Title: dayban
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/09/03 at 10:05:31
gah. i was going to fight someone in arena today and like every nm player knows when you fight in arena you use countdown.

this person (and his friends) just went into the arena allmost killed one of my crits then left the arena square again and got back to finish killing my crits right after that.

before i knew what was going on 2 of my crits were dead so i left the arena and telling them they were ******* ******.

because of this my system got banned for a day. Now i know you can't swear and all but i do think there should be a warning first or something cuz i was soooo mad at this that i just didn't think before i said it (nor do i think anyone there had a big problem with it)

and then one more thing. since i can't use my crits at the moment i wanted to roll some crits but that's not even allowed. How can i do any harm to the game by rolling crits? maybe this can be changed so i can roll crits (instead of play'n nm 8 hours a day now i could try to roll crits instead).

I do think that banning someone without even one warning is just lame.

I have to agree, he said one thing wrong, which should have that crit banned I agree, but to get your whole comp banned? That just seems a little over the top.

try saying one thing wrong and having every high lvl alt you owned banned for a week altho they were'nt even online at the time.. this was after the 24 hour comp ban of course.

maybe if you have some self control and some respect for other players, you wouldnt get banned.

lol going into an arena and not using countdown just macroing crits and attacking shows alot less respect then getting angry at them after such a thing.

Humans are capable of building devices so complicated they can send you to the moon, they have succeeded in using their magnificent minds to create computers, cars, and aeroplanes. The human mind is perfectly capable of obeying a simple instruction saying do not swear in game, and there is no excuse for not being able to comply with this.

Oh and edit - you are warned. You know the rule is in place, and your warning is in the logon message every time you connect.

To Prince:  ::)  ::)  ::)
 As for the not being warned part of this thread.  It's only a day ban.  And be honest is this really the first time you have ever cursed in nm?  I'm thinking I can safely assume that it isnt.  Also you could have just paged them.

There should be no reason for you to be swearing in open chat or through a page regardless, due to every time you log on, you are shown the text that says, "As this is a game for all ages you may have your computer banned for up to a week unless you keep all chat clean," meaning that IS your warning. Making a post about it is, what happens to seem to be your favorite word, 'Lame.'

Pandilex (Gir)... Is there a reason not to "comply" with the rule saying staff crits can't pk players without reason? Doesn't seem to stop them...

Oh for gods sake quit it with the 'holier than thou' act, all of you. Your all just trying to big note yourselves, trying to make yourselves out to be something your not, when I am 100% sure all of you have sworn in game, let alone broken any other rules. If you repugnant little pukes were also to get banned, there is no doubt you would carry on like a child who has had his lolly pop taken, smacked on bum, and pushed in the mud.

Get over yourselves, your not doing yourselves any favours by trying to brown nose it up.

Post by dognapot on 03/09/03 at 22:44:34
i've never said anything by accident on this game. if that happened to me, maybe i'd curse outloud once, maybe i'd laugh too. i certainly wouldn't have typed curse words out instinctually.
Title: Re: dayban
Post by WiCkEd_PhReAk on 03/09/03 at 22:54:18
Like dognapot said, there is nothing that i've ever said in game that I hadn't meant, yet, I have the common sense to say it in clan chat, or to people on my friend list who couldn't give 2 shakes of a dogs leg less. If I were to be banned for swearing, I wouldn't care in the slightest, due to it being an infraction of the rules. I'm not saying I dont curse in game, i'm just saying I have the common sense to not say it in open chat or in a yell for that matter. So there IS a doubt that I wouldn't carry on 'like a child' if I were to get banned for swearing due to it happening before, it happens, you get banned. As for the brown nosing it up, that's a laugh, i've no need to brown nose, to anyone.
Title: Re: dayban
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/10/03 at 07:35:25
dudes you all totally miss my point. i sweared and it was wonr i know but my point is they should bane the crit i sweared with first as a warning and then ban my comp instead of just banning my comp all at once.
Title: Re: dayban
Post by Tender_Foot on 03/10/03 at 07:56:36
i have cussed 4 times in yells, i have been banned 4 times, i have actually matured a lot since i started playing. when i cuss its in a page or in party chat with 1 person who is a good friend. I realize i should have been banned, and just because something of mine was stolen, or i was pk'ed, is no reason to swear. Oh well if you died once, you can make up the exp

Post by Codric on 03/10/03 at 08:03:48
dude most people hear swearing everyday....like when you talk on a chat...people swear...y cant it be the same in here....btw comes to another conclusion....y are they banning if you say b*tch or fuk or stuff like that ...its not the correct spelling if ya look the word up in the dictionary it says abosulty nothing....
Title: Re: dayban
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/10/03 at 08:35:51
lol today i heard my 5 year old neighbour kid say 3 times sh*t and f*ck twice lol and i'm pretty sure he doesn't play nm. i can't immagine that there are ppl that play this game have never heard anyone swear. I'm ok with the rule about no swearing and all and i was wrong just back to the point where i thin you should ban the crit that was sweared with first and then if someone swears again on an alt you ban the comp.
Title: Re: dayban
Post by Tender_Foot on 03/11/03 at 01:37:02
the reason, is because this is a game ment for all ages. Also, most 5 years olds dont cuss. And along the lines of abreviations and 1 letter bleap in a cussword, i would ban for that if i was a sysop, its the same thing as cussing
Title: Re: dayban
Post by Despised on 03/11/03 at 01:45:47
there is a warning when you log on the game that is all you need. you know right from wrong and the laws of the game. deal with it in fact i think your warning should be a day ban. and 2 time should be a week or so.. If staff did not look over this game it would no to hell. not to say all the young kids moms abd dads trying to sue nm for having a all age game with all kid of non "kid teen" talk
Title: Re: dayban
Post by dancergurl on 03/18/03 at 23:20:49
ok i just have to say that i agree with despised. We dont know how young some of these kids are that are on this game. And yes, there is the warning in the text right when you log on stating that if you swear you will be banded. Simple as that, just follow the rules people. No matter how angry you are that is no excuse to swear. There are other things you could do/say instead of it. Also instead of going and getting your panties in a bunch over getting banded just remember that its just a game. ok. thats all.  ;)

