Regardless, people need to nut up or shut up.

Grown adults crying to mods, admins, and devs about language they are fully capable of ignoring or otherwise dealing with is pathetic. They have better things to worry about. (or so I thought until the recent wave of bellyaching that resulted in suspensions for prominent members of the community for no other reason than ridiculous crybaby bullshit from grown men and women)

You are 100% in control of and empowered over what you are exposed to in game. You can both ignore people directly and shut off OOC entirely and your gameplay will neither be hindered nor affected.

I regularly see far more offensive shit said in OOC than what I received a suspension for. I used to ignore it until now. I am now screenshotting and reporting everything.

It doesn't offend me but, I didn't open that can of worms.

Are you seriously this thick? Are you really that dumb?

Instead of counting on people being man enough to ignore these comments, how about you just stop using them in the first place? Do you have a clear inability to construct a sentence or engage in conversation without referring to people as: gay, fags, retarded, retards, racial or sexual slurs? That is all we are asking. There is no need of it. This is the only requirement I have made of you and you continuously fight it and continuously dig yourself a deeper and deeper hole.

There is no use to this language. It offers nothing to conversation and offers nothing to the topic other than making the forums slightly offensive to some users and some potential users. Is it really that hard to just refrain from using those terms? It is really so tough to just not be a jackass?

Seriously Finawin you have to be the dumbest person I have ever had to try and carry a conversation with. You try and act all high and mighty like you are the most ethical and educated person to grace this earth's surface with your presence. Seriously man it is time to grow up and quit "sticking it to the man." You aren't sticking anything to anybody; you are just making yourself look more stupid than you already did.

this.

Whether or not your personally bothered by offensive language isn't what's important, the fact is some people are offended... so please refrain from using it is all the devs are asking.

Actual quote from Finawin lol.

Does Finawin think how language like this may offend female players? Lets say, a mother who is playing this game?

Ive got nothing against Finawin personally, ive had good grouping experiences with him before but the language he uses just makes him look like a dumbass.

Im not surprised he was suspended.

I get the point, but where is the "leading by example" ?

"we do NOT allow bashing/flaming/asshattery in /ooc like we do here, so please keep it out of there."

/shrug.

Fucking lose. You brought this on yourself, he is 100% correct that people don't get suspensions for way more than Fina did, yet he received a justified suspension. I would do the same thing, you DID open that can of worms, regardless of whether it is deserving or not.

When I think of Gothic Circle I think of Finawin. It's a poor way to look at them I'm sure, and at one point I was considering joining the guild. But once I realized that the person who said "gtfo" to my first post was in that guild, I kinda wrote them off as immature 14 year olds.

I am sure GC has plenty of decent people. Despite him giving them a bad image, It would be wrong to write off the whole guild because of one bad apple.

With so many other good guilds you have to weed them out somehow. If their most visible member is an ass, you don't think twice about disregarding them.
