Quote: You're talking about how people should use common sense, isn't common sense to put blacklisted "rules" on the "rulebook", I mean seriously, everyone at every business is going to use the "drug references" you're saying how you don't want your children, being exposed to that, well think about, when you go to put your children into school, they'll eventually learn what weed, crack, and meth is. First off, I do not wan't my kids to be exposed to it at there current age, the time and place will occur in the future by my hand, not yours. Plus, You have no idea about the social economics of our current schooling system or what plans I may be issuing either, so don't attempt to mock me and think you know everything about growing up. (Seems you are still going through the "Growing up stage"). What if I decide to home school? I'm not sure what world you live in, but the kids I look after have no idea about what these drugs are, and it will stay that way for some time, I do not want them in that environment. Quote: It's not anyone else fault that the parents let their babies on a game with other grown ups, so why are you bordering our right to talk about things that we want to talk about? I don't want to disrespectful, but I don't want to be called dim-witted for your mistake to add what's blacklisted onto the rulebook, I don't have access to those rules, so how do I know that they're authentically rules? Do you think schools forget to add what "things" are blacklisted onto their rulebooks? The dos and don'ts are added into what you call an "agenda" Last I checked drugs are illegal, and yes it is partially the parents fault, however this is my game, my world, and I choose the environment to let kids in my house hold play the game, hence you will abide by them or be punished, simple as that, if you think that is "Breaking the American constitution for free speech..." Well news flash, you can shove the constitution right where the sun doesn't shine, because I'm not American and that crap doesn't apply to me. I have given the players a fair bit of leniency over the time, from Multi-Keying, to plain running a-muck, however people don't seem to be using common sense, and of course ruin it for everyone, use your head a bit more, your not a child in kinder garden anymore. Quote: And then you banned me because I am making you angry? You were making me furious by adding rules that are completely ridiculous. I don't care if I was making you angry or furious, this is my game, live with it, and it was a temp ban to help you pull yourself into gear, your lucky in that regard I have banned people permanently for less. Quote: I get it that's it's YOUR game, but what would it be without the players? It'll be dead, you have rights, just as well as we do to play that game. We're the ones that "draw" people to the game, by providing activity, you provide rewards for ranking the game, but to get those ranks, you have to have members, players. Players will come and go, loosing one person who was being disruptive is hardly a concern, I also provide no benefits to those who rank. Quote: Pem, you know that I'm a person who speaks my mind about the things that I don't like, I'm not telling you to change your game, or anything I just want know why you had to ban me, for your mistake to add certain things to the rulebook. If you want to keep me banned, then fine.
I said I had enough, I warned you, you continued, you got banned, end of story, putting this in the "Abuse section" isn't going to magically get you un-banned or get me fired, next time LISTEN to what I say, and things will go more smoothly, failure to do so, and the consequences will be severe, when someone annoys me, I am the one who is better off, and you learn't that the hard way by not listening to simplistic instructions that 5 year olds are capable of doing, in future, think before you talk.
At the moment a bunch of rules are going to be revised and changed, because the game has grown significantly since it first started and because people haven't been using a vital human capability called "common sense", If you don't like it, you are welcomed not to play.

