lpinkus Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 "ballslap" u gotta admit its quite funny Funny to someone old enough to understand it. And if you're under 15 and understand it, well, you shouldn't. lpinkus this might come as a surprise to you but children know what their genitals are called Well that just shows that YOU don't actually understand what ballslap means. And there is no way I'm explaining it here. Hint: you're wrong, it's not about how you call a body part. Jagex is just inconistent. They don't tolerate these names yet they have no way of checking them and ban when people report others. That causes a problem for long-time players. Anyone saw the petition by xwifebeaterx in General on this forum ? Plus in his case, there was the second meaning of wifebeater, which is the name of a type of shirt. They didn't stop the players when they were a small company and now they expect to ban anybody as they see fit. Not quite that easy, Jagex. I also like how they keep saying that they'll introduce name-change one day. They've said that for years and they've never done it. Doubt they care. Doesn't inspire confidence though. You might be right that JAGeX is inconsistent on this sort of thing, and I assume it's due to the sheer number of players, which increases daily. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed. And, just for the record, calling a certain T-shirt a "wife beater" is not giving it a second meaning. The term is still offensive! It just implies that the style of shirt is often worn by mean who abuse their wives. So, no, the phrase "wife beater" does not become approriate just because there's a T-Shirt named after it. lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that meaning and you know it. I don't know how old that particular player is. If I recall from his post here, he was a young teen when he created his char. Not sure they all understand the implications of the name. That's another reason why Jagex should act ASAP and not months or years after chars have been created. Because by then all they end up doing is making people angry, particularly when the player doesn't see what was offensive about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magekillr Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 like i said...i found my name quite funny...and if Jagex wants me to change it...fine but they shouldnt ban over names....they should give you the option of changing your name b4 just randomly banning people... and like Eric said...they are very very inconsistant about it...

If they're not able review all new names daily, then I agree, you should not be banned. If there is inconsistency, then that has to be fixed. I saw a few more nasty names last night, so this thing ain't fixed yet. lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeekyhbomb Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 "ballslap" u gotta admit its quite funny Not as good as teabagger or tea bagging :lol: ha thats what thee quarters of the people on x box live call something when you crouch and stand up repeatedly on a dead body, i bet a bunch of them are 10 year olds that dont even know what it is :lol: well on topic i agree that most of them should be fixed, but if you have been playing for years then i just find it completely unfair, why not sort it out a week after you started playing, why wait 2 or 3 years? it would be hard to reiew every name coming in but they really should increase the censor on creating names a bit, and a renaming feature would be nice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magekillr Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 yeah i mean...i guess i got carried away naming my char but either not let me do it in the 1st place with a decent name filter, catch in the beginning, or let me change it when u do catch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahdrav Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Umm Ipinkus I don't know if you know this but most kids in general do know what ballslap and balls mean hell by the time I was 11 i knew practically every swear word there was in english.It's people like you who try and censer every dam thing and try to overprotect children the ones who really annoy me the most.If Jagex keeps on doing this* then the entire game will be full of little 6 year olds. *cecsoring(sp) everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crim_nimora Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I really really really dont like children, especially those who attempt to justify immature, arrogant, rude, and intolarable garbage. And to say that you knew every profane word by the time you were 11 isn't an accomplishment, its not something to be proud of either way. In one way it can be called innapropriate, in another it can be called a shame that you didn't learn them when you were 5. If you want to pretend your big and bad by using profanity without knowing what the majority of it means, then by all means go right ahead. But I'll be laughing at you when you become a freshman. I remeber it all so well... I ducktaped 4 freshmen to toilets, with their faces in the bowl, 2 to urinals chained one to the backseat of a bus, traped one in the girls bathroom, and put one on top of a statue tied to a chair. senior year was fun, and I got it all on tape :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean everyone should? Of course not! Just because you don't think that's a big deal doesn't mean everyone does. The word is spelled CENSOR. Maybe if people spent less time trying to spell offensive words, they would be better at spelling the non-offensive words. Now that's a cheap shot, maybe, but I've argued this point for a long time and I'm getting tired of people that insist they should be allowed to use whatever language whenever they want. Runescape is not your high school hallways or wherever else you hang out with your friends. It's a PUBLIC game. JAGeX has to keep the interests of ALL players in mind. That means that profane language will be filtered for the sake of those who are offended. The alternative, no filter, means that people who do not wish to be exposed to profanity (even if they know those words already!), have to suffer just so people can type nasty things. The filter is necessary. Live with it. lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crim_nimora Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 All true, just because it doens't offend you doesn't mean that its not offensive. Stop being a spoiled little brat and thinking that the world revolves around you. Amazingly some 11 year old kid doesn't decide what appropriate for everyone else on the earth. SHOOKING ISNT IT!!!

Ryanie Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 i think that everyone that is agreeing with this stupid topic is being immature if u were being mature u would just ignore the names the names aren't directed at you personally because they don't even no u SO GET OVER IT AND JUST IGNORE THEM! also because jagex does ban people for offensive names yeh not straight away but they eventually ban people so live with it be mature and don't b**** about it and ignore the immature names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crim_nimora Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I'm not offended by it, that again doesn't make it acceptable. I can be considered a quite offensive person myself.

arockrules Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I agree, there are young people playing the game out there. Also, some people find some profain words offensive. I think one good way to solve the problem is not to ban, but like what some have said. To give you the chance to change your name and if you refuse, you get banned.

Spose it's all to do with ur "state of mind" lol :| I'm not sure what you're getting at. My "state of mind" is fine, as far as I'm concerned. I use swear words in my real life, sure, but not at work, when talking to strangers, etc. Profanity simply doesn't belong in Runescape, guys, the same way it doesn't belong on standard TV. It doesn't matter that there are older players or younger players who use profanity in real life. In Runescape, they shouldn't. And, since you know that many will insist on being rude anyway...Lo, there is a chat filter. And yes, it helps stop scamming and site advertising, too, so there you go. It stays. lpinkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crim_nimora Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 People, lets acknowledge a few things, shall we? 1. Using Fyuck or whatever to get around a filter, does not make you smarter than a company that created a very large and expanding game. and if they are smarter than jagex, by all means, let them have their immature sns Sorry to break the news on that one 2. JAGeX has a filter for a reason, so people shouldn't feel accomplished for ignoring it. 3. Again its not really us inparticular who are offended, its like saying "theres nothing to steal, but dont be a jerk and take anything", understand? And again the world does not revolve around you, neither does RS, stop thinking that you all get to choose what ever person would find appropriate. And I'm not doing that by the way, RS has already chosen to have filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
