Is this really the community of MapleRoyals?

~setting megaphones disableall
Using that command is your best option, IMO. Though it doesn't block the purples ones(The ones that appear on top right corner) like they used to.

 

i mean i get that some things can be triggering, but when that happens you have two options (and i use option 2 a lot, because it is easier):
1. tell the person to stop saying triggering things, which can lead to the situation getting worse (exhibit a: this thread)
2. shrug it off and move on

if you want to be on the internet, then you got to be prepared to see things you won't like, but if it breaks rules, well, report them. what 3-4 people say over a super megaphone doesn't represent the community as a whole

 

That IGN is fine smegaing these things because most people aren't that bothered by it. However, if you are bothered by it, why don't you just report him? Forgive me if I'm wrong but, it doesn't sound like you've tried reporting these people. If staff finds that what he does is truly offensive, then he'll either have to stop or end up perma-banned. In the end, you won't see his IGN anymore. Be the change that you seek. I don't understand why you think the current solution is inadequate.

 

This thread is such a mess lol

For starters, don't you think equating these smegas that "push their homosexuality" onto you to perversion and pedophilia is kind of, I don't know, bad? Sure there's a lot of stuff that goes over the radar and should be punished, but if your main argument against these concrete messages is that you don't like having gay stuff put under your nose then that's your own problem to figure, dude. And to clarify, im not siding with the people beating the "oversensitive" horse to dead. Also not good? Conflating fatness with being gross A lot of stuff that's considered normal isn't okay, but some people have trouble understanding that.

 

At first glance, I didn't understand what this thread was about. After reading all the replies I still don't understand what it's about.
It seems like everyone is taking their chance to laugh at, mess with or even harass OP for pointing out something that, in his opinion, was a negative experience he had playing the game.
Should I also take my chance to harass somebody then? It seems I have to, otherwise people will call be "abnormal" for not doing what everybody else does or having the same opinion with everyone else.

Dear fellow human being (I am assuming you are more than a pixel pastry here), please listen to your own words here. Need I say more?

Let's say somebody is being called terrible things by another Mapler. They might even tell him to kill himself. Say he would report them. Then staff decision is "we won't ban them because he just shouldn't have read their messages".
While my example is silly in a way, it illustrates how wrong your suggestion is.
I could rant about this. Yes in fact, I will. I will go so far as to say it's not even POSSIBLE to avoid reading certain things. Extravert brains register a certain amount of data. Introvert brains register a ton more. It's possible for humans to read over 1000 words per second and the brain registeres even more than this subconsciously. This means that a general sexual jargon will affect ALL players' subconscious no matter if they want to or not. Believe it or not - it's true nonetheless.

Even if all humans are quite similar at one level, we are all extremely different depending on culture, religion, age, gender and so on. What you think is normal in your culture or subculture might be totally abnormal in another.
We, the youth of today should be more culturally aware. I mean, we have the whole world in our pocket. The world "abnormal" should basically not exist in 2018.
What you were trying to say was "I don't agree with you". Why don't you phrase it like that, instead if directly insulting your fellow Mapler?

The last thing I want to say here is aimed at Staff.
I see some of you have read this thread. "As players" probably. Why don't you just close the thread? What good does it do to anyone? Who is helped by this ridiculous discussion/egg throwing?

This is honestly the most terrible read I've had ever on this forum. And then I'm also including all the trash I myself spread all over here.

EDIT: this thread is essentielly about moralism. People get offended when others "force" some moral on them. But without moral how can humans live together? Maybe we can live as individuals behind a screen, but as a community...? The question then is what is the right moral? This is a whole other topic though. I still think this thread should be closed.

 

we not talking about "potential to upset some1"..
we talking about use strong sexual language in public smega (IE: vulgar)..

and the argument of lose nearly all players in the server within a day for this act is ridiculous..
out of about 5,000 active players the server has (base on daily votes), the number of player who will brake this rule over 2 times (which the punishment is perma ban) is FAR less then 100 players..

trust me those who keep with this nasty behavior after a warring/3days ban then again 7 days ban and keep force it upon everyone else (public chat), better off banned and not part of this community.

