One of them, _Katie_, said I am not allowed to buy then sell then buy properties because it jacks the price up. I type in /rules and I dont see a word about it. Another one, I used a ramp to jump over the boat and i get jailed by _Katie_ (again). Also, does it say that swearing is NOT allowed in the rules? I didnt see it. Please make what you want in the rules 100% clear. Im tired of admins making it up as they go, tbh.
Haze... The first issue has already been addressed, so I won't comment further on that.
Second, I'm not the one who jailed you for jumping the ship. I'm not the only one that gets tired of your rule bending.
Third, the swearing. I think in the old rules (before they were recently simplified), there was a line about not using "bad words". The reason I come down so hard on swearing, the "f" word in particular, is because whenever I go to the other servers, especially the popular ones, the language on there is unbelievable. What worries me is that many of those players are very young. We have several here around 12 years old. I cringe when I hear language like that, and I cringe even more when I realize it's being read by a 12 year old. And yes, I know half the time it's actually being said by a 12 year old, and that's the worst part. Don't give me any of that garbage about it being rated "mature" either. We all know that means that people under 18 shouldn't be playing it. They are. The other option would be to require age verification and ban anyone under 18. Do you want this? I didn't think so.
I just don't want to see LVP chat getting like I see on the other big servers. I personally feel that the more civilized language and behavior on LVP is one of it's draws. There is very little serious trash-talking and flaming on LVP, especially compared to the other servers, and many players like it that way. If you start letting in limited use of swearing, then arguments start over when it can or cannot be said. And yes, I know there is a difference between "oh fuck", and "fuck you". My solution is to not let the words be used at all. Period. Saves lots of fighting. There are 200,000 words in the English language. I'm only asking that 2 or 3 of them not be used. If you can't make your point without advanced swearing, then you should spend less time on here, and more time in English class.
I know that some crew members aren't as tough on this as I am, and if I'm asked to back off a bit, I will, just so we will all be even. However, if it's decided that it's up to the admin who's on at the time, I'll continue to warn those who don't know, and mute those who do know better.
