I don’t like the idea of a new player server, I’d much rather see them directly integrate onto our core ones.

A new player server seems ludicrous. How do you expect new players to integrate into server culture when you're segregating them from the regular server population?

On top of that, I can say, with complete certainty, that I would not have stuck around if it weren't for the help I received from experienced players in-game. New players should be playing with experienced players as much as possible.

Against the separated new player server too. Sharing the same opinion of posts above: segregation of the playerbase is ridiculous, learn on the move. The hard way is the only way in ss13, embrace it from the beginning.

Imagine a server with zero new players, any problem with a new player server isn't what you're doing to the new server but rather what you're taking from the old ones

which would be nigh unplayable with all the burnout shittery

I’ve honestly come around to rule 11. It’s a flexible rule which can adjust alongside the community. Bigotry is a sensitive subject and people’s views on it are always changing. You can’t really define what constitutes bigotry at any one time, it’s more of a “feel” type deal; just like rule 8, which also is loosely defined. Even if we could nail down a good definition, it would be static and would either eventually require revision, or keep our community frozen with a particular viewpoint for these things, which I don’t think is healthy.

The caveat to this is that it requires deliberate guidance from the headmins/host, which while hasn’t been nonexistent, I do feel has been lacking. Timber mentioned this somewhere, so that was actually another major + for him, at least for me.

As for slurs: I personally wouldn’t be bothered if we banned them. I think theres an argument that a culture of toxicity and bigotry can exist without blatant examples of any of those these on any one persons part, which is really sort of the only thing we don’t allow ATM. I’m not sure I was of this mindset when rule 11 was created though, so really I think it’s just another example of how a community changes (thus reinforcing why rule 11 being flexible is good). Because of this I can’t help but feel that it’s a little short-minded to just smugly say “we knew slurs would get banned” or whatever because it doesn’t acknowledge the growth along the way which led people to seriously consider the idea. If something is a good change, but you fear that by doing it you may be enabling bad changes down the line, you need to consider that your entire definition of “good and bad” may change along the way.

It is interesting to think about how /tg/ went from being proudly pushed forward as the "bastion of free speech" when i started playing to where it is now where many people say your exact quote: “we knew slurs would get banned”

What are you referring to? Did they actually ban slurs for real?
Yesterday on terry I got bwoinked by Iain for saying n-word in OOC but then he left to get the “””admin team opinions””” on the matter. I couldn’t wait 2-7 hours, so I went to sleep. As I’m banned from discord, im unaware of any events that transpire there. Why are you all discussing that slurs have been banned? Wtf just happened?

They're doing the slippery slope thing where they pretend they were right about everything by pretending everything they predicted is already happening

Except it's all in their delusional bubble world as they rock back and forth in the padded cell

The "SLUR BAN FREEDOM OF SPEECH AMERICA DESTROYER BAN" practical reality amounts to an admin occasionally bwoinking you and saying "hey can you stop calling people the n-word/writing "I hate n-words" on everything thanks"

And then the player says "Oh but I saw everyone else doing it so I thought it was ok"

And then the admin says "I know but we're trying to dial it back a bit"

And then the ahelp ends

I mean did you use a slur as an insult? The clear implication of doing that is pretty obviously bigotry.

If I said "You fucking n-word" or whatever, the implication is inferiority of the class of person you're calling them. Otherwise it wouldn't be an insult. This is the difference between using it casually amongst other members of that class as a term of endearment, and screaming it at people when they make you mad

Comes to think about it, there's something crazily interesting about that whole deal. It is possible to step in here after year of abscence and still see same people having umptienth go at this whole ordeal despite being repeatedly told by players that they absolutely don't want them to govern over them to any more extent than they already might. And that's despite the fact that, from where I am sitting playerbase has been nearly completely replaced since last time I logged on. Not to mention since last time I had fun here, since that's way back. So time should, at least in theory, work in their favour.
At least Risky "You gonna suck this cock CLEAN" Sikh and goof do it for lulz.
It'd make for interesting subject of psychological study, wasn't psychology as a field somewhere between astrology and tarot reading in terms of seriousness.
Anyways good luck fellas, and if not this time, then next time.

And that's despite the fact that, from where I am sitting playerbase has been nearly completely replaced since last time I logged on. Not to mention since last time I had fun here, since that's way back. So time should, at least in theory, work in their favour.

It'd make for interesting subject of psychological study, wasn't psychology as a field somewhere between astrology and tarot reading in terms of seriousness.

If I said "You fucking n-word" or whatever, the implication is inferiority of the class of person you're calling them. Otherwise it wouldn't be an insult. This is the difference between using it casually amongst other members of that class as a term of endearment, and screaming it at people when they make you mad
stop implying shit sticky, we are from extremely different cultural backgrounds

Yeah, goes without saying that anyone willingly applying for position of moderator anywhere on the internet is, at the very elast, power hungry unless proven otherwise (and in whooping 99%+ of time this does not end up being the case), and anyone that spent more than month on the internet should outright assume that. But persistency factor of it and, against all better judgement, is the weird thing.

