So,
Know that this may come as a surprise to some of you, but I was banned because I asked why someone else was warned for saying "Crap" in chat.
This seems amazingly short sighted, and just ... that's not even an MPAA "PG", or "G". That's an ESRB "EC" rating.
And, on your Whitelist application threads, you will turn down player applications, as this is a ...
If someone is to be warned for saying "crap!" for falling down a hole, and dying, and I get banned for a day for questioning it, maybe it's time to maybe have an open community thread on the matter.
Then again, you could just dewhitelist me for being a free thinking human, and I'll be on my way.

Denied. Its a pg13 server so we will not tolerate language like that.
We aim for a T for Teen type environment according to the ESRB. Not only is it inappropriate, but it is also immature. Maturity is a big factor on this server, and will determine a lot of your reputation.

Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language.
I had the opportunity to speak to JustShadow on the inconsistency in the rules, as reflected by different moderators and admins on the server, and we came to a general agreement that mods will view each rule and regulation as they understand them. I went on to tell him, and this is true, that as an admin, and lead mod on a few forums, I'd always have to reel mods in, and just make sure we are all being consistant, in order to not just breed confusion, and chaos to the community.http://mpaa.org/ratings/what-each-rating-means said:PG-13 — Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.
If someone is to be warned for saying "crap!" for falling down a hole, and dying, and I get banned for a day for questioning it, maybe it's time to maybe have an open community thread on the matter.
Then again, you could just dewhitelist me for being a free thinking human, and I'll be on my way.
