/ooc is not R&F

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.

Shut the hell up. If you're so offended for being censored because you're a friggin' entitled idiot, then go somewhere else.

No one owes you shit.

Well i'm a firm believer in fairness, if a person gets suspended / banned for saying something, it's only fair that if someone else says it they get the same punishment.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

LOL @ asshattery haha my new favorite word =p

Fortunately, you people don't know or see of punishments or bans unless the offender makes it public.

You can keep on thinking whatever you want. We are more than fair. People usually get warnings before they get suspensions and bans.

I shouldn't have to explain anything, but there's no reason for you to tell the readers what you don't know, but think to be true.

Unless there's a petition with your name on it, stfu about how we deal with punishments.

/shrug in live classic, ALL of us would have been banned for the way we act. I'm probably not too far off target by hypothesizing that a large chunk of the P99 population was banned from live play at one time or another. Maybe even the devs, for all we know. Their language isn't exactly professional or tempered by restraint, either.

Regardless, unless you're donating 15 bucks a month to play, not a lot you can say about it. The owner of the server calls the shots, not a focus group of old white men in suits and briefcases. Sure, there's some unfairness. That's called life.

My response isn't *at* you, but you brought up some points to which I would like to respond. In live eq, if DEVELOPERS were the ones listening to this, lol, yes most everyone would be banned. *Donating* ANY bit of money here doesn't get you entitlement of anything. Sony got *PAID* to listen and still banned people.

If your objective here is to play Everquest, that's what we provide. If your objective is to "get loud", we do not facilitate this and you're not entitled to anything.

I consistently see the same 5-10 names in negative reports. Figure out if you're here to play EQ, or practice your freedom of speech. If its the latter, attrition will have no problem eating you up. NomNom. You won't be missed.

I'll give that a Huzzah and a thumbs up.

And if I can be so bold as to beat the crap out of a dead horse, I honestly don't think as many people would whine in /ooc if they knew that the entire server couldn't read it, like they can now. Consider local newspapers; before the internet, readers only submitted editorials when they felt VERY strongly about a subject. Now that most newspapers are online, and the websites allow comments to be posted on the stories, EVERYONE has an opinion, whether they have the knowledge or insight or tact to back it up. Same with serverwide chat, imo. People are going to spout off more readily because they know everyone playing has access to their beef, and that now their own business is EVERYBODY'S business.
