Returning civility to these forums

Postby Matt-Chicago » Tue Jul 03, 2012 3:21 pm

To all SWGO forum members.

Things have gotten off track here for a number of reasons, but the forum moderators have decided enough is enough.

We are asking everyone to improve their attitudes and language, no more relying on the word filter, no more mean/nasty trolling.

We started this community to be a fun, friendly place for people who love playing SWBF2 and other Star Wars games online. I think we have succeeded more than we have failed, but we are trending in the wrong direction.

Don't be offended if you get warned for something, just try to take the advice of the warning.
If you get warned and don't heed the advice, don't complain if you get banned.

Thanks to all who contribute to the community, let's keep it alive and keep it fun for all.

Politeness is a discipline that compels respectful behavior. Morality is like a politeness of the soul, an etiquette of the inner life, a code of duties, a ceremonial of the essential.

If you don't want us to rely on the word filter, why make it in the first place

Sir, I will be civil when you use the correct version of "forum". Until then I will have to engage in fisticuffs with the demand that you have placed upon this community.



please don't ban me please please please

For the new people who don't know how to behave maturely. There are still young kids who look at the posts and I wouldn't want them to see the crude language that gets used sometimes either.

Matt already got a break by artificially increasing his post count by almost a thousand posts, Nite. No mercy.

I've seen way too much profanity on these forums recently, therefore I respect and thank Matt for speaking up. Narg, I thought you had the intelligence to stop, and know when you went too far. But you went too far and lost alot of respect from me in the process. Please, just pipe down and stop disrespecting so many people.

Crazy, the word filter is there to stop someone shouting out derogatory terms; and to stop people seeing them. The filter has been abused recently.

I think everyone on these forums can look at what Matt's posted, and think what they can do to help make these forums become more friendly.
