DerekO Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I understand people cursing in private lobbies, but then having them publicly Visible for all ages isn't safe would reccomend a profanity filter for servers/games like there is in chats 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 This dude is 1404 now?! He joined the lobby about 1 month ago and played his first lobby game with me and Jofursloft. From cosmic noob to 1400+ in month is impressive. And, yes, the dude was rude. Anyways, game titles are a big loophole as there isn't much length control or content filter so they can come up with whacky names like this. It should be limited to a certain number of characters. For game titles, I think something in the form: 'TG >1200' (8 chars) '1v1 ~1600' (9 chars) '2v2 <1300' (10 chars) would be sufficient. It is difficult to fit squeeze a personal insult of any severity into merely 10 characters, so that should solve the problem. The longest English word I can think of is Buckminsterfullerene (20 characters) so there is no reason why a game title should be longer than that.

A new room come by default "nick_game", this would already take up much more than 10 characters, besides the fact that few characters make it difficult to customize matches, you would have many 1v1 1200/ 2v2 1600 etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a 0ad player Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 If I don't like something, I don't read it. Could make sense for certain situations to insert an option how many lines are displayed to me in the title and how many lines are displayed to me in the lobby chat. No idea if player mute works for lobby chat. At some point games were displayed in the title bar for days / weeks and the host was absent (playerlist). I did not like that so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I think there should be a three strike rule (warning - time ban - perma ban); doesn't require a real time response and might help a bit.

MirceaKitsune Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 This is a complicated one. I can see the issue from that screenshot and don't approve of such... at the same time I so don't want to see the endless fashion of a thought police trying to enforce "rainbows and sunshine" coming here next. A good way for now would seem an ability to block certain servers from appearing in the list. Same way we could have supports for favorites to bookmark them... we could then have an un-favorite category for people to hide such servers when they spot them.

Gurken Khan Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 'Thought police' & 'spoiling the children'... Gee. I'd consider it basic decency not to massively use foul language around minors. Granted, in some ways I'm old & conservative. How do 'servers' play into this?

They are cyclical times in history. in these times comes a moral and intellectual decline typical of abundant prosperity. It is when past times are annexed and then come conflicts, whether social or wars and the fall of empires. That is why China is in a cycle where it is very disciplined, even young people do not play more than 3 hours a day. Japan was the same but hey now it's in a demographic winter.

andy5995 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Even if the words by themselves, or the language could be considered completely inoffensive by some, the meaning is clear and clearly intended to be offensive, antagonistic, or troll-like. Even if you put those points aside on the basis of cultural differences, that server text is just completely off-topic for a server list, not at all descriptive of the game being hosted, and can be considered spam.

MirceaKitsune Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Went to play right now and I did see a server with the F word in it, nothing bad like that screenshot though. Honestly I found it funny and harmless... in a way it would seem boring if this stuff was completely outlawed like in the AAA games, kinda gives me a pleasant memory of that long lost vintage internet where people would say whatever but still had fun in it Of course doing this shouldn't become a purpose in and of itself, the list is meant for making servers and playing after all, it would raise questions if this ever became a phenomenon with ill intent which luckily doesn't seem to have happened yet.

MirceaKitsune Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Just now, Lion.Kanzen said: this is an important point. 2 opposing cultures tend to quarrel. This is a very true point. It's unfortunate how much division different cultures can have... by which I don't necessarily mean just national cultures, which make a little difference but people are divided everywhere. In my case I grew up with a strong "protect people from clear undeniable harms, have thick skin and don't care about anything else" mindset... not something I claim is perfect just my way of thinking, in part it's because I have a strong spite for authoritarianism based on how it affected and scared me in the past. While I can't personally transpose and envision it, I can imagine others being different for their own motives... while I hate everything being so strict and taken so seriously nowadays, I don't want to ignore how they feel either if a bad word can truly make someone feel considerably bad. For this suggestion, perhaps an option of sorts would be good, such as regex expressions to replace words. It would be nice if it was left up to individuals if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
