Re: Add rape to the hard word filter



if we put every word we don't like to see onto a hard filter, we're not going to be able to filter the people who would unabashedly use those words out as effectively.

This frames moderation as a kind of morality test: that we need to "catch" people saying bad things to reveal their essential ...

The main reasoning behind the ban is that we thought that you going so far out of the way to kill Ratman jones was a case of Validhunting. the precedent 1 of RPR 4 reads:

Re: remove the assistant cap

i don't mind the cap and think there's been some benefits to it, but if it were up to me i'd have it scale according to pop - 5 assistants per 25-30 players seems fair imo.
