banned for language issue

[ctr2012]

"This seems right at first"? Of course its right. The filter doesn't stop people from doing it? Who cares its *****'d out? how can **** be offensive to anyone? It cant (unless you are a moron), = you win as no one can display any offensive language, and equally, people cant see it. Furthermore, people can actually play the game instead of getting poxy little three day bans.

I personally prefer this law. Blank or not the meaning is there and there must be a punishment for it. Profanity is banned, and you can be arrested for it if caught.

This is all just a cultural differance. I don't think the game should have ever been released in non-Slavic countries.

you can be arrested for swearing?! OMG. Thats a new one to tell the friends. IF you only released it in slavic countries you'd 1)have hardly any sales to cover the costs of making the game and 2) you'd have no games to join. end of.

what you call cultural difference i call cultural oppression.

I didn't mean to be insulting. And im not American, I realize how they can be. I'm from Europe myself. I just find it crazy how u can be arrested for swearing. Seems rediculas.

Well i dont swear much so i have no issue with that. Im just trying to think logically and perhaps make the game a bit more popular, and above all find a solution to stop people being banned for the odd swear word. Ive said before and i'll say it again, filter it. Any bets you will find a filter in up coming patches. LOGICAL!!!!!

But your thought that this game should never have been published outside the east europe seems quite odd. It's not realistic to deny the game from it's main market (meaning the market where the MONEY comes from) because Americans are "rude or narrowminded" (if someone obeys a law discriminating swearing, who's the narrow minded again ). You're arguments just seem to be based on youre dislike of some western people. I'm from Finland, and while we traditionally have had profound predjustices about Russian people, In the game it's down to real facts (which you seem to be lacking). I generally avoid Russian players because 1) They GENERALLY have poor computers (Whitch is not suprising if a countrys GDP is around 9000$) 2) They GENERALLY have high pings (Even people playing in Leningrad, just 400km away from Helsinki often have like 400ms ping. Not even mentioning the ones in Moskow...) 3) Like 80% of them seem to be unable to produce even a word of English. Cooperation is the way to play this game, so it's futile to even try to play with these people. Of course I do have certain "personal oppinions" about Russians and despite most of these don't seem to be the players I would like to play with, would the game be better if it wasn't published in slavic countries? Of course not. The biggest problem of the game is rage quitting, and it doesnt correlate with ones nationality :/

I don't consider banning people for obscene language to be the best solution, but it's in a way better than a spam filter (it just makes the swearing more outlined IMO). But I hate the fact that the main chat is virtually dead because of the risk of getting a banned for for example saying "Hooligan" in there. I'm some other strategy games, interesting, at the night-time even EPIC conversations are going on there all the time: in MoW there is just someone named Sergey9593968265_84 (That was infact someones real game nick O.o...) spamming "join combat port 8v8 600resource ger vs ussr" (Who even plays those retarded spamfests ). I'm a man of humour, and usually get the server full of my kind of people by saying something like "HEY Y'ALL JOIN MY MAGNIFICENT VILLAGE 4v4 INSTEAD OF THOSE SPAMFESTS TO REACH NIRVANA". I also often like to troll or confuse my fellow gamers as lot as possible, just for the fun of it. I've been banned once, and I reckon it's not going to be long untill the hammer mutilates me again: a small prize to play to be able to play in a personal, fun way ;D.

P.S. I saw a Russian player a playing the game a while back: He had inserted the serial code of his game as his game nick....

Oh, I see Korsakov has requested his profile to be deleted. He seems to be trying to "forget the English language and boycott everything that is not slavic". Seems like I'm not going to get response to my post any time soon