Psychology is pretty serious, but probably not in the way a layman thinks. For some reason a lot of people think it's all about personalities, feelings and reading minds, when a lot of the gains are in things like neuro, observation and cognition, things which are much more measurable than a questionnaire - but it is not a hard science in the sense that you can find immutable truths about the reality we live in. It is still very practical knowledge to know about the limits and averages of humans.

And now that I am done defending my choice of studying psychology, I admire the repeated runners' commitment to the game but at the same time they remind me of a politician here who thought he was going to be the next president some 40 years ago, still hasn't given up on the idea and has only fallen lower and lower in status as time has passed. Used to hold pretty high positions though, and he has some extremely inspirational quotes such as "everyone has their unique strengths - it just happens to me that they all are combined in me" and "I don't remember the last time I was wrong".

What are you referring to? Did they actually ban slurs for real?
Yesterday on terry I got bwoinked by Iain for saying n-word in OOC but then he left to get the “””admin team opinions””” on the matter. I couldn’t wait 2-7 hours, so I went to sleep. As I’m banned from discord, im unaware of any events that transpire there. Why are you all discussing that slurs have been banned? Wtf just happened?
So the confusion here is understandable, but also stupid and retarded. (Otherwise known as fake and gay or fraudulent and asexual)

I don't want to ban all uses of a word that happens to be a slur. Thats what I mean when I say I want to ban bigotry, not slurs.

The context it is used in determines rather an instance of uttering a word that happens to be a slur is bigoted.

At a place that "bans slurs", saying "x just got banned for calling somebody a faggot" would also get you banned. This is retarded. There is no need to censor "faggot" in this context.

At a place that bans slurs, saying "what are you faggots playing" gets you in trouble, understandable to a degree, but also retarded. This usecase is not bigoted and its a term of endearment in this context.

At somewhere like goon, responding to a ridiculous request with "nigga please" would get you banned, by some white know it alls from the most privileged forum on the internet, despite being how a historically unprivileged social economical class actually speaks (to be clear, this is a culture argument, not a race one. If you grew up in the hood or adjacent communities, it didn't matter if you were white, black, mexican, or asian, soft-as were in your instinctive vocabulary, if not flat out hard-rs.).

Nobody said you want to ban the words MSO, I think YOUR intention for Rule 11 is good. But I also think very few who apply it actually do so in line within the framework you've presented and there's a handful who have actively made it known they want to push it further (as they have and will.)

So much misinformation here.
First, it wasn’t a permaban. It was a note for saying the N-word. Not “to” a black person, but in reference to someone who was black. It was vague whether that was meant specifically as a bigoted slur or just as a generic bad word like “retard” but that’s why it was a note. The user was pretty upset about the note so they decided to just self-perma or quit. It wasn’t a permaban.

For the forum peoples: there was a headmin debate about rule 11 and a new player server came up so that’s why this topic is here out of the blue.

As far as the new player server, you need to understand the sentiment behind it. The issue is that new players are treated horribly by the SS13 community at large. If you are new and come into a server where most people have 200+ or even 1000+ hours, instead of being kind and welcoming many users will be toxic to these new players. They’ll make fun of them for wearing duffel bags, call them retards or just outright robust them and steal their things, “cope seethe skill issue” etc. and the new player is gone. That’s to the detriment of the community at large.

The game is difficult to learn with a high skill ceiling and once people finally reach that skill ceiling they feel they’ve earned the right to be just as mean to those below them as the people above them were to them. It’s like a high school where you’re shit on as a freshman, then once you become a senior you shit on the freshmen because you feel like you’ve taken your beatings and now it’s your turn to dole them out.

It’s a bad mentality and that’s why some headmins suggest a new player server. Unfortunately such a proposal only serves to divide our community in the end. What we need is an attitude change. It’s worst on Terry, Sybil could use better vibes too, Manuel doesn’t have this problem but instead it’s become a bit too insular and runs the risk of alienating new players.

But how do you mandate love and kindness? You don’t... but maybe you can start with rule 11 to shift the culture in a more positive direction. That’s what the debate sort of centered around.

We just recently banned a guy for saying "Nigga?" and "some nigga killed the HoP". A headmin deemed it "not worth overturning." Did you just miss that appeal?

They said it to a black person you fucking cheese-head.

So much misinformation here.
First, it wasn’t a permaban. It was a note for saying the N-word. Not “to” a black person, but in reference to someone who was black.
“””

SINFUL WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NO ONE SAID SHIT ABOUT A PERMA BAN AND YOUR DISTINCTION DOESNT MATTER. NO ONES GONNA READ YOUR ESSAY IF YOUR THESIS IS SHIT. AND WHILE WE’RE AT IT WTF WAS THIS SHIT ABOUT SAYING “pretending to rape a corpse actually is pretty tame” I MEAN WHAT FUCKING PLANET DO YOU BUY YOUR TAKES FROM FFS