 

tbh everyone in this thread taking an l

 

Taking what I said out of context doesn't help this situation, either. I was referring to this specific situation and what the original poster was complaining about. Turning off SMegas is quite easy.
If the messages were directly to someone who was offended by it and a report was made, or it was seen by a staff member, it would not be brushed off.
However things like this will be said in public and in private, both in this game and out of it. Learning to deal with it and blocking the negative things from your life is a much better use of energy than complaining in a public forum.

You can control no one's actions but your own.

And again, this is my personal opinion.

 

Smegas are a necessity for a good mapling experience. Degenerate smegas (no matter what sexuality you identify with) are not a necessity for a good mapling experience and are uncomfortable for anyone with above average moral standards.

So the solution is, deal with it? Are you kidding me? This is the OPPOSITE of "toughen up", it takes no strenght to ignore these things. It takes strength to ignore personal attacks which I've ignored plenty so far ever since starting this thread. In here, shoutbox and ingame. And no I will not report them because I don't need to. But this thread I do want to be taken more seriously because it affects everyone.

 

Excuse me, I did not intend to take your words out of context. I was also referring to this specific situation and what the original poster brought up. I would appreciate if you could point out to me what I misunderstood.

I do agree with your opinion about energy usage, but this gets very hypocritical as OP has received a whole lot of negative energy since the start of this thread. He doesn't seem at all affected by it. The others who reacted "negatively" on his "complaints" however, seems very touched. Based on the language used they absorbed a lot of negativity and failed to block it.

Is this really the community of MapleRoyals?

 

Maybe you should focus on your moral standards which better the world and the condition of its people, rather than fretting over vulgarity on the Internet.

 

holy shit

 

Posting as Staff

If you have a problem with what is smega'd, I'd suggest disabling smegas for a bit and if you're really put off, report it on the forum, and allow the staff to address it without making a whole thread about it please.

Edit:

I agree. But rather than closing, I'll just move it to a more...appropriate forum as the in game/normal staff stuff has been answered, and leave it to the other parts to be discussed.

Posting as a regular person, not staff because I feel I have to make that explicitely clear

It only comes off as forcing because of the suppression and taboo associated with people being gay. Please, don't associate people being goofs about sucking dicks in smega as pushing homosexuality on people... 99% of the time they (real people, not the smegas) are only seemingly "pushing it" on people because they're doing everyday normal things with someone they love (aka kissing their partner in a public place), and the other 1% of the time the "culture" if you will is doing it on their own terms in their own places and narrow-minded people get upset when they enter a place they probably shouldn't have if it's just going to upset them.

Dunno, just personal anecdotal experiences with the aforementioned "pushing" of homosexuality.

 

If you would have read the rest of my posts before replying you would see that this thread is not about homosexuality. Everyone clings to that one part where I said that and ignores everything else like I kicked a baby or something.

Why may I not make a thread about this? The comments here show that it's exactly what is needed because the staff doesn't address it. Muff pretty much said between the lines that it's something which is overlooked.

 

Your thread is saying royals smegas (as per your SS) is all about sucking dicks... which... it isn't, which is why people assumed you had a problem with the content (which, you kind of said you did later in the thread when you said "this isn't about homosexuality" then went to great lengths to talk about it)

I moved the thread because ultimately, if you have a problem with the smegas you should make a report abuse thread, the discussion otherwise is more appropriate here (here being the forum it's in now). If you'd like this thread closed, I can do that for you.

Also, I wouldn't say it's.... overlooked, but if no staff are in game to see stuff, they depend on people reporting it.

 

Fair enough, I think the thread has served it's purpose. I appreciate the chill demeanor.

 

LMAO @ the above average moral standards.

 

This thread is such a hilarious mess. Thank you very much, all of you.

 

It's just henehoes. I usually put the command ~setting megaphone disableall when that happens. Honestly, this happens in every server, just ignore.

Sure you can have fun, but remember there's other people present.
Me doing those smegas is like me talking loud in a bar. You could be loud with someone cause you're conversating but it taken too far if you keep it going for too long.

 

wasn't there an option to disable smegas?
