Thoughts on "KYS" or "Kill Yourself" used in chat

Do you think it is appropriate for someone to type "KYS" or "Kill Yourself" in game?

Me personally, I don't like when people say this. I’ve dealt with horrid depression for a large chunk of my life. But I still slip up and say it sometimes and I always regret it, I'm not proud of it.

All this to say, bZ doesn't restrict its use, nor do we have any plans to do so anytime in the near future. I will not allow my personal beliefs to interfere with that, just like many other things. So, go for it, but just don't go overboard with it (just like anything else).

I achieved what I wanted to do. I opened a dialogue about a topic I found worthy of discussion.

Also- I never mentioned a "ban", just perhaps a temporary mute.

Obama, I have witnessed people actually do it. Never affected me afterwards (overtly) but I just thought it was not with the nature of the game. It goes beyond "trash talk".

Theres no need to be a cunt about a conversation to those who commented negatively. Apparently your'e not evolved enough to have a conversation.

Thanks for your input.

Who's being a cunt? I'm certainly not. I'm discussing this in a calm, reasonable manner. I disagree with your suggestion to restrict the use of a certain phrase, that's all. At no point did I attack you personally or do anything else that could be considered cunty.

Obie, the "cunt" comment wasn't for you. If i didnt clarify, apologies. -- it was for those who chose hyperbole instead of conversation.

To continue with this a little, we will only take action if it's under extreme circumstances. Typically if something like this is occurs, the player is also receiving a toxicity ban from Battlefield Agency.

Even I am not a huge fan of people showing this side of toxicity towards others, but if it's the occasional message here and there, then it's rather pointless for us to act upon it. Other than that, Frank sums it up perfectly.

Something is always going to offend someone so what is the limit? Why stop at censoring "kys"? Why not censor mom jokes? Surely someone is going to be really offended by them. What about calling people faggots? I'm certain there are gay people who play here who find that term offensive. How about jokes about people with missing fingers, or jokes about cat owners, or penis size, or any other possible thing in the world? Do you see how this is a never ending sequence of banned language?

In Canada, and probably elsewhere in the world, it's illegal to incite someone to commit suicide. It's in the Criminal Code. I'd say that's a good indicator that it's crossed the line.

Whether I'm for or against controlling the chat at this point is another story, and it's not very relevant. It's up to the administrators to decide, because they're the ones who will be dealing with the conflicts of the plebs.
