Dick isn't a very uncommon name.  What if my name was Dick?  I was playing on a server lastnight (can't remember which one) that warned me for saying the word "Dick".   This is where I draw the line.  In BF2 I can sneak up behind someone, slit their throat with my knife and watch them die......but I can't say dick?????  I would be offended if my own name was flagged on a server as "inappropriate". 

It's total bullshit.  Cry baby admins need to realize the game is rated T for teen.  That means nobody under 13 should be playing the game.   If parents are irresponsible and let their kids play, that their problem.  There is lots of swearing in PG-13 movies.  So why not BF2?   This is war boys, there is swearing in war.  Anyone ever seen Saving Private or Band of Brothers?  I realize these flicks aren't PG-13 but they are true depictions of war, thus, swearing.

I realize similar threads have been posted, but I thought this situation was over the top.

Anyone agree?

its rated M which is supposed to be teen 15+

punkbuster should be removed its fully ghay and ruins the atmosphere of games like some other guy said before they are trying to create a clean atmosphere for every1...OMFG!!!!!

the game is based on COMBAT in TOUGH MILITARY ZONES

the right atmosphere would be like if someone just misses you with a 50 cal your model guy should say like OMG HOLY FUKIN SHIT!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!

and like guy who are wounded by a 50 cal sniper rifle say i need a medic but in real life they would be swearin and screamin out for help while trying to drag their sorry wounded carcass outa the firing line

i've been to a lot of servers that have their language settings so strict that when you type out "damn, i'm sorry" it warns you.  if you play as a USMC squad leader and use the voice command to say "sorry," it says plain as day "Damn, Sorry."

w.t.f.

Exactly. It's ridiculous to forbid a word which has been integrated by the programmers. And if you use the voice command, you even SEE the word "damn" in the chat...there should be admins for server-admins.

"sneak up behind some one and slit there throat" lol i wish but all it is, is a stab.

Well to be honest Dick is a retarded name if i had the name i'd legally get it changed but its a offensive word and hardly ANY people have the name DICK so you cant really argue.

I guess when i have kids i call my daughter Cunt and son Balls.

What is the first thing, blowing someones head off?  Much more kind and gentle is pretending to blow someones head off instead of swearing.

lol pwned, but i agree w/ the admin guy, but admins should be on the server at ALL times when server is operating coz they can see if the person was bitching or not.

The sad thing is that the shortened form of Richard, Dick was adopted as slang for the male genitalia due to dick being a common name for males, as the male discription of a fowl, cock has.  In the end they are just words.  If I told you all that the word "gonga" was slang for vagina in Australia, and then called you one would you be offended?  I have read somewhere (but do not know if it is true, perhaps someone can enlighten me?) that fuck is an abreviation for Fornicating Under the Consent of King, which dated back to mediaval times, with people starving etc, you could not procreate without permision.  So when someone says to me "You Fuck!", I think that it's cool that the king of some country or place has givern me licence to "Get it on".  Makes it easy with missus, "We have to tonight dear, even if you have a headache. I was told today the King has ordered it!"  I actuauly wonder where and how did all these swear or offensive words originate.  Words like sh*t, T*rd, the big C word that women hate, where do they come from? If I rembember right the term "curse word" or cursing when using such word comes from the old belief you would be cursed if you said SHIT.  While I am here my BF2 buddies in the US may be able to help me.  I was told the word CRAP comes from the name John Crapper who invented the first flushing toilet.  Is this a load of Crap?

Any time to go, I'll check back on you gonga's later

I hope your last name i'snt Face?  I knew a bloke who's surname was "Slot".  He had a daughter I told him he should call her Ophelia.  He asked why.  I told him that "Ophiela Slot" had a nice ring to it.  He didn't get the joke, and I let it slide, but thankfully he didn't name her Ophelia.  I pondered his complete miss on the name I suggested when his daughter was about 4 and he got her a pet rabbit.  I told him, you should call the rabbit Stewart.  His missed that one too and the rabbit was duly dubbed "Stew".  I still piss myself laughing remebering him calling his pet rabbit from the back porch....he wondered why it never came, was it just a plain old dumb rabbit with no concept of name, like a dog has, or a really smart one with good comprehension of English?

lol alot of people have wierd names like this kid in my building his name is Pablo come on Pablo? that kid is so screwed for the rest of his life


and about the swearing on servers yes its gay and retarded specially the admins that kick you for it and i agree you're playing a game where both people are fighting each other killing each other stabbing each other with knives being shot at being blown up by grenades and c4 being run over with vechiles tanks being blown up and shot by apcs and tanks and being blown up by helicopters and jets and murdering each other but magicly you cant say any swear word haha.

Whats more funny is when you go on a server "This is a family server no swearing!"

Oh thats right this is a family server a warm family that are murdering and killing each other but please no swearing!

haha thats just like american mentality they dont mind if you play violent video games with blood and guts murdering people but if theres swearing or even one drop of nudity oh no lets all freak out.

just adding to my earlier post that you often find profanities come when trying to degrade another player, but ppl have to remember that these ppl have bought the game also even though  they probably need to taken round the back and given a good ass whooping, and like some of the other players have posted on the forums that this is meant to be a 15+ game so you have got to have some leeway on what can be typed in the txt, for example when a learner drives over your mines or a learner walks straight infront of you tank, if an admins on the server bitch to them first, let them acknowledge the fact and wait for that particular learner to be kicked:0). But i do know what you guys are saying i have been kicked of a server for saying " hell yeah"

I think it's stupid that i was TK'ed 3 times on purpose by the same dude and nothing happens to him, but when i call him an asshole i get booted off the server. im 25 years old, if i want to fucking sware i can fucking sware god dammit. ive heard my parents saying these words all my life, it doesn't bother me if some kid wants to say shit in the game im playing.

Well then don't call yourself by the name Dick.  Call yourself by the name Richard, since that's where dick comes from. duh!

I thought dick wasn't used as a proper name, but simply a nickname? Everyone who've been called that nickname that i've known's real name is richard. Richard - Rick - Dick.

When I see someone type "fuck" or "shit", I don't think of sex or waste prducts, not at all.  I know that someone is or was pissed at something.  But if someone says "dick", what else would they mean?  "Oh, I'm feeling pretty dicky today" or "Hey tard, that was a pretty dickish thing to do."  If someone were to say "dick", they meant "a male organ", not "I don't feel good."

Dick is a nickname for Richard.  But I've never seen anyone, in BF2, use it in reference to a name.  Hence, it's ussually a banned word.
