New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

[Ythan]

I hear it's censored in which case I'm not sure it counts as baiting.

Fair. Still trying to err on the side of "let's not get people with half a sense of ethics banned accidentally" but yeah

Agreed just trying to vouch for Ari in case it were to become a thing.

[Haschel Cedricson]

Ari, don't get banned. I know what you are going for, but I am pretty sure the mod team has a policy against baiting people into bannable offenses. and sayign the N word would absolutely be one.

There are other ways to teach him. If that's your thing.

It's impossible for anyone to use that word; it gets filtered to [removed] (sic). I discovered that while trying to c/p a quote from a 60s Civil Rights activist into the USpol thread.

[Kmd4390]

For the Dark Ages theme game can't you just use exiled instead?

[Ythan]

That's why

"Fag"

and "lynch" and many others are not appropriate in our current society.

There are some situations the former word can be used as long the context it is being used is clear. The latter involves a group of people, or mob, targeting and killing a specific person, with no further direct connotations.

If you're looking for "legitimate" excuses to use that kind of language then consider turning 18.

If anyone actually used the word, they were just waiting for an excuse. It's not on Ari.

I do want to note that it is extremely amusing to me how many people who are really bent out of shape about this are also people with join dates within the past, like, 2 years.

I'm very glad that we've established that we can also use homophobic slurs when it's practical.

If MafiaScum was ruled by 1 Pure Deity Individual such as myself.
Lynch - Gone
votato - Gone
us politics thread - Gone
Mafia - Gone
People giving 0s to epb in SUPP - Gone

It’d be so peaceful.

HOLY SHIT WHAT

ARE YOU ACTUALLY SAYING LYNCH HAS NO SOCIAL CONNOTATIONS?

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING

[Umlaut]

Creature, I wonder if you know what 'connotation' means, or possibly if you think words have intrinsic connotations as opposed to consensus ones. People are saying right in this thread that the word does have that connotation for them.

[Davsto]

i tried parodying the second half of the post but how can one parody something that never made sense

Part of me thinks we should stop using scum too. I've had the same experience boon described but with that word too. I don't usually use it when talking about mafia with non mafia players

why couldn't the thread be "so we're filtering the word lynch to eliminate"

I'm not trying to need to use that word, but if I ever find it useable, I'd rather be judged by the context of the sentence/paragraph I used it than the word itself.

[Alisae]

Mafia - Gone

time to rename the website

Because the mods decided to NOT be draconian and allow users to migrate slowly.

But I non-ironically support auto filter being set up exactly as you just described.

Not in the dictionary.

[TrueSoulEnergy]

Lol on another site a recommendation is “Cuddle”
NGL that'd be funny.

/Cuddle TSE

If we also ban scum, we can just be .net

[TrueSoulEnergy]

It would look like this.


TSE was the decided Cuddle!
He was Majority Cuddled and now He gives up and reveals his Rolecard.

Lololololololil.
I wouldn’t mind joining a game with this it’d be funny AF!

Well, good thing the world and all conversations take place in the dictionary. I mean, that noose in Bubba Wallace's garage, nothing to do with the fact that he's black. It's not in the dictionary.

A true insight into how society works from Creature.

DGB has been pushing for YEARS to remove the word scum from the lexicon and actually modded a game where its use wasn't allowed

That's why you judge the context and not the word.
