Requesting Rules Clarification - Coarse language

[Saigo.Watanabe]

i heard someone complained about a GC calling him a boy, mighta been me, cause i use it in a rp sense, and its hardly insulting. i have my dad calling me it all the time and me back, its a joke, hardly insulting. Everyone was a boy once, and in rp calling someone a boy is easily justifiable. On the subject of other coarse language, Hell, damn, frak should be allowed in rp. But it has to be in rp, but the words 'f**k' and those coarse language shouldnt be used.

My answer to that is, if you are not sure if the word is acceptable, do not use it ... You do not have to
cuss ever, roleplay or not.
There is very little chance that a complete list of words allowed or not, will ever be compiled, as it would
be so large, no one would ever bother reading it. Do you really need more rules, or can you actually use
a bit of common sense ?

What I'm suggesting is a partial list of the more likely ones to come up, not "a complete list of words". It might actually reduce admin workload if people know what is allowed and what isn't, since you wouldn't be getting as many reports for things that aren't actually against the rules.

On the common sense note, this question's come up multiple times even in my relatively short time here. Common sense would say that it should be clarified more.

Do you really need more rules

No. We just want the rules that are in place and actually being enforced to be clear, rather than open to five thousand interpretations. Completely different things.

Edit: Oh, and if it matters at all, it's never been a problem for me. I just like clarity.

I agree, instead of V chipping the whole server to try and shield our no doubt fragile little minds from the horrors of the english language that we will no doubt be exposed to elsewhere, clairify. To some people frack is a potty mouth word, to others its no big deal. the same can be said about the F bomb. Im not endorsing its use, I dont have enough flame retardant clothing for that. Most people dont care. So to make those of us that honestly dont give a frack happy and the people with sensitive feeler feelers happy, clarify the freakin rule. It would take probably 10, 20 mins tops. and it might save you guys hours in sanction reports in the long run.

A list of acceptable swear words would be a lot shorter.

Words like frak and gorram and such, or just make up our own, like Felhood, that one sounds good.

"Take that felhooding ship and get the felhood out of my felhooding system, before I felhood in the hole my fellhooding laser leaves in your felhood."

Aku, that might constitute a foriegn language. :P

Folks, you asked for a clarification and I think you got it.

For heaven's sake. Think of the words you'd have gotten slapped for as a kid, you can't use them. Any word that will get asterisked out on the forums, you can't use them either. For everything else there's common sense. Use it.

For those who seem to be lacking in common sense and continue to ask for lists of words that they can use ingame, please reference this:

As said before, use your best judgment.
