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.


With the utmost respect...Mu language professor says that people who refer to themselves in the 3rd person are stupid and didnt take on language class in thier entire life. And please dont shoot the messenger. By that i mean please dont ban me.

Why are words like "the n word" and profanity banned from the forums if Halo 2 is rated mature.


Curse words and insults have nothing to do with being mature. Immature people are the ones that make that connection.

Oh, darn. Heaven forbid a person fails to meet the expectations of a language teacher. I wonder who feels less fulfilled by the job he does: The students that have to put up with a man who bases his sense of character off a humorless examination of language, or the man himself, who I'm guessing find solace in an otherswise dreary and borish career in his "holier-than-thou" take on spoken and written word.

Ach! Was ist los?

My fifth grade English teacher was like that. I'd probably be rich and famous already if he hadn't put me off writing for so long.

With the utmost respect, you may want to direct Professor Mu to an analysis of the use of whimsey in subverting literary tropes for humourous or dramatic effect. Or you could ignore him, as I did.

-- Steve took too many damned language classes, in more than one language in fact, to avoid feeling unutterable pain when reading these forums sometimes. U no wat eye meen?

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

FIrst of all...this is Bungie.net, we do not need someone giving us lectures that he got from a boring professor. Secondly, the English language is always changing...so by saying that using one form of the language is absurd. And by forms I mean there is Slang, Formal, Informal, Casual...and many more. So if this professor is talking about how the English language should be used as form or way ( Ex: 3rd person ) then he/she needs to get out a lot more.

One blammed word I don't really understand is sex ual. Doesn't make sense to me personally, but I suppose there are reasons. I do think noob should be blammed, I really get tired of seeing that word. Nevermind the fact that I just wrote it.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

It's funny when you find out some words that are censored and some that aren't. Like; the part males use to reproduce. It starts with a "D". It is not censored. Dick, see? Now when I try to use this word, -blam!-, it is censored. What the hell. The word is something women use every month in their cycle. If you still don't know what it is, it comes in packs of 12 and are very absorbent. And yes I figured this out because I was using the word -blam!-, in a sentence. I know, not very gentlemen of me. But you get my point.

The word for a male chicken is censored as well, but I cant really think of any reason anyone would want to talk about chickens here, and you could just say rooster. After hearing how potty mouthed peeps are on live I can really understand why the filter is in place. Anyway it just forces you to be more creative!

Some guys names are Dick. How would they feel if their name was suddenly Blammed?

my last post on this forum was banned probley by the bungie overlord wich wouldnt suprise me because i was taking about how he changed my name for a bull reason. do all of you really put up with this person that seams to be the god of the univers. if he happens to delete this post to there will be no reasen for i did not say eny bad words or enythang of the sort. the only reasen he has to delete this post is he probly doasent like peaple saying something about him unless it talks about him being great.


I would just like peaple to know!


Moderator Note:

Well, if it were deleted it could be because you replied off-topic to the thread, made a complaint that even you admit is an assumption and then proceeded to make a poorly written and phrased rant.

At least that is why I would delete it.

As far as the fact that you "did not say eny bad words or enythang of the sort."?

I have a list of all of my old teachers from my days in school (that are still alive) who would be happy to tell you that bad spelling is a form of "bad words".

So, get a spell-check, drop the 'tude, and remember that not everyone is out to get you.

Actually Jolly, I am the one who deleted your post. You were told to change your name because you had a racist word in it, and I deleted your post because you repeated the word that was in your name and it the post was just an attempt to bash the Master Forum Ninja that asked you to change your name.

Put it this way, you are lucky I didn't just blacklist you for it.

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


kinda like you won't find many gentlemen in most "gentlemen's clubs"
