I never really understood the whole ban for cursing thing...
The game is supposed to be played by people of 17+ years of age, the concept is to kill things, and the average gamer age is 29 years old. Yet the admins don't think that cursing can be handled. Their server, and to each his own I suppose...
Its their server they pay for it yadda yadda. What the most important thing is they keep it a friendly place to be. For me to play there it is a treat. No "WTH" no "BS" No "OMG HAX". its great. Everyone works as a team. They can't be all that strict if they consider giving second chanced. Master ban list? We are beyond witch trials. Again just an opinion. Keep the server going. I love it. (When its not full)

Those guys are an organiztion that bring facts to congress when bills are tried to be passed that would hurt gaming, or anything that would hurt gaming I suppose. Great organization and I'm glad someone is standing up for us, check out the site got some cool facts on there.

I dont know about you guys but I see and insane amount of 12 year olds playing that you cant tell if they are male or female half the time. But honestly they are just as likely to come in spouting obscenities as the 17 year old.

I doubt that the average age of online computer gamers is that high, even though I have friends in the 60's who are playing.
If you take dms out of the statistics, the average player age drops down to 22.

I don't think it's a big deal to refrain from swearing - some of us 'older people' have kids, and we practice very hard not to swear around them.
