Cursing/Swearing

[liontamer1]

 "Keep Appropriate Language And Behavior
This game is aimed towards a wide user-base of all ages and therefore you must keep the language and other behavior to an appropriate level that works for everyone. Swearing inside of the public chats is NOT allowed or encouraged by anyone. Even if you censor your writings and they still represent an obvious curse/swear you might get warned/kicked/banned instantly upon notice, this is because we want to keep FeralHeart a friendly place for the majority..."  Red said so himself, and yet people ignore this warning. I will never TRULY understand why people swear and curse, and it aggravates me. Who needs to swear inside the public chat rooms? There are people of various ages playing this game, some of them as young as 8. What if there parents saw that? They would think poorly of FeralHeart and might even ban their children from playing. Well, not even that. You are exposing them to swearing and most likely an 8 year old will pick up on that and repeat the swear/curse in-game or in the real world. Most people I know that swear don't realize that some of us do not like it. You can get your point across without swearing and or cursing and people will get it fine. Some people think that they're safe behind their screen, but you are not. Let me repeat you are not! Even online you must face your actions and pay the price. Which as Red stated, you will get kicked, warned or even banned. So to those people who swear, think about the meaning of your words and how it will effect others around you. 'Nuff of the rant, what do you think? Try not to re-state anything that anyone has said. Also, keep in mind that everyone has feelings and opinions, and they are entitled to them. This is about YOU and if you are against or with swearing.

I like this.
This explains how I started cursing. When I was about eleven I would be typing to people and I would just pick up on their cursing. I kinda stopped on my own when I realized how stupid and unnecessary it was. (Not to mention how many times I got in trouble for it...) On Feral-heart I wouldn't even think about it because of all the kids I see on here. It would just make me feel bad to contribute filthy habits to good kids.

Totally agree with this.
I mean, swearing is fine outside of this community if you so like, but considering that much of the player base is quite young, I am actually sometimes quite disturbed by what goes on 0.o some people do it just to be attention seeking, trolls and the such. It's totally unnecessary, and in my opinion just shows people's lack of creativeness at expressing frustration x)

Thank you! I am glad to hear how you stopped on your own, I wish more people were like you!

Yehhh......... I see the swears everywhere.......... Movie clips, local, general. Why cant some people understand such a simple rule? 

[Silvertide]

I never ever ever curse or swear in real life. Ever. A curse word has only come out of my mouth at the most, 5-7 times. But I used to to curse on FH because I thought,"I'm not saying it, I'm just typing it." But it doesn't matter, you are still cursing. So I stopped, and my cursing days were over for good.

xD you guys in flourite right now or something?
The kids in general have been talking about cussing for what seems like  30mins now :L
I hate when people use general to talk/debate/argue about such things, in fact anything.
It's not what general is suppose to be used for but I guess it can't be helped.

But I agree I never cuss ever here  just out of respect, heck I don't even swear irl unless I'm alone or around people I know don't take offense to it. Even then my swearing is minor and never used as an insult more like an outbrust. ~Game Rage~ T3T lol

I agree with you, liontamer.
Some people just don't realize that cursing/swearing offends some people. There are some who are not bothered by it, but then there are others who find it very rude, offensive, and just plain tacky.
I see it all the time with people who get in arguements on the game. Then they start slinging some swear words at each other, offending everyone else around them. Geez, whenever someone trolls/harrasses/annoys/taunts me, I don't waste my time swearing at them.... I block them, simple as that. Not swearing and cursing shows some respect to other players around you.
And you're right about how it could influence younger players to start cursing/swearing in local chats too. They see other's doing it and automatically think it's okay, but it isn't. Unless they get caught and reported for it, they will likely continue to do it. They could think "I haven't gotten into any trouble over it. It's no big deal"
....So yeah. That's all I have to say.

Oi... First of all, childeren under 13 shouldnt play this game if they cant handle _WORDS_ on a stupid screen. I don't understand why parents let 8 year old illiterates even TOUCH the computer, people! Or at least show them Freerealms that will entertain them for a while enough e.e
