That might refer to an email with your full name in it or something like that, but I don't know.
If you play on Kongegrate you could just whisper the email to someone. Otherwise, I have no idea.

- The Everybody Edits staff reserves the right to edit this rule list at any time.

As part of the Everybody Edits staff, I would like to edit the rule list at this time and remove rule #2 for being unclear for the following reasons:

1. What exactly is considered offensive language? I believe that pretty much any word could be "offensive" if used in an "offensive way". Also, does this mean any word can get you a warning, ban, or removal of your chat? If so, that's just plain dumb. I'd hate to say "god this level is fun" and then be banned because I said "god" and someone got offended.

2. Another unclear thing about this rule, is the part about evading censors. Am I not allowed to say preteen, screw, Hiroshima, Nazi, and Hitler?
Having the possibility of being banned for saying, "I'm not a teenager yet, just a pre-teen" is stupid. Speaking of evading censors, honestly, has anyone NOT evaded a censor at some point? Having us ban users for censor evasion when we do it ourselves is hypocritical.

3. Going back to #1, what makes a word bad. I mean, it's just a word. Just like every other word that has ever existed. Nothing more. I find it really funny that "poop" and the "S word" have the exact same meaning, yet one is more accepted than the other. Words are dumb - Censors are dumb.
-----------------------------------------------------------
That being said, if there isn't a rule change, I will still refuse to ban anybody for saying a few simple words, unless of course, they break rule #3 while doing so.

Re: [Update] Everybody Edits Rules

I don't know why there is a extreme anti-curse word thing in society.

Though the game is targeted towards all ages if anything, and parents usually do not want children playing a game that has mature content. iirc having the f word in a movie more than 3 times or something automatically makes it have a rating of R.

Also

m1 I feel like the reasoning behind words like screw and preteen is the same as the reasoning behind the word gay.

the intent seems to be to prevent the possibility of people making fun of each other, and despite those words not always being used as offensive words, I assume they are often used to offend people, at least on ee, and have therefore been restricted.

I have heard before about something needing to be done to restrict offensive words in other languages such as spanish. I believe the idea was introduced by zeldaxd on the previous forums.
My mother and I have been insulted many times in spanish whilst playing ee.

Re: [Update] Everybody Edits Rules

Rule #2 will remain.  We are trying to keep the chat clean.  I will admit that there are some very weird word censors. But as GKA said, they are there to keep  people from having the possibility to use them in a negative, or abusive way.

This game is meant for people of all ages.  The rules are there to protect people.

I feel like the censor thing is pushed harshly on the game.  I guess the evading censor thing is the biggest part.  The game catches a lot of offensive words, but people will evade them anyway.

@Fradeshan - that was something I was messing with.

Re: [Update] Everybody Edits Rules

If you want to ask someone something, send it to them in a Private Message instead of interrupting the conversation he's in. You can send a private message by clicking the PM under their name.

To answer your question, his image is called a signature. You can set a signature by going to your profile and clicking Personality. You can type whatever you want into the text box in there and it will be displayed under all of your posts.

Please ask your questions in a new topic. This one is for discussion the new rules on EE, not for discussing how to use the forums.

Re: [Update] Everybody Edits Rules

I know I don't have much of a say in this, but I wanted to voice my opinion

First I want to ask something about rule 2:
Excluding offensive language used to disrespect someone (which would be against rule 3), what is the serious problem with offensive language? Are children being negatively affected?
if so, how many complaints have the administrators received from parents/guardians that their children heard 'offensive language'?

if it's a serious problem that's restricting EE's growth, then I completely understand why warnings should be put in place for breaking rule #2. But if it's not actually causing major problems for EE and its community, then I think bans and chat removal is a little too far.
The idea of offensive language is really based on perspective, some people could find things more offensive than others do, and that creates a problem. Where do we draw the line?
Master1 has a lot of solid points that I completely follow, being rude and disrespectful to others is something that shouldn't be done in general, but going far enough as to ban people for saying a swear or offensive word is just too much. (In my opinion)

Re: [Update] Everybody Edits Rules

We get so many reports about people swearing.  I would say about half of them are for that.

It's mostly just to prevent people from swearing at others, but it prevents all problems by telling everyone not to swear for any reason.  No has ever been banned for swearing, or had their chat removed.
