Of douchbaggery and trolls.

So I've noticed recently that the number if curse words and idiotic/hateful comments has increased about 4000% over the last couple weeks. I'm not sure why this is, maybe there's been a mass-puberty hitting session, or a bunch of noobs just joined, but the in-game community... Kinda sucks. I tend to turn off chat to not see all thee people. It's gotten pretty bad. And I think that these things and hateful comments could really hurt someone, especially the younger community. It has caused many dedicated players to quit. I think, to stop this, that mods/players should be able to do something about this. Players should no NOT to say these things. I think that mods should be able to kick or ban for this, and players should be able to report it. I know I will. Wether or not you've seen this, it IS a pressing issue that NEEDS to be addressed. What ever happened to our mature, relaxed, community? One explanation could be the bounty wars. Personally, I think the points cause a lot of grief and stress amongst players. And they can be gained artificially, through bounty exploits. Why not replace them with something that reflects skill, like that player's wins? I feel that this would relax people a bit more, and stop some of the anger of dying.
This community was once wonderful.
But it has fallen so, so, low.
I do, however, believe we can bring it back.

This isn't something we want on our servers, but if you can take pictures of them saying more then a few hateful words, and post on the report abuse section, there account will be dealt with. This way we can eliminate the bad guys and have clean chat for all to enjoy.

Yes, I've been accumulating quite a nice hoard f these screenshots. They will be submitted to the section soon.

How do mods handle this ingame? Do they kick without warning? And ban the person if they do it again?

Warned, kicked, temp ban for hour or depending on how long mod chooses.

How about you guys stop warning them. They know it is wrong.

Because then we have more and more thread of "I was kicked for no reason" or "I wasn't warned" which would make situations a lot worse.

If this keeps happening in game poke a mod on Teamspeak and we will be able to deal with it much better than if you just take screenshots as most language offences would be kick only and when we aren't in game with them it makes it hard for us to deal with it properly.
If you don't have Teamspeak i highly recommend it as it is a very useful tool for communicating with staff and other members of the community.
