important aloha changes

hello mr atrain, i am aware of this signature you say, my brother came to my computer and he put this on while i was making a grilled cheese sandwich, i think he did this as a prank but to be honest it is very mean and now he will not tell me how to change this and this is very annoying because everytime i post something there is a curse word under it, maybe if an admin can remove it for me or show me how because i do not like this signature i have

thank you for your support white guy, i will be who i want to be but sometimes it is important to listen to other because they may have good ideas or they have a problem that they needs to be addressed and it is important to listen to help them, someimtes they make me angry but more important is we need make aloha a better place

Stop referring to Freedom of Speech - As I’ve already explained it doesn’t apply here. Or anywhere on the internet. (Perhaps only if the government restricts your internet access directly because of your views). It was ScrapHead who unnecessarily brought it up.

Now :relaxed:, let’s play a game. Let’s pretend I say this to you in-game: ‘You little Indian cunt with two fingers up your bum and curry up your nose’.
Now you’ve got 3 choices here;

A) Take Offense
B) Ignore Me
C) Leave The Game

(Note: If you say ‘get an admin’ you have effectively chosen A)

By choosing A you’ve already lost. Because choosing A (To take offense) means you thought about B (Ignoring me) but still chose to take offense. Which means you have the ability to ignore any forms of criticism you encounter, but choose not to. And this is exactly what I mean when I previously said you have the right to listen to what you want - because you heard what I said of course, but then decided to listen to it - as Danat pointed out.
I know ignoring people can be hard, and of course targeted harassment should be warned/muted (which is what you described). But it’s part of growing up and learning to deal with things you don’t like on the internet.

I remember there being an /ignore command in a now-closed UK hallway server, meaning you would not see any more messages from that user for a period of time. I think this is the simple solution if we keep getting whiny cunts who need paracetamol after seeing something they don’t like. Should I suggest this in a fresh thread?

hello kungfuchicken,
thanks for your response this game is a creative idea but it is a stupid game, i would rather play better game like ace of spades
the words that you theoretically say to me they are mean but i am not choose A) because i am not indian and so this does not offend me personally but instead i choose D) where i am not offended but i tell you that this words are mean to many people especially indians and i tell you to not say this because it can hurt feelings, maybe if you keep saying words like this i would initiate a votekick or even tell admin if other players agree that this is mean words
i like this idea of /ignore command, it is great but i am not sure this is possible if i am not mistaken there were attempts at similar thing but they did not work, but if you seen this work in another server maybe it is possible, i guess this is up to the admins to figure out

The real world doesn’t care about your feelings, buck up.

You do all realize he is troll?

sorry but i think you are mistaken, kungfuchicken is not a troll he has been a member on aloha since 2015, i dont see why you think he is trolling he is just giving his opinons, maybe he is a bit harsh sometimes but he is serious as far as i know and he has good points

YOU are the troll.

Whoah there sharp shooter, throw a lasso round that steer and reel it in. My boy :relaxed: just tryin to have an intellectual sorts with us buckos and rootin tootin cowboys round these parts. No need to come in winchester blazin’ with all this tumbleweed talk of trolls. Please take your WOW roleplay to some other ghost town pardna.

OP is a fucking faggot.

:smiley:

hello zerofuggsgiven,
know you see, this is exactly your response that i think is the problem in aloha, why do you feel this need to call me a thing like this, maybe it is true that i am gay but i am not but i even if i am i do not see how this is relevant to the topic of this discussion, also i do not see reason why you feel that it was necesary to curse in this comment, maybe i am not a religious or a child but some poeple have a problem when they see a thing like this, also i feel that from the way you say this that you think it is bad to be gay, this is a problem that you think this way because there are many gays in the world and only because they are gay does not mean they are worse then other people like me and you and so it is mean to them to read a comment like this, hopefully there arent any gays that read this comment but if they are they will probably think that this is very rude, maybe you should apologise for this, not to me but to the other people but also to me because this comment is also rude to me,
thanks

K. Good to know. You’re still a fag.

sry for necro post im just a stupid knee grow

I think votekick quotas should be counted per team kinda like in cs:go
The team with the cheater will obviously not vote to kick him because the he gives them a nice advantage
Same applies to griefers


I also don’t agree with word filters / profanity mutes
alot of people say that “bad wordz” hurt children but they really don’t
children are the ones that use them most often because they wanna be 3DGY (just like me lol)
the people that get offended are almost always not children and they say that it’s a threat to children just to hide their own sensitivity
i dunno if there is a /muteonlyformyself command on aloha but if there is just use it insead of complaining and votekicking
if only one person is offended why mute for everyone?

i think the only good reasons to mute are
doxing
spam (it will auto mute you anyways)
posting links to illegal shit like cp, drugs
there is also a bug where you can put some \n’s in your name and take up several lines of the chat/killfeed

----highly offensive (lol)----

Just read through this thread a bit, thought I’d put in my two cents. A lot of kids use the internet in general and we should not censor the internet. When I’m in public I don’t look around me to make sure there’s no children before cussing casually in my conversation. But I’m also not going to go to the park where kids hang out and start screaming vulgarities. What I’m getting at with this is that there’s a time and a place. Cussing in game shouldn’t be a big deal unless it’s excessive, or blatant racism. The internet is a free place and if you have such a passion against cuss words you should not be using it.

I do not know who brought “save the children” into this discussion.
The biggest users of profanity, as well as racial, religious and sexual slander are kids and juveniles.
Grownups tend to grow out of the need to “prove themselves” by these means.
On Aloha’s servers, a quite incredible span of age groups are gaming on a more or less level playing field.
This means that everybody has to “listen” to the 12 year old who thinks that calling everyone “jew-nigger-faggots” is the cat’s meow.

Having a wish to not have the game experience disturbed by this shit is not a sign of sensorship, limitations to the freedom of speech, lack of “growing up” or anything else. It is simply a wish for a more comfortable game experience. …and again… I am not complaining about some cursing… It is the racism, the anti-semitism and the anti-lgbtwhatever that I personally would not mind having automuted.

You see a brazilian kid use english profanity while playing OpenSpades in software mode. He has an intro that was made by somebody or some website on Google and put shit music. He puts MLG and Xxx in his name. Having a shit ratio and probsbly has an edgy playername on the server. He rages, downloads hacks, record it, upload it, gets banned, lie on appeal, tells the truth because he wants to be famous and record YouTube videos, doesn’t get famous, doesn’t say he got banned after video ends, subscriber finds out and calls him a noob without knowing the meaning of noob, doesn’t record, changes account, do other weird shit.

This is what we mostly see in the servers.
Some 12 year olds who almost always come up with the same reason in appeal
Hoorays, talk lots of shit, gets muted, evades mute, gets banned again not having a high chance of getting unbanned, denied, changes ip then gets banned again, does the same shit.

Says 9/11 is cool, listens to new music and has a name based on a meme on the internet, supports KKK and loves Hitler, probably has a vore fetish and other shit.

I don’t like the idea of censoring but there are several players that constantly try to disrupt the game. Mostly I ignore it but I rarely pay attention to chat anyway. Why not just permaban the ones that constantly disrupt the servers?

I think a permaban is a little too harsh for playing who simply type racial slurs in-game, a long auto-mute would be great idea, like that Ben Cousins kid received.

I think permaban for those that constantly abuse the system is absolutely justified. However, by constantly I mean those that have been given 10+ chances already and still abuse the system knowing they will be allowed back because the admins are pretty darn generous.
