Joe Keyblade Aura Come chat! — You shouldn't judge anyone based on appearance. Dance, water, dance! — 03:18, January 23, 2010 (UTC) I would like to tell that on the IRC certain Mods on the IRC and Hexedmagica And Rocker7898 Have been braking the rule of not major swears like the F word and other profanity I think we should delete the IRC chanel If these people don't stop swearing

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — I once took an IQ test and got a score of over 9000. You're all morons. — 03:19, January 23, 2010 (UTC) Deleting the IRC channel might be a bit drastic. But that doesn't mean we can't fix the problem. (Then again I have no power over that...)

Hexrezi NO 1 C4NT S33 YOU DUMB4SS BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3S1G4T1ON !! Who cares? Fuck is not a major swear/insult. A major insult is like caling one's mother a prostitute. Man up loljoe.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? ...Um, no Hex, it actually is a major swear word. I don't know where you're from, but where I come from that is the swear word.

SUPER SWORD-CHUCKS Talk Page, yo! — I like swords! Sword-Chucks, yo!— 03:57, January 23, 2010 (UTC) I don't recall seeing in here that there is anything about "swearing" being against the rules. And Rocker isn't online, is she? …Thought not. Anyways, your solution to this is… Not so great. For one thing, if you are offended by swears, why bother going? We're all people; we're no one's slaves to control and manipulate. In other words, I mean, we're people and you can't control the amount of profanity coming out of our text boxes. For another, if we actually do this, it will be back to spamming the talk pages. And I don't enjoy seeing Wiki mail about my talk page being spammitied with trivial matters.

Hexrezi NO 1 C4NT S33 YOU DUMB4SS BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3S1G4T1ON !! LS, Fuck is nothing. it's used so much it's lost all meaning.

This seems a petty complaint from someone who vexes others on the IRC channel and abuses the /me function. Also, seeking to delete the IRC channel because they were banned is an ignorant move. Why ruin it for everyone, hm? But I digress, do I like swearing? Nah, not really. I'm used to hearing the swears from school and such. I honestly don't care about the swearing as long as it isn't excessive and deragatory. If a user is excessively saying swears and bashing other users with it, then I see a problem. But if its to say something like "Oh crap, that stinks." I don't see a problem. In short: Do I like/use swears? No. Do I have anything against them? As long as they aren't excessive and deragatory against other users, I don't see a problem. Are there better words to use then swears? Of course, but I don't believe we have the right (on the IRC) to tell a user what they can/cannot type. Wouldn't that be invading their rights? Xion4ever Who am I? — 04:06, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Simply deleting the IRC is a simplistic, foolish move, but how is it invading personal rights to ask users to be considerate of other users? We have plenty of users that are rather young and even some users (myself included) that are in their mid-teens are offended by certain swear words. It's just simple edicate.

Hexrezi NO 1 C4NT S33 YOU DUMB4SS BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3S1G4T1ON !! Sorry to but in, but a little note of reference: It's impossible for us to delete the IRC channel.

Like I mentioned earlier, if its occassional and not excessive/bashing I don't really have a problem with it. I not particularly fond of curse words, but its just a reality we must accept; people are going to curse, we cannot stop that. About the user rights, it would be like me kicking a user for saying "suck" or "hell" since I find those offensive (this is an example)! My point is, there will be cursing/swears everywhere and anywhere you go, that is just a fact we must accept. I propose that we (operators and users) do our best to minimalize swearing and such on the IRC channel. This will lower some of the swearing and such. To be honest, I haven't really seen a major/noteworthy problem with cursing on the channel as of late. I've seen the occasional "hell", "sucks", and (RARELY) the "f-bomb". Also, by certain swear words I don't mean the racial, "c-word", (other) "p-word", etc. I'm talking about the usual swear words. I would like to also point out that a user can on the IRC can use the /ignore nick function and the /clear function. Xion4ever Who am I? — 04:35, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
