The server is family friendly. It was made to be family friendly. What this means to us, and therefore to you and the rest of our members, is that we take extreme pride in preventing the use of foul language, so everyone, young and old, can enjoy a server without sentences like what you have so bluntly demonstrated above being thrown about like its a World War 2 Allied landing boat at Normandy.
Like the Guy to the right said, we have a popular server because we have rules, and we stick to them. Our members, and our guests are treated as equals, and all are expected to know and understand all of our rules, including the language restrictions.
There are tons of other servers, and although we would rather have you play with us, on our server, you are more than welcome to play on another server where there are no language restrictions.
Our members and our guests are all encouraged to ask each other, when necessary, to please refrain from using profanity, or abbreviations which could be considered profane. Abbreviations are just as bad, because they invoke the same feelings the actual words do, when people understand what the abbreviation is for. And with the Internets' popularity, and kids texting like phones wont exist in an hour, almost everyone knows what you mean when you use any kind of abbreviation or initials of profane words.
The age of the children or of the adults is a moot issue. I'm an adult, and I absolutely LOVE the fact that MFF keeps its servers clean from profanity, I hear it all day, I see it everywhere, I like having a place to play online where I can finally get away from it. Profanity shows ignorance, and disregard for other's feelings. It hurts people more than simpler calmer words, and that hurt ultimately translates into more intensive verbal abuse between people, or an empty server. Neither case do I wish to witness. Nothing is worse than finding a great server with a decent ping, only to log on to it and see two people showing their e-Toughness to each other by how many profane words than can type a second, filling up the chat box, so nobody else can even concentrate on the game. When I used to go server-hopping, I would immediately leave servers like this - which is why I eventually ended up on MFF's, because their (our) is/was none of that.
Please do not get me wrong, profanity has a time and place, but MFF's server's are neither. If you sincerely feel the need to use profane language, then do so in your own home, at your computer, but there is no reason to type it into the server. I consider any substition of profane language abbreviated letters to be profane, since they can still easily be understood. You may use the words "darn it, silly goose, stinker, crazy face" or the like in substitution of the letters you really wish to use.
I would encourage you to read the letter from our founder on our
main page so you can better understand where MFF, and myself, are coming from.
But our rules apply in our forums as well, and It would be appreciated if you refrain from using further acronyms, or I will be locking the topic.
Thank you for your input, it will be treasured, but we will not be changing our family friendly rules anytime soon.
