Recent high staff have influenced the community to basically ignore oldies and their viewpoints which highly irritates me. It only irritates me because without the oldies this community wouldn't be where it is today, so i think a little bit of respect is needed..
Moving on... Tell me what you would like from the following :
1. A shitty environment full of raging kids swearing like there is no tomorrow, with admins who don't do anything about it.
2. A more calm, peaceful, respectful and more enjoyable environment with sensible human beings actually playing on the server without having the need to swear after every word.
I think 2 is better, especially if we are still trying to gather as many new members as possible i think it would be more professional to have good server standards instead of making it look like a really cheap server which doesn't have staff who actually care about it. If we wanna succeed as a community, you can't treat it like a game anymore. Sure it is a game we are hosting, but to beat all the other 100+ communities out there, you need to be serious about it and little things like swearing can really affect how many players enjoy playing on the servers or not. I feel like i am talking to immature kids to be honest, i have never had to argue about having a swearing rule in this community before and this is the THIRD topic related to the removal of the swearing rule. Like really? What has this place come to?
You all whine about not being respected and having no appreciation for your work, well then if your players are swearing constantly it will obviously become a habit to ignore respect as a whole and not really care about how they present themselves to you. Especially as most of our players are not really old, as in teenagers, they will easily pick up with these bad habits and push them to the limits causing further disruption within the community. You gotta look at it like a family, if your kids are constantly swearing, in the future they will disrespect you, simple. So please remove the ability to swear, it just saves a whole lot of trouble. What will you lose from not being able to swear? You can vent your anger in real life which is REALLY good as you don't convey all your negativity in the server and maintain a good server atmosphere. Also you won't accidentally provoke someone by swearing as a "joke" and kids can get quite emotional when they feel under threat with a stranger on the internet, it all goes under cyber bullying although i have never seen this happen on JB because swearing was not allowed back when i played. Furthermore it gives the admins less things to worry about, if swearing is not allowed, admins won't need to scan every god damn sentence to see if someone is provoking or joking.
I cannot believe i have typed so much regarding the removal of swearing, honestly by now you need to think what you are doing with the server because you have a slogan saying "Gaming at it's best" hovering right under your name and i don't think it is the best when you have swearing allowed on your server, it just makes the quality really poor and make the server look badly managed. I wouldn't imagine Ambrosia to have a server like this, instead i would imagine a random and less developed community to have a server like this.
