Remove Rules Regarding Speech

Why would that matter?

Because the bot cant tell the difference??

Let’s count how many times I’ve used the nword here.
Probably it’s close to 1-2.
It’s not about the nword alone, although it’s a major point for both sides.
Ravellon summs it up pretty well:

Except not, what this shows is that the community was going down this road, to begin with. The journey already started and you’re the one who decided to join us down the path but complain about it once we got to our obvious destination.

Personal attacks in the form of slurs against other players of any kind shouldn’t be tolerated. Again I point out “Be excellent to each other” rule. If someone were to call you the slur you use as an example here on the forums I would expect them to be reprimanded.

I shouldn’t have to provide everything for you. Basic knowledge is something that should be expected from the very person who started the subject. It’s not my fault you came unprepared and under-educated. https://discord.com/new/guidelines

Hate speech naturally would involve the slurs that go along with such groups of people. Also, Bee is not Discord, so while we have to enforce Discord ToS on the Discord server, we are free to expand upon such. So the Discord ToS is really just a forced starting point but in no way an end point.

No, I just think you are disingenuous here and don’t really want to handle actual replies that rebuke your stance. You came terribly unprepared for this and now that you dealt with an in-depth and reasoned reply all you have is this nonsense to throw endlessly.

Again asking for things that are readily available to you through this very website.

But hey let’s see if Crossed will deliver more hard-hitting stats that he has access to as the host. @Crossedfall can you please put the player stats over a decent course of time please?

Okay, good for them? Doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be rules against the behavior. If arson suddenly stopped it doesn’t mean we should remove it from our law books as a criminal act.

If the majority of players were discontent they would have left. There are other places that are less restrictive than they could go to but they didn’t. The majority has chosen to stay and we still have an extremely successful SS13 community. The political beliefs of the people of Bee are actually very varied. For example, Kev the former owner until recently is a personal freedom heavy socialist, while I myself am a right-wing authoritarian. Despite these extreme differences, it has never once caused conflict between us beyond healthy political and respectful debate. I’m not entirely sure of anyone else’s political stances. It’s never really come up and no matter where we stand politically it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t work together to do what is clearly the right thing.

Avoidance, ignoring the obvious, and attempting to escape the conversation hoping bias from others makes you appear right.

Again the steady popularity of Bee speaks for itself. Nor is this a democracy, it never has been and it isn’t now. Doing what is right should always take priority over anything else. This has worked out very well for Bee and if you are discontent to this point you are free to move onto TG which you appear to enjoy more.

still hypocritical to not ban any slurs regarding any races other than black.

im not going to lose sleep over the countless other smoothbrain biggoted/racist arguements rooted in white nationalism/superiority being banned

ironic how retarded nword calling racists don’t need to attack you to prove their point

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut up ahhhhhhhh.

Can’t we just have a consistent standard, like “don’t use bigoted language that you wouldn’t use at the dinner table or out with friends”?

why cant we have the rule “be excellent” cover it?

Can’t we have consistent standard to not bully and harass everyone without limiting our speech?

wouldnt that involve not using racial slurs as to not offend any minorties playing though?

Things were just fine before.
The rules were made because of some shitty discord tos changes and tweet from ss13 account. I don’t believe administration intents are honest and the rules unironically caused more racism outbreaks.

they might have seemed fine to you, you dont get offended by it

other people who do wouldnt have stuck around and complained, they would just leave

You weren’t offended either. We were doing pretty good job removing harassers and cunts before.
The community wasn’t toxic, I didn’t see anyone calling someone racist slurs unironically.

I’m just going to lay this out in a fairly simple manner and then I’m going to close this topic because it’s going nowhere good fast.

The rules are set. We’re not changing them. If you really have some insatiable need to say the n-word or some other hateful language, go do it somewhere else. We don’t want that here and we’re not going to lighten up on it.
