story time from wixy! (this really has no bearing on the issue at hand, only morals and stuff.. so.. )
The swear filter is interesting, the more i play on gc, the more i'd like other places to enforce the same policy.. this isn't really because of swearing at all, but rather.. the quality and skill and professionalism of the players just .. goes up a notch - things get slightly more serious and the game becomes more important but at the same time more fun.
Its really wierd how a simple filter can do all this, but it does it wonderfully. and everytime i see someone get banned for it im thankful because i'd rather be playing with someone else, someone who takes the game a bit more seriously.
That being said, i've no idea why shadowbud would say something like that - he's been very cool headed everytime i've played with him. My guess was he let it slip, a mistake that everyone makes once in awhile. I'm glad the ban was only mild.. he seemed like a good guy. I think the admins made a good decision. I think they are lax enough to know when someone is playing around (when i rename myself to an e-thug in training) .. and serious enough to keep things going very smoothly.
Its not an easy thing to be an admin and anger people by banning them even if they associated with the person before, i wonder how an admin would feel after banning me? i bet fatty would shed a tear and wouldnt sleep that night.. right?
