Re: Add rape to the hard word filter

The classical n bomb and some common variants should be/hopefully are hard filtered.

Only a small handful of people can see the word filter these days because it's locked behind top level ops access now and even headmins need to ask someone else to see a copy of it or change it.

Re: Add rape to the hard word filter

Not only is it already filtered, it was filtered many moons ago under MSO's former reign.

He ran the stats on the word's usage on Terry and discovered that was a rounding-error-to-0% """correct""" usage of the word and that basically every instance was OOC in IC. As a result, it was added to the ...

Re: remove the assistant cap

I think part of the reason we're perceived as losing more of our pop, is because we're chasing pop. For the past 5+ years I've been here, we haven't been about chasing pop. We've instead carved our niche and players came here because we offered the best SS13 regardless of pop. The best events, the ...

As an aside, the Manuel pop cap wasn't removed by the headmins. It was removed by the ops team due to losing the old Manuel configs.