Post by Oblivion on 03/19/03 at 00:46:22
I think the whole rule is BS.
I mean come on, anyone with enough intelligence, to actually play Nightmist(type N and place enter), has already heard Swearing..

whats the big deal? Its just Words.. If you get offended by swearing, then I feel sorry for you.

Swearing for about 90% of the people, is just common..
The other 10% hear it. They just might not cuss(church people and such).
Sometimes on the forums, I have to go back and reread what I type and take out all the swearing words..

Why? Because its so common.
And it slips in the game from time to time. Not the persons fault at all, its just common..
Title: Re: dayban
Post by Tender_Foot on 03/19/03 at 02:33:59
church people are not the only people who dont cuss, and for that matter cuss themselves. it is just plainly disrespectful to cuss infront of someone.
Title: Re: dayban
Post by Momba on 03/19/03 at 14:33:40
In looking over the discussion forum I see you have two post in which you are complaining about being banned for swearing. On this post you asked the question about a warning.
I`m kinda thinking that maybe, just maybe the first time you got banned for swearing shoulda through a red flag up and said,"Hey I`m not aloud to swear in open chat or pages in this game".
In the event that this post is refering to your first time banned for this offense you might have realized that a warning is clearly posted upon logging a crit which reads as follows
As this is a game for all ages you may have your computer banned for up to a week unless you keep all chat clean.

And to think all this time we thought JLH didn`t do anything ;)
Title: Re: dayban
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/19/03 at 14:36:29
dude i totally forgot what i wrote in the other thread but all i'm say'n is that when you swear on a crit that crit should be banned. if you swear again on a diff crit your comp should be banned. so like the first crit ban is a warning that sais "if you swear again your comp is gonna be banned".

Haha, then there must be a lot of disrespectful people in the world.  And no its not disrespectful, unless your one of those people who hate swearing, which isn't that many.

You remind me of this kid at my school I use to go to, who always says, "You shouldn't do that, you should do your own work, don't cheat, your only hurting yourself."
He always trys to inforce the school rules. Hes like a teacher's pet lol.

Noone ever liked him lol.

Post by Valentine on 03/19/03 at 18:13:06
I think the point is it's disrespectful to cuss in front of people you don't know.

Think of it this way, would you go into a job interview and answer the "Why do you think you are perfect for this job?" with "I've enjoyed f***ing with computers my whole life."

Likewise, do you tell the woman at the drive-thru window you want a g**d**n cheeseburger, or sit at the park surrounded by kids while talking about all the "s**t" you and your buddies did last night?

And no, I don't want to hear that yes you are a spoiled brat who doesn't give a flying pig about your fellow human beings.

It's amazing the things some people fight against...of all things in NM to complain about, you choose this??
Title: Re: dayban
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/19/03 at 18:35:58
there's a big difference between text and spoken word and there is also a big difference between a job interview and a game.

i swer when i'm among friends evenw hen other ppl i don't know are around me. that's the way it is with nm too when i'm among friends i swear it jsut so happens some other ppl might read it too.

Post by Insomnia on 03/19/03 at 19:40:38
Haven't read through anything but the first post, you're saying that it's lame to be banned without a single warning... EVery time you log on to nightmist, you get a message saying "As this is a game for all ages you may have your computer banned for up to a week unless you keep all chat clean." (at least I do), isn't that enough?

Why not just filter out out bad words? "Man I am so hamstering mad I just hamstering got hamstering pk'ed what the hamster is their hamstering problem" Now that would be cool.
Title: Re: dayban
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/19/03 at 20:08:42
i agree with that filter em out :D

just like **** and nuts on this forum :D
Title: Re: dayban
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 03/19/03 at 20:10:14
btw i do think you can dayban someone immediately once they swear even when bad words are filtered since there is a way around the filter :D
Title: Re: dayban
Post by newb on 03/19/03 at 20:19:48
well, it would reduce curse words seen in-game. As far as getting around it, its still considered cussing so that's their problem. Unless JLH decides to add things like d a m n or d_a_m_n
Title: Re: dayban
Post by JLH on 03/19/03 at 20:26:07
I will not add a filter, since there is no point, you'll just use *'s or _'s or other letters to change the word but still get the meaning across, which is still a banable offense.
You do not need to swear, and if you do so and get caught, you may get banned as the start message says.

*yawn*, when the hell did NM have to do anything with RL lol.
And, I swear, around friends and people I know, which is basically about 90% of the time.. The other 10% would be job interviews, and such.

Like I said in my last post, its common for a lot of people.

Spoiled brat? Far From it.. Try use something a little more clever and meaningfull then that over used frased which you based your point of views from someone you've never seen in RL.. You can't make any sort of judgement, you have not seen me in RL, and have no idea how I act.

And, val, why not go waste time else where, then try make some smart *** reply to my post.. I could really careless about your useless views.
