If you're afraid of that, then you better stay away from the internet completely.
Pretty harsh there, Skye. You need to keep those thoughts to yourself and speak in terms of young children. Perhaps you weren't raised the way most kids were?

I hate swearing, but I put up with it. I'd rather block it out completely, ESPECIALLY when young children are present. That language is not good at all... it's used in more negative contexts than good ones. Don't attempt to make us more like you in this regard...

Sorry Alpha, I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Kids these days are going to exposed to language eventually, and no one can prevent them from learning those words.  Personally, I love swearing, it's funny and a great way to relieve stress. Also, your point of " Don't attempt to make us more like you in this regard..." - are you not doing the same exact thing by enforcing a strict profanity filter?

Is pornography going to be a norm in the future then? Because kids get exposed to that, are we just going to say that's going to be inevitable too? The goal is to stop it while we can...

What a cruel world.

I agree with alpha! Swearing is stupid and personally people who swear all the time in every second sentence i think are stupid and silly! Kids should be exposed to stuff! I know a seven year old who says the f word. His parents crack down on it but he is now saying more and more swear word as he gets older. Now i don't think that is what we want in society today. A forum filter is good in my opinion and kids are seeing and hearing stuff to inappropriate these days even i am hearing stuff which i shouldn't be! So we need to be a more caring and user friendly community and not swear as much. But, also learn to control are anger by not having rants and swearing, not griefing! we should be enforcing this more than we already are!

Pornography is pretty normal nowadays though, it's probably one of the biggest industries on the planet. Also, it's already pretty inevitable that a child will find out about pornography one way or another, if you try to hide something a child will become curious and ask about it. I think it's better to educate them on the subject instead of hiding it, maybe when they're at an appropriate age though.

Unless you have no access to a computer for your entire life, then yes, it's inevitable. Evryone's going to find out about it one way or another. Same as swearing. I think it's better to teach them it's wrong than to try and hide it.

an idea that just occured to me was to have three main seperate chat channels. If the issue on profanity is so diversely objective, then why not?

1. All - The standard chat. Moderate swearing allowed, nothing serious.
2. Mature - All types of swearing and profanity allowed. If a player repeatedly uses it to insult / harass another player, however, then they will be punished.
3. Youth - No swearing, clean chat. Swearing is a reportable offense in this chat.

That seems like a lot of work, and kinda pointless to me? We should all talk together..

I'm here to help.. With the following exception:



@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.LOW)
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    if (player.getName().equals("SGT_ADZ") {
        player.kickPlayer("Yeah... Nah!");
        return;
    }
}

It would be pointless! I agree with nos because how do you know who is joining which channel! So really it is pointless. Alot of servers that go well have swearing filters because parents allow them and think it is a safe place for them to play and appropriate. Even with separate chat channels how do you control who is on which channel! So Merc swearing isn't the best, i get offended when people swear rudely at me. I believe so do many! We should have a filter to make are community a safer more child friendly place which would result in a bigger community growth and that is what i think is best for the server!

Not sure what universe you live in, but parents are exactly taking a gander at our community and giving it the golden seal of approval.
