Yeah, Jorgen, I was talking about Finnie with the language barrier to begin with, not you. I can usually understand what you say flawlessly, given I might have to re-read once or twice. Speech impediments are irrelevant since I'm strictly referring to forum discussion/text. Foreign people post in English as much as they understand it, sometimes not using words correctly, making things confusing, if they do it too much. All I really ask for from them(and everyone really) is to double check your posts before you hit Post. You have the gift of time, on a forum, and have more time to think + edit your post. You can't do that in vent or on a server, usually you say what comes to mind, where on a forum you get to make sure it's a worthwhile post, etc. Which is probably why I sound like a pretentious asshole half the time. I'm not saying it should be a rule, but if it's common for you to make mistakes, for whatever reason, proofread a little here and there. I understand not everyone will have Author level english/writing skills, some people weren't exposed to the right amount of reading, or weren't on the computer at a young age as I was, took a keyboarding class, writes a lot, etc. Whatever. There are different factors in everyone's life that build up certain skills, some people are "intelligent/wise" but appear as if they were mentally handicapped sometimes. (Inject) It works the other way around too, sometimes. Anyway, I don't believe having fluent english skills means your intelligent or anything like that, I just prefer being able to fully understand things, because I can't ask what you mean, any time an errors made. It's really not THAT big of a deal, this whole discussion just got blown a little out of proportion, I think.
Kids= Less mature by nature.... Tend to annoy mass player bases more then other people. The admin has to keep the mass player base happy or the server fails. So yeah we should mute them if annoying but not jujst because there a kid. I say only mute if a mass player base desires it.
Completely agreeable. That should be the standard for all players. The only thing I DESPISE, is the SECOND a kid starts talking, everyone begs for a mute. What the fuck is that? Half the time the kid rarely speaks, or there's almost nothing wrong with his voice and every time he speaks people ridicule him and scream at him to shut up. If I saw that shit, I would mute the bullies being assholes, and maybe the kid too. Only problem with that, is sometimes muting people results in an instant disconnect, which I try to avoid causing at all costs, unless completely necessary. Though if the entire server was begging for a mute, even if the kid wasn't doing anything wrong at all, or against the rules, I would probably mute him, then ask the server what the fuck their problem is, and probably end up having a similar debate. Sometimes the kids are dedicated players, and things like that can shy them away forever. Sure you guys probably don't care, but I just think you'd be more focused on keeping the assholes and the trolls out, and I'd say like.. 7 times out of ten, those types are the ones to start shit with kids.
Anyway, feel free to move this to the debate section. I really just wanna talk about minecraft now, we could lock this / move this, since this is about the pre-release technically. I have my thread about the release open, we could just continue 1.8 discussion there?
