Its like 2025, the usual slurs have gotten more creative, and more prone to bypassing methods being made for em. Its gotta so bad as simple as typing "nga" is easy enough to slip through even something like Roblox kids are doing it. I think it would be best if some of y'all take a long look at how ABSURB the official Racial Slur Database has gotten to the point there is triple digit worth of the N for each race. I also think it is high time "tranny" or "trannies" is added to it since the TF2 playerbase has gained quite a sizeable amount of transitioning players and lots of people are just very aggressive to em for no rational reason to the point people are now getting stalked server to server and their profiles mimicked to cause drama over it.

not sure. gala, the wise old sage, said it's "fine as is" (the word "faggot" isn't even in the filter. lol. nice filter y'all mods got).

Yea it will work, and the suggestion is just cracking down on bypasses and banning new slurs via updating the filter and adding them to the ban list along with their known bypasses if they do it as intended from this suggestion


This will not change or damage Skial as a whole nor it won’t kill the US server like CT claims
 
I hope the words "fag", "tranny" and "troon" get added, but they probably won't, as skial's "margin of error" doesn't even include those words. We had to suggest to the wise mods that "faggot" should be in the auto-filter.

Hope so too, Skial has to be a safe space and update their filters to have a positive reputation and good morals for their community to be popular!

Lowering its filters and making players free to say slurs however they want will just kill it faster!

I've only seen Skial's population go down ever since it was decided to be more important to appease a bunch of redditors.

If certain people are leaving skial because they can't be openly bigoted, let them leave. It's that simple. You are so fucking dumb, bruh. Go back to your private server with TSP where y'all complain about trans people, jews and syrian refugees.

Hmm, yea sure buddy!


I’ve also seen games and their moderation servers still maintain a popular player base even with a regulated moderation that prohibits slurs and cracks down on bypasses and there were other major factors for Skial’s fall besides that such as:

ProKid scandals

The Respawn Coin/People Abusing Glitches in DR Scenarios

Map Quality(The Early Version of Skibidi Toilet being added would be a great example)

TF2 Community servers just dying since Casual is just now popular


Them prohibiting slurs and muting people for saying such slurs is a not one of the main reasons why Skial is falling down

You are right that there have been other goings-on which have negatively impacted Skial but this is still another factor. I can go on casual and say pretty much anything. Why would anyone choose to come on Skial if they are required to behave like 12-year-olds?

People at 18 would be mature and would follow policies and rules from the server. Being bigoted or saying fucked things and never learning and repeating them again despite previous warns is something i expect from a 12 year old!


Also Casual being more popular than Community Ssrvers has to do with the major content and fun game modes, and also bottiger had gave key details why Casual is getting more in this thread: https://www.skial.com/threads/frequently-denied-suggestions-read-this-first.16268/

It's not the only reason but it's absolutely a factor. You don't have to worry about getting muted by a janitor with nothing better to do on casual for saying Bad Words™ even when it's only in jest.
 
true but let's not forget 111112oo liked lolis at that point
To mention that I'm not siding anyone. I don't really care what people say about things in Internet. I find people who likes lolis disgusting so this is why I pointed this guy out. Even what TSP said wasn't right, but no one is right if you look into them.

I'd like to say that you guys should calm down, have a mature conversation, and think of a solution. However, considering that no one will agree on something this is why It's difficult and I believe it's entirely up to bottiger's decision.

edit: (I'm saying so you guys can go outside and think of something joyous and happy instead of arguing with someone that they won't change their own mind :P)

I am also trying my best despite my very serious hatred on CT to atleast have a reasonable debate without flaming others!

Thank you for your feedback though, i do appreciate it!

Ok, first off in reasonable mannors what if a fucked person tries to bully a person in minority group by saying slurs to discriminate them or says fucked shit in the chat that alot of people(Unless if they’re from DE) wouldn’t take too kindly or let them get away with it! However if the moderation does nothing against fucked views being spread in the server, those same people saying the same shit will get no consequences and it may cause people in minority groups to leave the server due to bad actors saying fucked shit in the chat and nothing is stopping and start go to other servers

Example of what could happen if Skial dosen’t crack down on bypasses or lowers their levels too much: Fucked People talking about hating gays or whatever and spread their bullshit to discriminate a group. However the filter will do nothing against the other ones or bypasses due to it being so outdated that fucked people could say “Ha ha those *slur bypasses* are having a lemonade stand instead of an orange juice stand lol” which just causes people getting offended to leave to report it to the admins, it also saves time for the admins to add the words to the fitler so they don’t have to deal with the problem themselves unless if they start bypassing the fitler again!

It is not “over policing” to crack down on bypasses and adding slurs to ban to the fitler. Also, the admins will ban people for saying them anyway if reported on the forums

Also saying “oh admins/ the janitors have nothing to better to do in their lifes than report and ban” is just so absurd and outrageous as these people do have a life outside moderating and they’re just trying to do their jobs. Some might not be the best examples, but most are just trying to do their jobs!

Sure maybe being too strict is bad, but lowering it down to the point of “the golden age were people can freely say the n word” will just kill it faster and does it more harm than good! Especially with the 2025 year being more aware and calling out bad actors and bigotry!

That’s unauthorized disclosure of private facts. Don’t do that. It’s unethical and disgusting behavior.

My parents were an interracial couple and so are my wife and I. I am a proudly in an interracial relationship and speak openly about my experience as a reformed racist. Yet I still believe “leaking DMs” is unethical and depending on jurisdiction may be illegal.

lucas, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be lectured on "unethical behavior". You look at ordinary stuff through the lens of a lawyer way too often, which, to an extent, I understand, but it's ridiculous in cases like these. 1. CT does not have the money to get a lawyer to go after me. 2. No lawyer in their right mind would take his case, and 3. Even if he could afford the lawyer, he would be admitting to the whole world he thinks the earth is flat and that mixed relationships are bad.
