Minerealm Community Forums

Maybe its not a big deal but I think Some one who is about to report someone for foul language should not use some while doing so. Maybe I am wrong but I just think Admins should be held to a higher standard but If you all don't care I don't care.

Let me get this straight. You're trying to report an admin for foul language. Foul language on Minerealm is considered cursing or just straight vulgarity. Panthers called someone retarded. While that may not be a very politically correct way of putting things, it's not someone any of the staff would reprimand something for. If you REALLY cared about the usage of retard, you wouldn't have put it into the title of your post.

If I could, I would laugh at you, but, since I can't, I will do this:
:lol:

Form a committee, Panther has clearly gone insane, who promoted him to admin?!?

:roll:

So I tell a guy to stop swearing (giving him a warning, assuming he is an intellectual). Actually, here is the general situation:

Him: "F**k this server."
Me: "Stop swearing." (I didn't say please, sorry P-C people).
Him: Literally, and the / indicates a new message: "F**k F**k F**k / c**t c**t c**t / sh*t sh*t sh*t".
Me: *Banned for swearing* "What a retard, lol."


So apparently someone that clearly has no respect for the entire server, is over the age of 13, or can understand a simple direction, is to be protected from name-calling? Oh please.

And this political correct nonsense needs to stop. When you sensitize the word "retarded", you make any person who may be mentally challenged more of an outcast than when you accept it as a common phrase. You make it seem like some alien, unspeakable group of people, and frankly, I like to respect those who have more mental difficulties than the rest of us, by showing that they aren't some out-casted group of people that we dare not speak of.

Furthermore, even if I were at fault by calling someone retarded, why on Earth would we protect someone who literally swore nine times in all of our faces after I told him to stop? Don't try to defend their "rights", there is nothing to defend here.

Furthermore *2, why are you assuming the word retard refers to a mentally challenged person? I never said that, did you say that? In my book, retard = an idiot; a non-personal insult directed at someone who is clearly deserving of no-one's respect. So, why do people automatically associate the word retard with mentally challenged? I surely don't.

Should I get in trouble if I call a rapist a "horny pervert?" That's offensive, isn't it? Poor fella, I'm putting him down.

No, please. Keep this server human. We don't need this political correctness nonsense; it does no good here.




However, your complaint is duly noted, and as me saying it is causing some upset with you, I will no longer use that word, on the simple grounds that I wish to meet the player-base's best interests. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable, and for that respect for you as a person I will not use the word "retard". Your reasoning is what irritates me, but your intentions are very logical, and like I said twice: I will refrain from using the word.

if your offended at the word retard, then you need to not ever use the internet, or talk to human beings casually in any form at all actually, or else you may run the risk of being constantly offended.

No one can take a joke anymore.

wait this is a joke thread?

No Eplawsl, I meant it as in if you say something, people will interpret differently. Some might take offence, might not, depends on the person. In this situation, Panthers called someone retarded as in a describing word for stupid, not the mental chromosonal disorder. SLANG. STEREOTYPES.

EX: Saying that a box that drops on someone's foot is retarded. It's not a box with a disorder, it's just slang in my area for dumb or stupid, not necessarily the disorder. Other people in my area would know what I'm talking about, but a person unknown to the slang would be confused.
