Adult/Sexual Language in Guild Chat

by The Beau Brothers Thu Mar 21, 2013 4:29 pm

Last night the conversation in guild chat became quite graphic. Personally, this does not bother me. However, we probably have members under the age of 17. I am pretty sure Finn can handle that type of conversation, but I'm not so sure about others. (or more precisely their parents... I know most kids could peel paint with their language.)

I want to throw this out to the guild to get a feel for what we want. If we, as a guild, do not mind that type of language, I think we should restrict membership to 17+. If we want to keep the guild open to all ages, we need to put a stop to that kind of language any time we see it.

Personally it doesn't bother me, but The way we used to do it worked before. If someone asks you to stop, you stop. simple as that.

I'm petty much there with Ratch. It does not bother me personally but I can not say that the same way with all the members, some could be offended by that. I don't know. But any conversation gets too graphical or passes that "line" and your asked to stop, you stop it. We could implement some sort of filter-rule that doesn't let guild chat pass the "line" but stay on the line? I was AFK when that happened last night so I don't know what happened. Neutral

I should add like zero said, that there are adults that are offended by conversations like that too. Until I hear complaints, I guess I will just ignore it. I just don't want to scare people off.

Was not there either so I can't really tell... In my personal opinion, I'd tolerate some level of "teasing" but if it becomes cybersex I'd probably step in and ask them politely to /whisper each other...

I think if we do it the way we did it in the past works. I don't think the guild is raunchy, so the 17+ thing isn't necessary IMO. But the thing is, a lot of the time it's harmless joking. But sometimes even joking goes to far for some people. So I think we should go by the policy that if someone says stop, then it stops. People can get on mumble, party chat, or pm if they want to continue.

Well, from what I remembered of the other night, was we were pretty much "beating around the bush" until someone who was rather intoxicated didn't notice said bush and crashed into it. xD

But hey, that happens, and I will admit that I sometimes forget that the guild chat is a very public thing. I try my best to not say anything too graphic, but my sense of humor tends to stray to the inappropriate side.

I agree with we should just try to stay away from being too blunt and using words that can't be filtered out of the censor, and if anyone at all shows even the slightest hint of being uncomfortable, we should honor that person and stop completely.

I apologize if anything I have ever said has been a little too over the line!

Hey, I wasn't that drunk.

Lol I couldn't help it, sorry

You were that drunk

I'm not blaming anyone! I'm just asking the question. If nobody is offended, then no harm is done. Like I said, I don't mind. I just wanted to get a feel from others. Like the others said, if someone says something about it in chat, we should nip it in the bud. Otherwise, it's all good Very Happy
