The leaders recently decided to ban the word "nigger" from clan chat (and following that I banned it on discord since it's a clan-endorsed discord) I banned it without giving much reason cause I figured it wouldn't be the most questioned thing but it's getting some backlash so I'll go into it.
The word was previously "banned" because people just sorta agreed to not say it and it slipped occasionally. And then discord came out and on voice chat people throw the word like every other 4 words which is fine cause nobody on discord at the time was really offended by it anyway.
But the reason it was banned is because when you start to use the word regularly, or even if you don't use it, if you start to hear it regularly you kinda get desensitized to it and it becomes a very regular thing. Like since discord voice chat started popping, nigger got thrown around so much that it slowly crept back into the cc when many cc members didn't like it and caused more bullshit problems and whatever.
Also, just because currently nobody in the discord is offended by the word, doesn't mean nobody who is offended by the word won't eventually join the discord. I don't want somebody to first time join the discord and just see like 8 people all screaming the word and be put off by the cc.
In the end the leaders are the leaders so if you disagree get fucking rekt but in all seriousness, any discussion on the topic is open and welcome.

I agree, it got pretty bad. I say it casually now. Good new rule.

My thoughts, appropriately banned from use in cc in game, I think you should maybe add a channel on discord thats like NSFW or something along those lines for people who want to use explicit language. Thoughts?

Okay, what is the total overall pros and cons of joining Dice or whatever?

The pros are that they would do giveaways, host ts, or something
Cons are that we would lose in game ranks ( they offered teamspeak ranks instead) and probably lose a lot of control over how the in game chat runs. And swapping mods, etc, things like that, I dunno, I don't know how swapipng cc's run, we'd have to deal with that stuff
