Everyone has their own opinions on these things; Personally I don't give a flying fuck what anyone says unless its directed as harassment. People are to soft and need to grow up, and on the other hand some people go over board with calling people slurs/or using them and they need to grow up. The goal is to find a middle ground.
Description: Certain words are/are not censored on Garnet when very similar words are. I propose to fix inconsistent censorship.
Reasoning:
The current Censorship status quo on Garnet is really weird. Obviously, there are slurs that benefit from being censored, however, there are certain words that are strangely censored.
I've been considering making a post like this for a while now, but the catalyst was this recent staff report. As recently posted on the staff report, "retarded" is apparently not considered a slur.
Except, in game, "retarded" IS censored. It automatically corrects to "intelligent." HOWEVER, "retard" is NOT censored... In my humble opinion, that doesn't make any sense. Rick_Rubs was definitely not in the wrong, since "retarded" is censored on the server properly. Thus, Chawhead's claim that it's "never been associated as a bad word" is false, but regardless, that's not the point of this suggestion.
If we're going to have "retarded/retard" not be a punished word on the server, then the auto-censor should reflect as such.
Other words that have inconsistent/unusual censorship are:
Bitch being censored to "Beach," despite Whore and Cunt being uncensored.
Dick being censored to "Duck," despite Cock being uncensored.
F*g not being censored, despite it's "long-form" being censored.
^^^ UPDATE ON THE LAST ONE! Apparently "f*g" is not censored by itself, but if you add a space before it, it is. So yeah, that should be fixed
To avoid future issues like this in the future and so I can stop calling people duckheads, these should be changed in game to reflect the server's level of "ethics," so to speak.
Additional Information:
Hey, I am finally unbanned but I tried loading up the server and I randomly am banned again for ban evasion but I am unbanned. I saw this happened to I think assault, not sure why. Please Help
