We talked about it awhile ago to make it so NO HARD R's are allowed. However, do you guys think this needs to be changed now? I don't want to be too strict, but there's definitely a fine line there.
Like I said earlier in this thread( Here: http://forerunnergaming.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=5794&pid=54496#pid54496 ), either both of the N words should be allowed, or neither of them.
If we allowed use of the N word, I feel like people wouldn't say it as often as you may think. Think about it, we allowed people to say "nigga", but how often do people actually say it? When people aren't allowed to say a word, they want to say it more, and then when they are allowed to, they loose interest. Yeah, the first few days we allowed the word people are gonna say it quite often, but it will die down fast.
But I'm ok with either both of them being ok, or neither of them.
The reason one is allowed and one is not is because there are people that generally talk like that. They will be like "yo nigga that was a good shot." or something similar to that. Do you see how that has no ill intent whatsoever? When we don't allow nigga to be said people on gmod tend to get "rule happy" "omg he said a word that is against the rules that's a ban." The hard R word is never used without ill intent. People who try to use nigga in place of the hard R for ill intent is still against the rules.
All this being said, I def don't think they should both be allowed. Playing battlegrounds on NA servers makes me cringe so hard in the loading lobby. I think I have been in 2-3 lobbies in my 100+ hoursp laytime where nobody said the N word. It's so toxic.
Well, I forgot to mention that if it's being used in a hurtful or mean way toward another player, then it would be punishable.
But getting banned for just saying the N word seems a bit harsh, even if it isn't directed at anyone. Like I said though, either both of them should be allowed, or neither should.
