I don't want to sound toxic towards you. I'm saying it politely.

Being toxic isn't a good idea for the server's growth. You think that as long as the server is not killed, it's okay to be toxic. But do you know how first impression of a company (or server in this case) is very essential/crucial?

Big companies do not allow toxicity in their staff system. And if a customer/consumer is being toxic (an uneducated person swearing in this example), he is not tolerated and gets warned or punished depending on what he said.

Big companies like Amazon, Rockstar does buy WinRAR's license PER computer, you know why? Because if they use an unlicenced version of a software, it ruins the image of the whole company.

You want to see some examples? Check on YT and search for small channels making their showreel or trying their best to make their content as professional as a successful YT channel. As a small channel. Some people comments, likes and even subscribes to the channel for being great as a small channel.

If you can make yourself to look good at the first chance, you get a chance to grow. If you don't make yourself good but you're highly talented, you're gonna have a huge pain to find your first opportunity to grow.

This is what happens as a small creator or a freelancer. You need to be 'good' in your first. And if you can prove that you are professional later, you'll get more benefits.

Take it or leave it, it's my opinion which is always useless.

are you hearing yourself?

all that said and idunno how that translates to a samp server, im saying staff should clarify whats allowed and whats disallowed rather than just saying "if its used excessively you will be punished" MEANWHILE people are getting punished/warned for saying it even once
if youre gonna punish/warn someone for saying it only once then just outright disallow it completely
samp servers in general are dying because there is no growth, there is no discoverability anymore on the client and people who play eventually get better pcs or find other games and move on from the servers

Well, what you said is true. It should either be allowed or disallowed but not stay in the middle...

AFAIK warnings are not disciplinary actions and don't stay on record unlike infractions, they're just official directions from staff on what behavior to avoid. As for punishment, yeah that on first use does sound harsh. In either case, this comes down to internal policy on how rule violations are handled, but the word should still be prohibited in any case. There's just no reason to use it specifically except for viciousness. English has enough pejorative terms for someone you want to call unintelligent that don't target people with mental disabilities.

Just completely disallow the word and everything should be fine. Unless the server loves toxicity in 2025 too.

Fuck you mean? How old are you bro 13?
Toxicity,insults and fights are happening all the time on internet if you are so sensitive turn off your wifi. Learn to take insults it will help you get better irl and this isn't real world. Most of the people forget whom they insulted 5 minutes ago in an online game.
Use of the word 'retard' is fine as far as it is used a certain number of times in an argument and most of the time we just call out friends retard as a gesture of being close friends and no matter what we say they won't get affected by it.

It's fine the way it is.
