Graal & Cursing & all such other perverted things.

[adam]

It's all over in graal, on pretty much every server.

Profanity, and Sexual conduct that is just completely perverted and un-called for.

I can script, I know we can block it out, censor it, report it, and altogether, stop 90% of it in one shot if we tried.

Is it so un-important to the games creators that they don't require it at all?

I mean, how much credibility do you lose right there.

#1 arrive on a playerworld
#2 get cussed at
#3 get "raped"
#4 the GP says he didn't see it. or can't be everywhere at once.


This 'can' be prevented. Why hasn't it been?

It's very difficult to prevent such behavior.

I love classic

The video's pretty funny too

It's -stupid- to prevent such behavior. Seriously, nobody likes to be censored and by doing this people will not play. So what if someone gets pk and the pker uses the pull ani on the "dead body"? No one really cares too much.

Cursing is the most retarded thing to block out. I don't see -why- we can't say ****, ****, etc. Hell Graal 2001 itself had the npc bomies saying something along the lines of "THEY EVEN EAT AND ****" so why can't we?

hes completely right (his whole post is right, but i didnt feel like having a huge post so i took the important line outta his post)

It's bad I agree, but you're taking graal too far if you're finding this a serious problem.

[Darklux]

Most players are young and dont really care for that.

See the osbournes on tv: he says "f*ck" as every 2nd word.
Why should they think cussing is bad?

Using a filter should be mandatory on the PW's.
I have not seen where most use it, and the no cursing/sexual conduct rule is not inforced as it should be, probably because it takes up alot of time beings a large majority of Graal members curse, and because staff on these servers are children/young adults who curse themselves (I don't mean all staff, but a large percent of them)
I agree with adam, it has gotten really bad, and is one of the reasons I quit as Manager of NP

Can't there be a built in filter, giving the pw's no choice but to use it?

If that's why you quit, why didn't you fire the staff who tend to curse?

Because you know, that's exactly what we need. A glitchy filter that sometimes filters out legitimate words just because it has 'ass' or '****' within the word itself.

Servers do not need mandatory word filters, what they need is the GPs to do their jobs. GPs only purpose is to maintain 'law and order', if cussing/harassment is that much of a problem the GPs should investigate instead of shrugging it off.

[Darklux]

Filtering doesnt help.

The younger players just change a letter or write it in leet, and there is no possibility to censore all these words.

You need to change their attitude towards flamin', censoring helps nothing.

Censoring does help, but the rule needs to be inforced also to stop people from evading the filter.

It was not the only reason I quit, and I didn't quit because staff was doing it.

I think filtering out a few legitament words is a small price to pay for using a filter, I have never had a problem with filters that are being used on PW's

I also did say that the staff needed to inforce it, instead of ignoring it.
