UOSA. Being racist is as cool as beating up your mom. Have some respect for yourself, please!

ClowN wrote:i just think derrick and staff already have their hands full with this server. to expect them to respond and possibly ban players for something as stupid as profanity when they are not even paid to run this server, is just asking to much. turn your profanity filters on, and quit complaining. its just UO.
