This guy has to be like 11 or something. Seriously. Fuck, he's making me rage, GO BACK TO WoW YOU LAZY LITTLE BRAT!!!!!

[Byrthnoth]

One of you is secretly katiekat, right? That little gem flew by me last night.

[Kensagaku]

Rofl, I notice them, but I just noticed their signature. Whoever that troll is, they're good.

[Cail]

i dont see the NM change their gear while we hit them why should we

lulz x1000

[Raen Ryong]

The "THF and DNC" thread kept a nice sub-50% stupid posts rating. I think that's about to change though.

I think that's about the only thread on the forums that I've actually had intelligent discussion on ;o probably biased since I made it but hey.

You just jinxed it now

[isladar]

How strict are they on language as far as cussing goes?

[Byrthnoth]

I think I jinxed it in the post he quoted, haha. Oh well!

I was thinking that one thing we could do would be to "Like" bomb good posts. I don't know if mods use that as a criteria for what they look at, but it might be worth actually using the "Like" system. For instance, we could like bomb Raen's OP and see if it ever gets a reply from a mod.

Edit: Re- Isladar
I'm not sure. I haven't seen any cursing, but I tend not to go into threads that look stupid from the subject line. They probably remove curses when they see them a la Alla (lol). I've been looking to use cuntwaffle ever since someone posted it here a while ago, but I haven't gotten an opportunity.

[Mairja]

Hard to tell, I don't think I have seen any posts with a lot of curse words or really bad curse words, lol. I guess most people are being extra careful, it being the official forum and all.


Cuntwaffle has to be the funniest curse word ever.

Does this suggest the possibility that Isladar is preparing to unleash her wrath on these forums? If so, I want a front row seat and a bowl of popcorn. ^^

[isladar]

Actually I was thinking if they're quite strict with the standard ones I was going to write up a list of completely ridiculous ones and let you guys run off with them.

[LidenbokValour]

-_- no thanks i dont want to carry stupid gear with no stats only for element resistance i dont see the NM change their gear while we hit them why should we

Is this guy actually 100% serious?

[Kensagaku]

Awww... /disappointed

Oh well. As far as I know? I've seen people get away with swearing a few times here and there. Mostly "damns" and such, the mild cursing. The more offensive stuff (see: anything Kuishen posts on that forum) tends to get cracked down on quickly.

Oh hey look, I found an example, ironically one of Kuishen's: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...ll=1#post73768

[Kuishen]

To answer your question Isla, since I've probably had my posts removed/edited the most. Any general cussing that isn't directed AT anyone has a 50/50 chance of being removed, prolly won't receive a ban for it.

Any cussing that is specifically directed at somebody (see: "Get the fuck out.") has either been removed 100% or gotten me a ban for 15 hours or however long they do it.

[blowfin]

(side note, it's once per minute since /thf TA isn't critical but meh. Easy mistake)

And on a further note, there's a significant difference between giving DRK the ability to critical weaponskills natively and pushing them into /thf. Even if you strictly 100% mean criticalling weaponskills and nothing else, subbing thf is hardly a "problem solved" by any means.

Still, impressive quote pyramid or not, I never explicitly said it would increase your damage output over other subs. Im not sure why you insist on riding that point like some sort of scabby whore.

[Lyall]

Get torcleaver, sub thf. Problem solved.

You're implying that DRK's damage solution is solved with an Empy WS and thief sub. Yes, I know that isn't what you're explicitly talking about, but you can't throw that out as a conversation piece, going so far as to call a problem "solved" and then double-back and pretend that's not the solution.

You're just dodging into ambiguous grey areas to not be wrong.

Re cursing: I've definitely gotten away with Fuck plenty of times, but I've had stuff like "shit" and "God damn" removed when it's obvious the person I'm arguing with is spam reporting my posts. It's just a matter of context.

[Fiarlia]

I agree about context, if a person is being excessive and/or pointedly using it directed at a person, it'll likely get modded. But if it's used in more of a general way of speaking, it's usually left alone.

There was also one post that GG had modded that I think was awesome, they removed the part itself that was a violation, but left the rest of it intact, which was telling someone how wrong they were. That gave me some hope for the moderators of that forum.

How 'bout cursing in foreign languages? The more obscure the better.
