spyro chat language.

well i go on there and i know people like swear but some people swear to much and at times younger members go on. So its just an idea but you could have a limit on swearing or people can swear after a time.

Spyro Master · Mar 15, 2009 3:43 PM

Yes, but some younger people know about swearing, i did when i was 10. You can't protect everyone forever though, so they would have to learn sometime.

Spyro man 123 · Mar 15, 2009 3:46 PM

i know but being swore at is not very nice. and mostly its from people you don't know

Spyro Master · Mar 15, 2009 3:47 PM

Not all the time, sometimes people swear when something has gone wrong for them.

Spyro man 123 · Mar 15, 2009 3:55 PM

i know that as well i forgot to add that bit. tongue

Spyro Master · Mar 15, 2009 6:06 PM

ok fair enough mate

Aicebo · Mar 15, 2009 6:54 PM

It isn't encouraged, and if people go overboard with it, an op/moderator will usually kick them if one of them is around.

Spyro Master · Mar 15, 2009 7:13 PM

So what happens if a mod swears then?

Aicebo · Mar 15, 2009 7:40 PM

Mods should be smart enough not to go overboard.

SpyroGirl101 · Mar 15, 2009 8:33 PM

The other day I was on there and some dude was using the "F" word over and over. Is there not something you can do to prevent people from cursing?

bmah · Mar 15, 2009 8:36 PM

Boot them out of the chatroom like Aicebo just said.

Spyro Master · Mar 15, 2009 8:38 PM

you can't unless your a mod.

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · Mar 16, 2009 9:08 PM

maybe if it wouldn't be too hard, or if it's possible, a censoring thing could be put on it like on the forums?

( *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* cock *bleep*ing *bleep*er )

then those people who do swear could still do it but you wouldn't have to see it.

Kazoobie64 · Mar 16, 2009 9:28 PM

Yes, censoring is possible. From my experience it replaces certain words with "<censored>." I really hate that option though because when the chat I go to had it, it would even censor it out when it was placed within another clean word. For example, "Josie and the Pussycats" would come out as "Josie and the <censored>cats."

It's just better not to use the censoring option and just have moderation for swears. I'm pretty sure a bundle of letters that make an impolite word now and then won't traumatize anyone.

I never meant that. Of course I was referring to Aicebo.

Now I'm rather against this, since it restricts the nature of a "chat". It's kind of an unwritten rule that forums are generally more formal that a chatroom would be, and I wouldn't want to have too much formality within chats introduced.

Stormy · Mar 17, 2009 5:27 PM

There is an option for a word censor, but like Kazoobie64 said, it gets annoying because it censors things like "muffins" ("[censored]ins") and "cucumbers" ("cu[censored]bers"). tongue Usually ops will kick people who curse too much, but I think the rule is that every now and then is OK.

T3h0v4llu · Mar 17, 2009 5:50 PM

Thats right stormy. Also having a "curse limit" would start fights over things like what is a curse word ect.

Its just easier to trust the mods that they (hopefully) use their judgement on these situations.

Spyro Master · Mar 17, 2009 5:51 PM

Well then it that case that means this is pretty much sorted, the mods on the chat know the limits i think anyway from what i have seen on there.

RedDragonX · Mar 18, 2009 3:53 AM

Quite simple. Swear enough to the point where we don't like it then you will be booted. As said before, the censored mode is not active for reasons, but it is open chat for anyone to say what they want. That's why mods exist though...to keep it civilized.

Hey, SpyroChat stuffed up my PC, anyway I know all the swear words and I don't use them.
