This server is far too strict. It's gone past "family-friendly" into a point of "don't have fun"
I understand the points that swearing shouldn't be used for cheap humor, but the words that are allowed can be far worse.
Example : (actual example)
Person A : 420 blaze
*3 hour ban*
Person B : Kys
*Don't say that again*
HOW IN THE NAME OF HELL IS SAYING 420 BLAZE WORSE THAN TELLING A PERSON TO KILL THEMSELVES? I play on servers where swearing is allowed (to an extent) but saying kys is a perm ban with no chance to appeal. Get your act together, because that is totally not correct.
You're strict to the point where if one person says something wrong it turns into :
"omg screenied"
"reporting"
"Banned"
"bye"
To be honest, isn't that more toxic than the original swear anyway? Ease up, though swearing profusely should not be allowed, can't we let mild sex references and drug references slip by? (use discretion) I remember in 2012 where that kind of humor was allowed and everyone was fine with it.
If we truly are family friendly, then why do we cater to the younger audience of said family? It is the older people that bring in donations, which is a necessity for the survival of the server. I don't understand why we don't cater to the audiences of 12-15 when they are the ones that benefit the server the most. I remember when I first joined minecraft, I didn't ever pay attention to chat or other players, and when I did, it was never someone as toxic as some of the people I see today who claim the alias of "supporter of the family friendly server"
I joined minecraft August 2012 (I was 11), and the 3rd server I joined was wear I saw the first swear. My dad warned me when I started minecraft that I would connect with other players who would use bad language, and he said that I could turn the chat off if it bothered me, and he showed me how. So for the majority of my time there I turned off the chat. Eventually I got a bit older and turned chat on again and I was responsible enough not to swear profusely as some of the people I saw.
I know this is pretty confusing because I keep making my argument unclear, but all I'm trying to say is loosen up. If swearing bothers people that much they should be responsible to know how to turn off chat. I understand words such as "F***" or "Sh*t" not being allowed, along with other sexual paraphernalia, but at ease up, and don't be so quick to the ban for mild sex references or drug references.
