Furthermore, when these rules get abused they effect the community (the one thing that has kept the game alive). Surely this should be an important aspect to evaluate? Saying 'fuck it' without analyzing the decision as far as that would seem like a disservice to the community.
'trust us bro' isn't working for me.
Why not just remove the chat feature all together - I mean, if nobody can talk then there will be no bigots or racism right? #superiorlogic
I honestly don't even see how this will be abused by anyone, harassment and slurring will be looked at on a case by case basis and people will use common sense to look at the case. One of the advantages of how small our community is that it allows most if not all cases to be analyzed by a human (or multiple in difficult situations.) If you think someone's going to get banned because they said fucking hell at the end of a duel because they lost then you're being delusional. This rule is solely here to punish people who consistently slur or go after someone in an unwanted manner. And as said, if you want to slur with your buds you still can you just need to turn on maxclients and set a password.
