Kicking with no warning at all, is a bit extreme... i'll give you that.

However you need to understand where the average server admin is coming from when he sets his/her rules for said server.

I'll give you the example of [DSB]

We take pains in setting up our servers. We take the time to set up a clan website to get members, then when we have enough we raise funds for a hosted server, which we spend much time setting up just right for low ping/lag. Our players decide on basic rules for this server and then open it up to the public. After much time and hard work we get a loyal base of regulars that call this server home.

Now i ask you. When a player comes in and uses language thats deemed offensive to our set of rules... what would you have us do?

A: Allow this to continue , and upset our our player base of regulars?

-Or-

B: a single warning and the boot.?

Before you answer, lets multiply this problem. Lets add the fact that we have 3 Mohaa servers, 2 Counter Strike Servers, 1 RTCW, and 1 BF1942 Server that has the same type of problems with foul mouthed players.

I'm not saying we don't want people to have fun or yell out when they get fragged or if they have a good shot. But lets be honest here. Almost everytime you leave the language door wide open you get nothing but flamming gutter mouthed spamming.

99% of the time if a player is cursing it's only to belittle another player. It takes effort to type the messege and put forth the insult, and that means its never an accident. If you can't function on a server or play the game without cursing, then its a fault in yourself not the server admin.
