Foul Language — It is generally seen as bad and it may get you into trouble if you use it too often. GTM has members of all age groups and you shouldn't assume that they grew up under the same circumstances as you. Be polite and use words that won’t offend people. Search engines, like Google, also see it and it negatively impacts GTM’s SEO score (resulting in less visitors). For this reason, it is not sufficient to obscure foul language using asterisk or depend on the word filter. Warning will be issued with increasing severity if you can't control yourself.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
For once the mods did something right

Warning will be issued with increasing severity if you can't control yourself.Is this actually something that's enforced anymore? If you do a forumwide search for "sh**" or "****" (just two examples of foul language since this rule is really vague), you'll find multiple examples of people using foul language on the main forum and the mods not batting an eye to it. If this rule's isn't actually in effect then that's fine, it was stupid anyway tbh. The actual rules page itself should be updated to reflect that though.
The staff admittedly hasn't been that on point as far as the minor offenses go. In the past week or so we've been working on ironing out the kinks on revamping our warning system and the ruleset that goes with it in order to ensure that all staff members are on the same page and working at the same level across the board in preparation for the influx of new users and/or increased activity when RA3 drops. Most of the credit this time around goes to Naryar for taking the time to break everything down. We should hopefully be finished up ironing it out and have it rolled out soon.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

As for Jaydee, quit with the edge.
^^ lol and I call myself edgy
no, there is nothing to add to that, hence why i wonder you guys are posting offtopic.and TRB, we don't need backseat moderating. we take care of stuff, if you have something to report use the report post function.

Cuz the way I see it, Kill and Craaig don't do diddly squat anymore, and all you do is bash newbies and mute people you don't like.

Just so you know, Meister2's IP corresponds to Jaydee's main IP... There seems to be something there.Quote from: Meganerdbomb on April 26, 2016, 06:25:47 AMQuote from: Naryar on April 26, 2016, 06:12:48 AMno, there is nothing to add to that, hence why i wonder you guys are posting offtopic.and TRB, we don't need backseat moderating. we take care of stuff, if you have something to report use the report post function.Who's "we" exactly?
