Look, I know that there's not a "TG server" right now, but when you're wearing TG tags and playing with other TG players, could you at least try to not violate TG rules?
I joined a versus game today and 90% of the comms from a certain player had the F-bomb in it.
I don't mind a few slips here and there when the action gets going, but if you are unable to communicate without using four letter words, you have a problem.
I like to spice up my language just as much as the next guy, but there's a time and a place for everything. TacticalGamer has higher standards than other places. We cater to mature gamers, but we're also family friendly. Let's try to keep it so that people do not have to be ashamed of TG voicecomms, please.Become a supporting member!

Remember you're representing TG whenever you play on a pubbie server with the tag on. We want to continue being held in high regard within the gaming community at large.

Re: Language
Did you politely ask the player to stop? Did you make the player aware that you were offended by his language?

Re: Language
Wow. Maybe you should re-read what TG is about. I dont think cing is off at all on this topic. Does swearing help you game better? Sure i swear as much as the next guy but it takes 2 seconds to release the Voip key and say the words then go back to your ocnverstaion. Originally Posted by Guardianx11x

If your going to play and know you Have to wear ....remove your tag.that sounds like a good idea trooper.

Re: Language
Last I checked, TG was a mature community...not a daycare or sunday school. I'm saying if you have a problem with someones language, tell them. Don't start silly posts like this, they are ineffective. Originally Posted by Trooper

Re: Language
I don't think a thread like this hurts anything. A general reminder to the community (which apparently is still warranted) can do no harm, only good. Originally Posted by Guardianx11x

Re: Language
how about this lets see if someone can actually produce a rule that says a TG tagged member can not curse.
I'll would be perfectly fine with not cursing in game if asked, but unless you give me fair warning as a mature person to a mature person then I say its fair game. I will not do anything that I think is disrespectful but words are words, if you have a problem speak up and we can deal with it, but with the nature of the game (very personal) its hard to make broad statements.
as for Mr. Minority I have a few words for you but am choosing to to hold back because I feel they could offend more people than just minorty.Reapator, overlord of ponies

Re: Language
Im sure of all people cing did say something. But a member shouldnt have to remind TG wearing members how to represent this community. I dont think its silly at all. Just a friendly reminder of what wearing the TG tag represents. Does swearing help your team at all?
And i wouldn't want my child playing on a server where members are supposed to act mature but swear like sailorsthat sounds like a good idea trooper.

Re: Language
I have no F'ing problem with curses used as excla-F'ing-mations...
"OH F!" or "HOLY SHIZZLE!" a few times an hour doesn't F'ing bug me....
However, it gets really F'ing old when every F'ing thing from someones F'ing mouth is preceded by an F'ing F-bomb adjective.... It's totally un-F'ing-neccessary.

Re: Language
I said it was ineffective. This is the rough equivalent of me saying, "TG community, please act like someone I like." This sentiment is in practice, worthless. Originally Posted by Chewy

Re: Language
I'm going to assume that this was simply meant to be sarcastic or in jest. Because certainly you couldn't be serious. If you check the "Where did you come from?" thread 43 of the 82 people who have checked in came from one of the Battlefield games. That is slightly over half... so keep in mind who you are insulting before you speak so harshly. Originally Posted by TheMinority