(Seems you are still going through the "Growing up stage"). Yeah, I don't know what the current economic of your school system, and I'm not mocking you about growing up, I'm pretty much well grown up enough to know what certain things, I was educated by my parents that saying "drug references" isn't going to damage toddlers sufficiently enough to make them grow up up and do drugs, get in gangs and commit wrongful acts, and yes I'm still in the "growing up stage" due to my age, which is 17 Quote: What if I decide to home school? I'm not sure what world you live in, but the kids I look after have no idea about what these drugs are, and it will stay that way for some time, I do not want them in that environment. Then if you decide if you want to do home school, I mean I have brothers and sister, that are younger then me, and I have them sit on my lap while playing the games sometimes, but they're to distracted to focus on what's happening in a Online game, or they're paying attention to the pretty graphics are something, yeah I don't want them to grow up in an environment where they're around drugs, and crap. But they don't know what I'm talking about, they're to young to comprehend what "drug references are", they're to young to know what "weed" is, the only thing they comprehend "weed" is, is that it's a plant that grows in the ground. Quote: Last I checked drugs are illegal, and yes it is partially the parents fault, however this is my game, my world, and I choose the environment to let kids in my house hold play the game, hence you will abide by them or be punished, simple as that, if you think that is "Breaking the American constitution for free speech..." Well news flash, you can shove the constitution right where the sun doesn't shine, because I'm not American and that crap doesn't apply to me. Yes, drugs are illegal, not words. If you want to choose a world where isn't any harmful things, then don't expose them to something like that over the Internet, yes instructional programs are allowed, I don't let my brothers and sisters play this game, because if you think that 'terminologies' are going to harm then, then so is negativity, structural abuse among two players, and even seeing two players fight one another is pretty "harmful". But then again, we're two different people, my brothers/sisters, aren't your children, certain things are brought to their attention, and it's your game, like you said, your world, like you said. Quote: I have given the players a fair bit of leniency over the time, from Multi-Keying, to plain running a-muck, however people don't seem to be using common sense, and of course ruin it for everyone, use your head a bit more, your not a child in kinder garden anymore. "Drug references" ruin the game for everyone? lol Quote: I don't care if I was making you angry or furious, this is my game, live with it, and it was a temp ban to help you pull yourself into gear, your lucky in that regard I have banned people permanently for less. ... Quote: Players will come and go, loosing one person who was being disruptive is hardly a concern, I also provide no benefits to those who rank. Was going to add something like that to my comment, but time flies by fast, so I had go. Quote: I said I had enough, I warned you, you continued, you got banned, end of story, putting this in the "Abuse section" isn't going to magically get you un-banned or get me fired, next time LISTEN to what I say, and things will go more smoothly, failure to do so, and the consequences will be severe, when someone annoys me, I am the one who is better off, and you learn't that the hard way by not listening to simplistic instructions that 5 year olds are capable of doing, in future, think before you talk. I didn't know where else to put this subject at, so I posted in a section where I thought it was acceptable. I did think before I talked, you said something a long time ago, but I can't recall what game you said it on, that you let people have their opinions and express them, I acknowledged my feeling towards Sarah on WS2 and you didn't do anything, you let it go. I expressed my feelings for these "sentences" you call rules, and you couldn't take it, so you banned me. Quote: At the moment a bunch of rules are going to be revised and changed, because the game has grown significantly since it first started and because people haven't been using a vital human capability called "common sense", If you don't like it, you are welcomed not to play.
It's common sense, to add rules actions that are what you call "Blacklisted" in the rulebook, just my opinion.
Edit: Sorry for pushing you to your breaking point.

Actually, never mind, I don't see the point in protesting with you about this, it's your game, your rules. I guess, just need to get use to the rules, because I'm not use to them, I'm not a person who likes to follow the rules, but since I like this game a lot, I think I'll just get use to the rules, and quit bickering, seems like you have more experience then me already.
If you don't mind, I would prefer it if you unbanned me, thanks.

The reason we stop people from saying anything drug related is because most of the time people will say something like they've just smoked a joint or that it's good to smoke weed. I agree that we shouldn't punish for just saying the word, but to say anything that may promote drug use should be not allowed, this should go for anything else as well, racism, homophobia, etc. Saying something is 'gay' shouldn't be punished since it doesn't show homophobia, I mean I myself say things are gay when angry or pissed off or something, that doesn't make me a homophobe, and I have plenty of gay friends who aren't offended if I mention it in front of them. I think, we should only punish if they promote drug use, such as saying they use it and that it's good to use or whatever, and racism/homophobia/etc, but not something as small as saying something like 'That was a gay wish' etc.
Also, there is a rule that whatever the Owner's say goes. So, technically, making up these rules are all fine.
