Why are words like "the n word" and profanity banned from the forums if Halo 2 is rated mature. If these people were mature wouldn't they be able to handle profanity and the horrifying "n word"? A lot of people that play this game should be called the "n word" because all they can kill with is stuff that doesn't require any practice. Post your opinions about these banned words.

The Noob Rule was put into effect to stop people from using that anoying word.

Moved to the Septagon, as that's the dedicated forum for bungie.net and community issues.

-- Steve'll say that the "blam" filter is there because, alas, "Mature" doesn't mean mature.

True the word is annoying, but I can be more annoying in plenty of other ways.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Stole the words from my mouth.

Go on Xbox Live. Tell me if everyone there is Mature. Just because the game is intended for a mature audience doesn't really mean the audience intends to be mature.

Was that play on words cheesy or cool? I thought it as kinda neat. I made it up on the spot.

Sweet icon. And you're right. Some of the forum mods here should play some team training with some random people and here what's coming out of little Jonny's mouth.

The mods can't do anything about it, though.

What makes you think we haven't waded through that sewage? Or, for that matter, that we'd want that sewage here too?

The filter is quite handy. Thats my opinion at least. The forum would be horrible without it.

Um, not the "racial slur" word (which is already "blammed") but the derogatory term for "neophyte".

-- Steve doesn't object, in principle, to "blamming" the forbidden term... but it's not up to him.

Most people feel the same way you do. I do.

Also, it would be very nice if the word N---- I mean the bad word for new members were to be blamified.

  • 09.23.2005 3:14 PM PDT

o ya. I have to agree with that. Plus i know alot of people hate racial slurs. But i live in the south. South enough people use that word enough.

Mature people should be mature enough to not use such immature words.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Three reasons:

1. Most people on this forum don't act mature. If you're going to act childish and use profanity constantly, well, I'm going to treat you like a child.
2. We have no way of knowing if you are a minor and if your parent/guardians approve of you being here.
3. Your post illustrates another good reason - you think we should call people noobs because they kill with stuff that doesn't require any practice. Hell, people call the PP/BR combo the noob combo... which is stupid, because most real new players have great difficulty mastering said combo... anyway, the real point is this: Who are you to be judge of what requires practice? This is another demonstration of a lack of maturity - thinking that your experience is the general case for all.

So, no, you get no profanity, and you get banned for trying to circumvent the filter.

Eh?

It seems that the moderators post more in this forum....probably because people are slightly more bearable here....It seems that the other forums like zanzibar are full of people who like to flame and yell. I like the septagon....there are moderators....moderators make sense......unlike most people here.

The moderators on the forum are not Gods that play only custom games with other mods. They play regular matchmaking too. Even though they do hear it(and they do), what do you expect them to do? The fact is, they can't do anything more than what you can do, send feedback.

I think -blam!- should be on the -blam!- filter


I second that. The popularity of that word on XBL and these forums disgusts me.

You know what? I think Achronos likes being superior. He likes to rub it in our puny little faces.

You see, normal people post the quote first and then their response. But not Achronos! He has to be on top all the time! And of course, he has to have the answer to everything. Hmph. If you ask me, I think we should have a much more humble Overlord....Someone like me for example.



Anyway, what's this thread about?
