a1k0n on the guides all i ask is that some standard be set so that all the guides go buy it. from what i could tell its pretty much what they personaly believe as bad.

hazaanko, chewy: knock it off. I'm "censoring" your banter.

chewy, the guidelines for guides do exist. No matter what we set for a "standard", though, a guide must use his descretion. We don't say "this word is bad and this word is less bad". Otherwise we could just have the Guide Algorithm which mutes you if you trigger it. That's not acceptible; you need a human.

Guides don't care about swears in particular, actually, it's more about verbally abusing/insulting other players whether you're swearing or not. Chat filters won't catch a flurry of insults.

Anyway, someone else can explain in more detail.

a1k0n, that is takin it a bit over the top.
what i'm saying is, you have the /ignore option and the chat filter which are both designed to remove certain things.
instead of the Guides worring about verbaly abusing/insulting they should just suggest to that person to use the filter or the /ignore.
i'm shure thats what their for. the guides do have the ability to tell them that and should do so.
the only reason anyone really swears in game is to insult someone who has just ousted them pretty bad.
too many noobs do this, so it would just be better if the guides pointed out the /ignore and chat filter.

PS "censoring" banter does not compute.

I just know this...when ever there are verbal abusers on...there is never a guide. I've seen a few people just get overwhelmingly upset and you see them swearing back and forth and then stuff that shouldn't be said gets thrown in there due to a death or something.

There needs to be atleast 1 or 2 more who can watch the chat more offen.

Well, if there was a way to become a guide, maybe more people would do it.

Thank you... And chewy, _I'm_ the only one who's allowed to give out cookies. I take care of the cookie domain, and SL takes care of the pies. Simple as that.
I'd love for there to be a guide application, since according to the devs there's only one... I've seen some n00bs who have said things along the lines of "all gay people must die" or "this game sucks because of people like you" (you meaning people like me who don't exploit or pirate, etc., while they were cursing heavily) multiple times...

Apr 27, 2003 Suicidal Lemming link
No, milk chocolate is the best, runner up is white chocolate, too much white chocolate makes me sick though.
Apr 27, 2003 hazaanko link
Yeh white chocolate is like devilled eggs.
Apr 27, 2003 Pyro link
Bah. Milk chocolate. 'Tis weak and puny... :P Besides, dark chocolate lasts longer because you take smaller bites!
