Add zamn to the hard filter
Pretty self explanatory. Zamn has been in this community for some time now, and it's (in my humble opinion) an OOC in IC term, just like amogus. The word adds no flavour to the game whatsoever, and I don't think it should have a place in IC chat. It's comparable to amogus, which is already hard filtered.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
Zamn, aren't you a salty catmin. Honestly, the idea of filtering stuff like that is imperfect in itself, since if someone is really trying to meme in character he will get past the filter, so admin action will be needed anyway. How easy is editing filter on the fly during the round? If something gets abused during one round just filter it for that round, and people will forget about it after an hour.

please for the love of god ban people who ooc in IC instead of relying on the filter, which should only be used for the most pernicious cases.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
It's so easy that Riggle has been doing it every round I see him on. This is not an acceptable solution as we should strive towards consistent administration where possible.How easy is editing filter on the fly during the round?
I agree with this on the basis of shooting down flavor of the month memes, adding things to the filter is extremely cheap.

Although I do not like hearing zoomerspeak in my /tg/ and the tides of children from YouTube were a mistake, banning people for saying memes IC is for hall monitors and you should work on whatever personal issues cause you to take offense at hearing them instead.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
Filtering is the easy way out and serial IC/OOC and / or flavour of the month memes should be met with bans.

This is always such a disingenuous take.

The idea behind filtering OOC in IC/memes of the month/etc is simple. If a word or phrase is guaranteed 100% always to be OOC in IC with no valid IC uses, adding it to the hard filter means people cannot say it (accidentally or otherwise) and will thus never be bwoinked for saying it.
However, the playerbase can find new words and phrases faster than they can be hard filtered. Perhaps there is some merit in bwoinking people who drag the quality of shifts down with their OOC references rather than just reactively banning said references.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
Why in the hell would zamn be added to a filter? People say zamn in discord text, I'm sure they'd even say it in a call, what exactly is OOC about it? It's just a little harmless expression a server created.

Why are you banning people for using memes in the first place? /tg/station never used to have a bunch of anti-fun librarians trying to punish players for using memes they don't like under the guise of muh immersions. It was the autist Saegrimr iirc who started obsessively banning people for netspeak IC (a rule that was never usually enforced up until that point) and it's only gotten more excessive and needless since. But adminPMing and especially banning people over things like this only appeals to Randall Weems to begin with.

No need to be offended.
I do believe that OOC in IC rule enforcement threatens a certain type of NRP shitter because they're either burned out or incredibly stupid. And I do feel that's where some of this animus is coming from.
Why do you want to use memes IC in the first place? /tg/station never used to have a bunch of anti-RP shitters trying to punish players for wanting decent roleplay they're too burned out to enjoy under the guise of the servers devolving away from mechanical mastery. There have been a long line of shitters obsessively repeating the same tired memes IC (memes that never really caught on up until people started spamming them) and it's only gotten more excessive and needless since. But complaining in policy discussions and especially crying over things like this only appeals to Erwin Lawson types.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
Adding to the filter is effectively free and if everyone here is arguing that this is an OOC-IC word that has no real IC usage, then it makes no sense not to just put it on the filter rather than let people walk themselves into 15 minute bans, only depending on whether the admin online cares or not

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
Roleplay is pretty gay, to tell you the truth. It's only set apart from self-important and tyrannical drama nerds (see: any HRP server) acting poorly when it amounts to people trying to play their roles well. That in itself is immersive. If somebody saying zamn threatens your immersions then you probably weren't that engaged with the round to begin with. I feel immersed fixing air alarms. I think jerking off your furry static with your metafriends in medbay while waiting for a body to come through is a lot of MRP folx' idea of roleplay but when you reduce the game to a virtual chatroom like Furcadia or Second Life then of course you're going to be upset when somebody uses a flavour of the month meme in it. 'My furry roleplay simulator should not have such things!' But of course, it's not a furry roleplay simulator. It's about people trying to survive on a space station. And some of those people like saying zamn.Timberpoes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 2:38 am /tg/station never used to have a bunch of anti-RP shitters

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
Is anyone here capable of providing a single argument for how the word "zamn" is an OOC-IC term? Stating blankly "it's an OOC term" isn't an argument, by the way. Here's an argument for why amogus is an OOC-IC term: amogus references a videogame where certain players are traitors; saying "amogus" on TG makes light of the fact you are playing a videogame, similarly, with traitors among you.
"Zamn," is literally just "damn" with a Z. It doesn't break immersion, "amongus" does.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
The argument isn't that it's ick ock, so much as it's a flavour of the month term that becomes so overused that while it isn't inherently ick ock, the fact that everyone IRL is saying it and everyone in SS13 is saying even though they're separated by hundreds of years, it makes it feel like it's basically a discord chat with Atmos rather than a roleplaying game. Sus and amogus weren't filtered for being ick ock, it's a shitty justification to cover for it's overused and not funny anymore please stop because we don't really have the spine to just say rule 1 knock it off in cases like this. In the end whether or not it's ick ock isn't the point of this thread, it's whether or not we're collectively sick of this shit enough to start taking action against people who say it.
tl;dr it isn't but it's annoying and stop it

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
It is a bit of a strange argument to say that, because a word is trendy OOCly, it therefore becomes an OOC term if overused ICly. I don’t think the fact we roleplay as spacemen needs to mean we limit our vocabulary to only what spacemen set hundreds of years from now would say. You’d also need to bend over backwards to justify its censoring via rule 1. I suppose the best argument is “it’s annoying and we don’t like it,” but that’s still not a great argument IMO. Banning words simply because they’re annoying is a slippery slope. "Amogus," though, carried with it a legitimate OOC reference which I mentioned.

