Bottom post of the previous page:

This is related to Paprika's ban for saying the infamous phrase.

As a quick point of clarification, the current rules for IC in OOC say:

The Rules wrote: IC in OOC can be a no warning ban of 15 minutes, it can be longer if the IC in OOC is severe. To clarify, this is revealing anything about the current round that others can use in the OOC channel. If you are unsure do not say it.

This didn't happen here. (the whole ayy lmao thing is OOC in IC, if anything)

The closest rule actually broken was rule 7:

The Rules wrote: 7. Speak like a normal person while in character. Don’t spam, either IC or OOC. Don’t use smileys, netspeak, etc. in IC speech.

And even there, it's a bit questionable. As a real live human, I can say "Ayyy lamayo" out loud. And references to stupid memes aren't just allowed, they're built right into the game(renault, for example).

So why are people getting IC in OOC bans for saying this once? I don't particularly like Paprika, but he/she/it still deserves fair treatment. It just seems kinda heavy handed. I could see bans getting applied for people spamming it, but just for saying it once?

Time to start lynching more mimes.

Also, anyone who knows anything about word filters knows that you can never make one robust enough not to be exploited be somebody intent on being an idiot. Here's an idea. Wordfilter yourself so you stop typing like a high school girl on a cell phone.

Centcom announcements check for deafness, so it's definitely done with sound.

This is terrible. I never once got any sort of ban for saying ANYTHING. I could spit out as twisted a sentence as I liked for funny amusement and not have to worry about it. Grammatical and spelling incorrectness can translate to the way something is said. saegrimr got me for saying "i wanna be wit u bby"

What the fuck guys who thought this was an ok idea?

Looks like you're not lmaoing any more

ayy lmao

If I'm totally honest I'm not really sure why its such a big deal. If its because it can spoil immersion then you can always play along with it, i.e:

Random Ass says: Ayy Lmao!
Me says: I-is there something wrong with you? I can't understand what your trying to say.

Or just Scott Pilgrim it:

actually yeah whats the point of banning people for saying memes and shit when you can word filter it if you care so much

Probably wouldn't take that long to put a word filter in too, honestly.

A word filter that can be turned on/off for each player individually, let's you customise your game play experience.

Everyone wins.

I want to bleep swear words

Starting with your sig?

If you've ever posted on 4chan for longer than a week, you'll know exactly why wordfilters are stupid.

ASSFAGGOTS

Works better than admins having to ban players every other round for spouting memes, however.

I got banned for an hour for ironically saying ROFLMAO IC without thinking. I see people all the time OOC IC and I'm partly bitter when they don't get banned for it and partly pleased that they get away with it.

Probably because you've done it three times now, and if you want something to be done about anybody, ahelp it.

Keep necroing this thread

Is it so hard to contain your epic playground and digg memes for one spessman round?

what the fuck is a playground meme
and ayy lmao isnt even from digg
