Should the Censor plugin be disabled?

[lelithdel]

So folks, I don't want swearing on the server but I don't have the spare time to read through the log files of chat etc and then tell people off for swearing...

The censor it plugin will get better as more words are added to the whitelist however:

If you want, I can disable the plugin but I still want chat to be kept clean as all ages should be able to play on the server.

If a Yes vote wins, I would appreciate if people private message me about rule breakers I can then check the logs and talk to them about it. I of course will not tell them who alerted me to it.

People who swear will either be demoted to the "AlmostBanned" rank and lose their teleporting permissions or they will be banned. Whether its a warning, demote or a ban is a case by case basis.

I honestly think the plugin is more trouble than it's worth. You obviously don't have the time to keep adding every word in the dictionary that has a swear word in it, and people are going to curse anyway.

Of course you can just discourage swearing and mention that you prefer to keep it down. We don't want to turn the server into a swear fest.

Totally agree with GoodVibes, I mean his name was blocked earlier.. C'mon, it's his name! But yeah, I think that if you had a rule where say.. Excessive swearing is a mute 1St time you did it, it might be 30minutes muted, 2Nd time you do it it's for say.. 2 hours and 3Rd might be for a whole day, getting progressively longer until it's permanent and you could have players report [WITH proof on the forums] any excessive swearing to help combat it.

All chat and commands are logged to server files so if someone lets me know the day and the username its really easy to look it up.

There is an almost banned rank where they don't have permission to teleport. I can place them there for a day or so. Most people though will apologise/clean up their chat though and that'll be the end of it.

As the other post in the forums, I'd like people to message me about reports and ban requests etc. If it is posted on the forum it just causes drama which I don't want to deal with on my time off!
