Not okay with this language from cubecraft!

[KitKatkels17]

Ok so I don't even know where to put this but I am appalled that CubeCraft put this type of language on the forums, even though you are able to report people for this language

Incase you didn't see it CubeCraft said and I quote "We work hard to make a kick-ass community"
I am not ok with that kind of language being on CubeCraft a kid friendly server that bans people for saying that.
I found this is status which can be found by going to the report section and looking at the dark blue bar.
Link --> https://stats.cubecraft.net/
I would really appreciate a reason for this and to have this taken down or have the word replaced

Well I understand that they didn't mean anything bad by it. personally I don't think it's that bad, kids say it all the time and here, and outside of the internet. But if they mute people for saying that, it could be a bit hypocritical.

Well, you're already telling them to change it, so why not give them something good enough so they can change it to that?

Maybe they can make it a awesome server

I honestly don't even know why cubecraft cares so much about swearing. Most kids these days know/use swear words at younger and younger ages so it's not like limiting language is 'protecting' anyone. I understand that people can use it in a toxic way, but saying 'kick-ass' should be completely fine.

CubeCraft's stats page isn't visited that much. I visit it if the server gets a high player count.

Kids seeing this language won't traumatize them or anything so its not a big deal.

 

[DanDaDino]

I agree, this sort of language, although not particularly bad, shouldn't really be on ccg

 

[Spleefy]

So you object to the word "kick-ass"? Hmm, interesting.

I get this is a kid-friendly site, but I just can't see how the word "kick-ass" is really anything to lose sleep over. It adds a bit of a punch to the sentence. And as @Jefsweatsgames said, kids won't be traumatized by it. I do appreciate where you are coming from, and I'm sorry that word bothers you, but I just can't see why it is such a big deal.

But thank you for voicing your concerns and sharing this with us :)

IT'S JUST A WORD!

 

[Vickay]

The thing is, they don't even mute for the word "ass" so I don't really understand how this could be considered "hypocritical" ...
It really is just a word and it's not even being used in offensive context... no need to get so worked up over it.

It depends how young you are looking at. Saying words like this has never bothered me personally because saying "ass" it's looked on as really mild language.

I think if the player base for this server was 3 year olds then changing this would be fair enough but saying "ass" is everywhere anyway these day, especially in films.

A lot of PG movies say "ass". If you look at the age rating for minecraft it is 7+ which is along the same lines as the PG movie rating so if you go by ratings and what kids are "allowed" to see and hear then at this age they are old enough to be around it.

At the end of the day though it's down to the parents preference with what kind of language they allowed their kids around, age ratings can say anything but if the parent sees something they would rather not have their kids around then it's up to them to keep them away from it.

Also this is on the stats page which in my opinion is one of the most pointless pages in the entire forum and if a kid that age was going out of their way to look for that page I would be very surprised.

Well, you can contact staff privately, they may respond, you never know.

I like the fact that Cube wants to be mainly a child friendly server, but personally I couldn't care less about swearing. I get it, when someone targets you with that kind of language, something needs to be done. But most swear words, I'm pretty fine with. Words like ass, I don't really see a problem with. It's not really harmful as other words such as 'b-tch' and more.

And as a few people above me have already mention. They find the word not really worth getting so worked up about. And I agree. It sounds pretty petty, but kay.

I think the fact that strict rules are in place show that they genuinely care about their server, by not allowing people to swear it narrows their players to a specific player base who are friendly and don't swear and not a toxic die hard PVP community. (BadLion, anyone?)

I generally think it's the best move to make.

As for the post, I don't think it should be changed. Because for one; you can't be punished for saying "kick-ass" in the same context it is here, you can't call someone an ass but that's different from what we see here. 'Ass' also isn't even in the filter for swear words on the server further showcasing that it is in fact OK to say this, so it's not hypocritical whatsoever.

The community is still toxic even with these "strict" rules.

The community is still toxic even with these "strict" rules.

It's definitely not as bad as other servers by any stretch of the imagination but the way it is now is the best it could possibly get with such a huge player base, this is just this game in general.

You said that a lot...

 

[ChillyTree]

I really do not see anyone that is 9 or under here. Most people that are active here are 11+. Besides ass = butt. I don't think that it is nessessary to remove this. It's just a joke :P. Sorry but -1 on this one.

Swearing makes me uncomfortable sometimes. :P

Well actually the reason you can say ass is because of the game assassians and cubecraft wants you to be able to say that because it's a game they have.