Zamn, as far as I know, isn't a word, though. It derives directly from the meme. While, yes, this is how language evolves naturally over time, if there's a period where it's very flavour of the month, then it warrants discussion, at least.sinfulbliss wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 5:11 pmIt is a bit of a strange argument to say that, because a word is trendy OOCly, it therefore becomes an OOC term if overused ICly.

Banning words simply because they’re annoying is a slippery slope. "Amogus," though, carried with it a legitimate OOC reference which I mentioned.
Also 'sus' was a real word but still got the "If you don't use it properly, you're in trouble" treatment.
An overused flavour of the month is just irritating and gets tiring/boring, very very quickly.
what would you guys do if one of your coworkers kept spouting old memes without context? if someone does it in game just call them a fucking nerd and push them into a locker, its not that hard

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
just subscribe to r/shitposting and you'll get all the zoomer hits and feel like you're back in middle school and with the casual implicit bigotry getting upvoted there wonder if these people have souls when all they seemed to be concerned about is appearing normalAdam Klein wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 8:46 pm It’s a stupid meme, and I’m too dumb to know where it’s from.
This is particularly egregious and orange should've stepped in and said the game is not a template for your favourite memes. But I think I only believe that because it's that Bogdanoff /biz/ shit and the whole 'Rothschilds bow to the Bogdanoffs' pasta that originally brought them onto people's radars began on /pol/ as a shitpost/ironic conspiracy theory some people there bought into. Other memes in the code do not foster such contempt, like those brain damage lines you referenced that were stupid things people said on Goon and have been in the game since /tg/station forked. This is why I think policing memes is bad, because inevitably there are some you like and others you can't stand and those are the ones you react to. The other choice is to simply ban all memes, which is the equivalent of a high school librarian going over to a table full of kids having fun and telling them they need to stop or get kicked out. You shouldn't allow yourself to become that person.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
To add on to what was said earlier in this thread, banning memes and making the admins into the fun police because of “Muh immersion” in a silly space game is again, rather silly. Before the not so controversial “AMOGUS” ban, you could just laugh at the brainlet screaming the words of power. Arrest them for insanity. Handle it IC.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
idk man. "zamn" has a meaning outside of the meme (you can pretty obviously tell that it's just a different way to say "daaaaamn"), and I personally use it unironically occasionally (I'm not a zoomer I swear).
and why *shouldn't* the game have a relaxing discord chat vibe? you can still rp without awkwardly rephrasing everything you say to make it sound like you're from the 2010s instead of the 2020s.
okay but we're also saying words like "dollar" and "private jet" that will inevitably look like ye olde english 400 years from now. I don't really see why "zamn" should be any different.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
IF your immersion is so fragile where if someone says something that can be considered to somewhat of a meme within a 6 mile radius causes you to lose your shit and think banning this person is ok then I think you have lost the plot. Meme culture has always been apart of society ever since the days of cable tv and am sure people have made references to those memes from (insert media here) in public before and still do so. I do not think someone making a reference to (insert media here) or making their own joke should be bannable and is not aganist roleplaying seeing people do this irl and is only natural humans want to fit in with other humans by making jokes and having a good time with others, I only take issue with this is if its if all the person says or does this for 1 hour in till its home time and the magical space bus takes you back to CC. I think banning this regardless of its on a filter or an admin banning you for is just that person enforcing their sense of humour onto the player base.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
This is not OOC in IC, nor is it a problem. Speaking in our modern internet colloquialisms and shit is not IC in OOC. It's just 'damn' with a 'z'. While it may have came from a meme, using fake swear words is also part and parcel for scifi settings sometimes (frack is the easiest to recall).
How big was the stick up whoever's ass who felt the need to do this lol. petty dislike for a word isn't a good reason to censor it. it's not even fucking netspeak lol. imagine the kind of delusional and huge ego you need to police language to this degree. netspeak and smileys are one thing but lol.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
Trying to keep any modern culture and vernacular out of SS13 is a losing battle by definition. "Zamn" is a thing outside of just the meme + it doesn't really have the level of specificity of temporality that Amogus has.
Amogus is a flavor of the month non sequitur that gets dropped either out of nowhere, because meme poisoning means it's funny to just say things that are references to something funny without any actual context for doing so... or because of the genre similarities, but it's still alluding to the meme because otherwise we'd be seeing references, at minimum, to The Thing around changelings.
The coming and going of slang - dab, lit, fam, bussy, chelp, shit, hella, damn/zamn, yeet/yeeted/yote, whatever - just kind of happens. Maybe it'll stick, maybe it won't. Rapidity of onset doesn't really define whether something has staying power or is flavor of the month.
Just ban people who do a non sequitur meme recitation. I believe in you. You can do it.

Re: Add zamn to the hard filter
We have no interest in adding Zamn to the word filter, if its usage becomes excessively OOC then admins are free to intervene.
