I think most of what I'm going to say has been said already but I might as well chip in here. I don't think there should be a new/extended rule about what/is/isn't correct to say in chat. Most of it comes down to basic fucking common sense however as well all know sometimes we don't use that.

Honestly, chat is already such a diverse melting pot of cultures and people from all around the world, there's always the chance something we say is going to piss off someone else. The best we can do, is apologize, move on from it, maybe think a bit before we speak in the future. BUT everyone else needs to know, that you can't censor the internet, we live in an age of digital anonymity in which you can say nearly anything you want from behind an avatar. This means that people will probably still say shit you find offensive, is it going to be directed at you? Probably not, is it easy to sorta just move past it and move one? IMO yes.

That said if you have mentioned to someone that you don't appreciate something that they say, and they continue to say it directed towards you, and not just in passing, mention it to a mod, and we'll take action to deal with it.

Look, I'm an Aussie, and a fair few of us, use the word 'cunt' in a very casual term, to the point where it's nearly a term of endearment similar to 'friend' to where 'sup cunt' is an appropriate greeting to some friends of mine. I'm probably not going to censor myself and I'll probably use cunt in my speaking everyday, does that mean it's directed at you? NO, simple as that.

Now speaking as a mod, we do appreciate when dealing with people, for a minimum amount of smartcunty backchat, whenever possible, if you've done something wrong, take the slap on the wrist you're probably getting and move the fuck on, otherwise it just spirals out of control into something no one wanted.

That's all I wanted to say, hope I've shed some light on the issue, and if I've offended anyone with my liberal use of the word cunt, then this is for you.

Good Day
