I REALLY hate not being able to use my own PC so much... Well, short venting aside, I'll gladly share my views on this issue.

Not taking my thoughts on public opinion on televesion/games/whatever in general into consideration, I think we should make the chat policy on language/content usage more clear than the vague description it has at present. I already stated in another message where I believe we should start when it comes to what kind of language I believe should be censored from the main chat, so allow me to quote myself again:

Genesjs wrote: Perhaps we should start with listing some of the more obvious choices when the term "heavy swearing" comes to mind. For example:


 * Fuck
 * God Damn/Goddamn
 * Shit
 * Dick/Pussy (as in genitalia), and other offensive variations thereof
 * Racial slang such as "Niggerr", "White Trash", etc. (as noted by others)
 * Whore/Slut/Skank
 * Etc.

These are some that come to the top of my mind. I would certainly like to see this kind of language prohibited. If anyone has any other suggestions, please list them.

As for content, I've already mentioned pornographic content as one. I don't think I need to elaborate on that. That, and just personal information in general should not be shared in a public forum unless all parties involved are okay with it. Basically, nothing personal or blatantly inappropriate. While I know that the Chat/Wiki's policies is already somewhat clear on that, I did start this thread as a reminder to all the Mods/Admins to be sure they are enforcing policies like this just in case they weren't (I am NOT saying anyone ACTUALLY has in this case).

TL;DR version: I wanna make the chat policies on langauge and/or content discussed in the main chat less vague than what is presently written, if the problem stems from too much personal interpretation of the rules rather than some Mods/Admins not doing their jobs properly.
