{{LapisScarab|time=03:54, January 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=...Um, no Hex, it actually ''is'' a major swear word. I don't know where you're from, but where I come from that is ''the'' swear word.}} | {{LapisScarab|time=03:54, January 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=...Um, no Hex, it actually ''is'' a major swear word.

{{SSC|time=03:57, January 23, 2010 (UTC)|F-text=I don't recall seeing in [[KHWiki:IRC|here]] that there is anything about "swearing" being against the rules. And Rocker isn't online, is she?<br>…Thought not. | |||
Anyways, your solution to this is… Not so great. For one thing, if you are offended by swears, why bother going? We're all people; we're no one's slaves to control and manipulate. In other words, I mean, we're people and you can't control the amount of profanity coming out of our text boxes. For another, if we actually do this, it will be back to spamming the talk pages. And I don't enjoy seeing Wiki mail about my talk page being spammitied with trivial matters.}} | |||
{{HexedTalk|text=LS, Fuck is nothing. it's used so much it's lost all meaning.}} | |||
{{Xion4ever|time=04:06, January 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=This seems a petty complaint from someone who vexes others on the IRC channel and abuses the /me function. Also, seeking to delete the IRC channel because they were banned is an ignorant move. Why ruin it for everyone, hm? | |||
But I digress, do I like swearing? Nah, not really. I'm used to hearing the swears from school and such. | |||
I honestly don't care about the swearing as long as it isn't excessive and deragatory. If a user is excessively saying swears and bashing other users with it, then I see a problem. | |||
But if its to say something like "Oh crap, that stinks." I don't see a problem. In short: Do I like/use swears? No. Do I have anything against them? As long as they aren't excessive and deragatory against other users, I don't see a problem. Are there better words to use then swears? Of course, but I don't believe we have the right (on the IRC) to tell a user what they can/cannot type. Wouldn't that be invading their rights?}} | |||
{{LapisScarab|time=04:14, January 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=Simply deleting the IRC is a simplistic, foolish move, but how is it invading personal rights to ask users to be considerate of other users? We have plenty of users that are rather young and even some users (myself included) that are in their mid-teens are offended by certain swear words. It's just simple edicate.}} | |||
{{HexedTalk|text=Sorry to but in, but a little note of reference: It's impossible for us to delete the IRC channel.}} | |||
{{Xion4ever|time=04:35, January 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=Like I mentioned earlier, if its occassional and not excessive/bashing I don't really have a problem with it. I not particularly fond of curse words, but its just a reality we must accept; people are going to curse, we cannot stop that. | |||
About the user rights, it would be like me kicking a user for saying "suck" or "hell" since I find those offensive (this is an '''example''')! My point is, there will be cursing/swears everywhere and anywhere you go, that is just a fact we must accept. I propose that we (operators and users) do our best to minimalize swearing and such on the IRC channel. This will lower some of the swearing and such. To be honest, I haven't really seen a major/noteworthy problem with cursing on the channel as of late. I've seen the occasional "hell", "sucks", and (RARELY) the "f-bomb". | |||
Also, by certain swear words I don't mean the racial, "c-word", (other) "p-word", etc. I'm talking about the usual swear words. I would like to also point out that a user can on the IRC can use the /ignore nick function and the /clear function.}} | |||
