Sorry to say this but OOO has a small team, blah blah etc. They have better things to do than put more work in this here forum.

And sadly, leaving a shadow copy in the General Discussions will just result in having more people comment on this. Just comments. Even if you submit a persuasive proposal it won't change the facts. But hey, at least you said something, right?

So, you're still going on about that without actually saying it, because all your other threads were locked?
And what Chromo said is completely accurate. OOO doesn't have many staff members and don't need to worry about moderating the forum. Do you really think they'll moderate a forum that still uses HTML?! No! You can easily tell what OOO does and doesn't care about. They don't care about: LD (The rev timer is still weird.), BN (When was the last update to that?), the forums (HTML. Ummm.). They do care about: Promos (90% of all updates are promos nowadays).

How is it hard to ignore someone on the forums? Don't click their thread or read their post. Nobody forced you to.

Tbh, since this is entirely just about certain language you don't like... coughcough... just ask for something sensible - a system like the chat filters in-game that block "offensive language" (Why do bad words even exist?) and are turned on by default - but can be turned off in the forum preferences section. That way, people can keep on with their minor infractions and you can go LALALALALALA.

If you find the forums so offensive, in addition to the fact that they will not change, how about you just vacate them? They do not add anything to the game.

TL;DR: Stop beating a dead horse.

What's with the Shadow Copy in the General Discussion?

Oh, and perma bans won't stop many people. They'll just make other accounts. If you IP ban them, you'll have siblings crying that their stupid brother/sister/aunt's third cousin who's actually a spotted leopard cheetah was the cause of everything, and there's no way to prove either way. 6 is thus only marginally effective at deterring people, and so is 4 for the same reason.

Why do bad words even exist?

This is just...what.

Alright, lemme start.

Your definition of "bad words" stems from mothers telling their children "oh now, please don't say the word rhyming with snitch ever". People I encounter who abhor these said words often just want to follow whatever their parents told them to do. I'm not saying that you're one of them, but many people who share your views on cursing do just that.

By the way, note that a game is affected by its community, and many teens play this game. Still sure about the "we can stop the cursing" shtick?

5. Encourages players to play a more pro active role in making our forum a friendlier place. I see a lot of people trying to back seat moderate. Trying to enforce the rules that aren't even in the rules provided by 000s. This way people can report an offending player by referring to a certain rule that was broken in the Official rules. All without seeming they are the law.

This is what you're trying to do. You're trying to backseat moderate.
You are now even asking for a system that accommodates your backseat moderating.

6. Everyone is now under the law. There are no exceptions. You break a rule, you are reported. You don't get away with it. There is no cheeky remark and then say what ever you want to say. Now everything you say that is in violation of the rules can easily be flagged and a small history of your offences is built up.

You said that a lot yesterday. We are not above the law.
You just can't handle the fact that the law didn't deem you in your right

Could you please realize you're the one causing a ruckus here?

"Lol this system will even stop me from having to voice my concern publicly."
I'm hoping that when you realize this won't be added, you won't "have" to keep trying to force whatever Steam uses on the SK site. FYI, some people don't like Steam.

Your logic is faulty. Making a new account means that nobody will notice. If I got banned on the forums, what's stopping me from making an account called "Squishy?" Who would know?

"3. As a result less bickering, insulting, arguing."
Um, your threads have caused more of that than I've seen in a while.

<69

There you go again, ignoring parts of a post you can't come up with a half-decent comeback for.
Zaffy sums it up perfectly.
<69

Also, it's worth mentioning that you have shown no proof that you are a moderator at Steam. You could just be a power-hungry fool who's dieing to backseat moderate.

To add on, just look at your cause. You are trying to protect the younger generation from vulgarities, sexual slangs and what not. But face it, the ones you are trying to protect are exactly the ones who are using them, and immaturely so. What I wanted to say in your previous thread was how we need to teach maturity to the younger generation, not protect them from such, because no matter what, they will be curious enough to learn them.

That's when the concept of self censoring comes up. Maturity teaches us to self censor, ensure that we don't go over our heads while conversing on a public platform such as this. We understand not everyone accepts words that are very extreme, therefore we don't say it. Sometimes we say it inconspicuously, people who understand it laugh it off, and people who don't don't.

Eventually, I still stand to my point of free speech and everything else I have stated. In other threads, I won't judge you based on what you say here. No one else cares too, you are free to come back to us. Good Night.

I'm done here.
There is no reasoning possible when you deny all arguments made and only respond in ways that benefit you.
Sort your issues out with OOO, although I think they've made it very clear where they stand on the issue.

He's exceptional at it.
He doesn't even reply to constructive criticism.
"Thanks for your input that I ignored because it invalidated my holy idea"

What Feyi said is precisely right.
It would lead to a more hostile environment where people are out to get you, and the forums would be of no enjoyment.

"But as you said to me yesterday, it's best not to respond to negative comments"
By your logic, I bet that includes constructive criticism. Any person who moderates communities (Proof? You making it out like it's not our business makes it seem even more likely that what you said is untrue.) should know that constructive criticism is important - it helps you perfect and improve an idea, and can also help win support if you respond to the criticism.
Basically, you're ignoring inquiries about the idea, and also come across as not caring what the rest of us think. Get out of your shell.

I really don't even see what the big deal is, the forums here are surprisingly clean. There are the people who use <69 regularly, but most people aren't offended, and there aren't that many who use it all the time. Curse words fly occasionally, but they are usually light, and yet again, most people don't really care about it. I can understand how some people may be offended by such "language," but they are not the majority - they need to learn to cope with life.

Nonetheless, most of the argument here is not needed, because this won't be added. Drupal doesn't support it. Who would implement it? Even if they did, the staff is so small, they could never keep up with all the troll-reports and legit reports.

The system is also too subjective. There are people who don't care at all, and there are people who think crap or darn are bad words.

I have a legitimate inquiry for you (which has to do with all of the recent threads overall), too... Seeing as you claim to be an adult, how could possibly have not known what <69 was?

I know I'm typing at a brick wall that won't respond to any of the constructive criticism, but maybe someone else will.

@Mushy-Bucket: Arcknight is speaking from experience that this system works. You are trying to tell him that it doesn't yet he has first hand experience that it does. Whether you are right or not, it seems as if he has more credentials in this area than you do. Do you or Feyi have first hand experience with a community and the mechanic he is suggesting?

Also, I do think you all should drop your emotions from yesterday and stop trying to shoot the idea down simply because of yesterday. Even if it is connected, have some decency.

He hasn't proved anything yet. He could just be a hobo that hacked somebody's computer to post this, much less a Steam mod.

"This will stop all forms of rule breaking. Please don't tell me no rule breaking goes on in this forum."
I plainly said that there IS rulebreaking here. Re-read the post. I simply said that most people here don't care about language, and seeing as it usually light, the staff hasn't given it much notice either.

You're not acting like a professional moderator in the way that you hide from anything that could possibly degrade your argument.

"Also, I do think you all should drop your emotions from yesterday and stop trying to shoot the idea down simply because of yesterday. Even if it is connected, have some decency."
It's completely connected to yesterday. He doesn't seem to see that the staff in fact does not seem to take much interest in these ideas, seeing as they locked and graveyarded all the previous threads, and gave him the relatively standard E-mail about suggestions.

Basically, he just doesn't seem to want to accept that:
A. The community generally is not in support of this
B. This is not feasible. There is no way they can set a full site up again on a different provider besides Drupal - they have no web designer.

My honest recommendation to you, Arc, is that if you love moderating oh so much, go do it on Steam, where you're supposedly a mod.

Now then, I await a response that ignores 90% of my post.
