I was once booted for "camping" on a race server. Hey guys, you know that world-wide known famous tactic that many nation's miltiaries use in real life? They call it many things - ambush, setting up a trap, waiting for the enemy come to you, the frog doesn't chase its food because it waits for the fly to come to it, and such. But we call it camping. People do it in real life. You're not so dumb if you defend your base. There's a difference between standing in the same place waiting to get cheap kills and getting your ass kicked by competent players and defending your base, as in CTF and such. Some race clans are good, but lots of them are quite retarded.
If I could fit that in my signature, it would be the only thing there. This is the worst with the frg on Danger canyon, one of the best gametypes on my clan's server. People don't know the difference between defense and camping, offense and whoring, etc. It gets old with all the complaints. If you don't like it, find a way around it and defeat it. Complaining won't do anything, because we don't ban for using a good strategy like the "heavy whores" who make all three captures.
My clan is really strict too, but we don't like cussing for a reason nobody else has stated so far: it disrupts the happy environment when someone says stfu noob or something similar. I may just laugh in the face of name-calling, but some people don't and take offense. As a member, it's my job to keep server quality as high as I can, and that means alerting an admin for bans when someone continues to cuss after being warned. I love my clan, and even though some of our rules are harsh, I obey them, and anyone who doesn't gets shown the door.
My clan is about having fun and helping others do the same while being polite. We consider ourselves "the gentlemen of the game," as our front page states. That's why we don't allow cussing. It's nothing moral, it's just out of goodwill towards other players.
Now, as for these race clans: they take it too far. They are hypocrites, they aren't polite about their warnings, and they apparently have no backbone as they don't apply their own rules to themselves and don't enforce the bans after one warning as they say they will.
