Well I don't want people to start comparing shit in real life to things that go on in an online gaming server. But I'll say this... there are rules in the real world as there are rules in online games. Real world rules have been refined since man became civilized, the rules (laws) are now within reason so that the majority are content. In an online game, you usually don't put in unnecessary rules that just piss people off. The filter pisses people off, it used to be funny at first, but sooner or later it would've been more appropriate to make a star filter (ie. f***), obviously people don't learn from observing player interactions. The filter isn't for the children, if you cared so much about your child not being exposed to such harshness, you wouldn't have him/her choping peoples heads off, and reading bypassed words.
Admins and mods need guidelines, otherwise you're gonna have a lot more pissed off _acid_head_s in the near future, and a lot less people on your servers. People that play HL mods are accustomed to being allowed to swear, threaten, and harass other players, you don't expect people to make a full switch to some mod where you chop peoples heads off. I've always had a hard time controlling myself because I was never regulated in such a way on the internet, it isn't something I had liked to get used to, but you do have to admit that I used to be much more of an ass on APS and KAH. It's the internet for crying out loud, go play D&D or checkers with your dog if you want a clean game.
I seriously don't know what happened to this server, admins used to be so much more leniant, rules weren't so strict (or the admins weren't as strict/ordered to be strict). Thanks to my experience, if I ever became an admin on Holdout's before this whole ordeal, I swear to god I would either follow the rule and be leniant and "laid back", or I would denounce my status as admin if I was ordered to do otherwise. I wouldn't enjoy people disliking me for angering them for stupid shit like this. Same reason I wonder why some admins are still there, I'm sure you do it for GRITS, but there's also a burning urge for power in every human being, some people know how to control and harness it, keeping their cool, and some people love abusing it, exploiting people like you or me, and simply getting them mad, most of these people are constantly in denial though, I would know. This is the difference between a patient and cool admin, and a full out tyrant.
I gotta say though Gwar, you really knew how to piss me off, you baited me this last time, and I did exactly what I KNEW (yes, knew) that you wanted me to do, I was fairly sure it was going to get me banned too. I did it to prove a point, unfortunately nobody got the point, and I'm pretty much screwed out of RC now. Congratulations on losing another of the best RC players, I'm sure more will follow if you don't change things now. And GRITS, what I said in my first email to you still stands. I know you have the final word on things GRITS, I am sorry for letting you down, but I, just like you, am human, am not perfect, and do get mad from time to time.
Hopefully after typing all of this I get some smart replies that I could reply to some more, maybe get a discussion (or arguement, same thing with acid head) about this subject, rather than delete these posts, pretend they never existed, and ban me from the forums forever.
