We have soo many butthurt children on these forums who cant take criticism. They complain about everything and are immature about it as well. The moderators here are just as bad. Give out infractions for cussing. The internet is not a place for children people. Why the hell do you think the ESRB put N/A rattings on Online content? The same goes for Minecraft. No one can filter online gameplay and if someone tried for a game like this, there would be an uproar over it. So why do it on the forums? If you really wanna make a game or forums for children, you cannot make children and teens/adults be in the same area. Children just are not meant to play with adults in this fashion and the same goes with forums like these. They cant handle the content in which teens and adults communicate. There needs to be a section for children discussion/chat where there is hard rules and whenever its outside that section of the forums the rules are not as strict. I am one who is against censorship on the internet outside of the childrens section and last I heard, Minecraft is not a game that was meant for children. These forums sure as hell are not meant for children. If you wanna censor my criticism or any material i post then you better be sure as hell ready to delete all the content that is pg13 and up on these forums and i know it exists here too through all the mods, texture packs, etc.

Most of the game's consumers are children under 13. Because of this, this has to be a family friendly forum. Also, cursing has been in the rules for months now.
The moderators here are just as bad. Give out infractions for cussing. Blah Blah Blah
Use Profanity
As a family friendly forum we censor all profanity, however the censor is not an excuse to still swear; all posts that contain any instance of profanity will be removed. This includes abbreviated curse words, profanity within acronyms, and profanity within pictures. Self-censoring is also not allowed.
No one can filter online gameplay and if someone tried for a game like this, there would be an uproar over it. So why do it on the forums?
uhh because we can?
Minecraft is not a game that was meant for children
There needs to be a stickied thread on why the forum prevents profanity on this forum, just so we can link it in threads like these and we can be done with them.
Depends on what you call criticism. Actual criticism = okay. Your idea sucks posts = no, not okay.
I dont make those posts. I got an infraction for just criticism and making my point. Im thinking its a moderator who doesnt know how to properly tell the difference

You can always ask for a Forum Admin to appeal the infraction if you believe it was wrongly given.
Last time I checked the moderators don't have templates for sending out infractions for constructive criticism. Re-read the warning PM to make sure you weren't infracted for something else in the post that by chance also contained said constructive criticism. If you didn't, then invite the section's Forum Administrator to the PM and ask for an appeal.
I checked and the infraction was for calling someone stupid. The only word was stupid. Thats pretty sad. I wonder if half of this forum even knows what a critic really is. Someone who judges something to every little detail and finds all the bad points of it expressing their findings without holding back. The moderators say they accept critics here but do they actually understand the entire aspect of it?? I think not. People need harsh criticism otherwise they will end up being soft and weak. Someone who doesnt know how to accept criticism will just end up being a loser in life.

(I also find it funny that you say "Someone who doesnt know how to accept criticism will just end up being a loser in life", yet here you are not accepting the criticism for your idea...)

I accept my own criticism yes and others criticism as well. However I do not let go my point when i know i am right. But in this case im not really caring about my idea. My idea was a part of a point i was making. I know that this forum will never make a childrens section. Pretty sure of that. If i wanted to give a suggestion i could do a hell of alot better. My point is about how i criticize and how the littlest things get this attention. Calling someone stupid. Its nothing but someones oppinion until proven fact. Saying that you think someone is stupid for something they say is not bad. If they wanna take offence to it then thats their problem. But without others opinions, no one would better themselfs, am i correct?
I've complied with your demands. You can find the forums for children here: Click here
I highly doubt it could exist without revising the rules and making some changes. If you really wanna make this forum a kid friendly place then you would have to basically form a tyranny and get rid of all the adults/teens. Like I said before, the internet is not a place for children whatsoever. Its a place of many bad examples for childhood development. I can garantee you that no matter what a parent does, the internet is not a safe place for a young child. No child lock nor internet block can fix that. I take it any word not blocked on here is not against the rules in general. Words like *****, crap, etc are not blocked by the filter so i take it they are not redeemed "bad" by society or at least whatever country/religion the moderators of this forum come from. I hate the idea of censorship on the internet personally but still im not one who is against rules. I just find a rule of calling someone stupid, well stupid in itself. Not like i trolled the guy or anything. No all I did was say "your stupid if you believe this". Didnt know this was against a rule or bad in any way.

Or the adults/teens could actually act mature and not have to use profanity and other senseless things in everything they post like the adults they all are!

Well for one we do act mature and I do as well. I maturely called someone stupid and not in the sense trolls/flamers do. Now the conversation was mature going back and forth as such a normal argument should. Now who is immature? The 2 people having an argument or the moderator who puts infractions for calling someone stupid? Sounds pretty dumb huh? My philosophy is "Dont be a ***** and just man up". If your moderator thought the argument was getting out of hand then they should of locked the thread or deleted the posts and given such warning. But the person just went to extremes and gave out infractions which lead to this topic. If you want to review it yourself, feel free to talk to Kokkuri who was the person who handed out infractions. The argument was about if a 3ds could handle minecraft and neither of us was in the wrong. I believe the moderator took the wrong actions for something soo minor and if you guys really want this to be that kid friendly as to where you cant state an opinion about calling someone stupid then maybe you should revise how these forums work.

So you are upset that you broke the rules, and got an infraction for breaking said rules?

If you feel you need to express your opinion, you can do so without flat-out insulting the other users, which would be the mature way to handle it, rather than just calling them stupid.

So tell me what the definition of stupid is. Is it an insult if the person really is stupid? No this topic is not meant for you. I will continue my discussion with the moderators/administration. Goodday.
So let me get this straight: You broke a rule and clearly insulted the other party and are angry about it? The topic was not what you were infracted before but rather the insults you decided to throw into it while responding to the other party.
Do not:
Flame or Provoke
Do not insult or flame other members of the forum. Similarly, do not post with the intention of provoking a reaction from fellow members. This includes encouraging flame wars. Instigation is not tolerated.

The definition does not matter, the point is you were insulting another user, which is against the rules, under "flaming" or possibly "trolling" or "flamebaiting", depending on the context of the post.
It's against the rules and that is that. Everyone has to follow the same rules, and if they are broken you get an infraction.

It's rated E10+
Maybe you should read THE RULES before posting anything.

Excuse me but its your job to follow your own rules. If you do not follow the rules then dont expect anyone else to either.

You don't think that Staff of MCF would not follow their own rules? We have to, or we face the wraith of the Forum Admins.

Yes, we accept critics here as long as they follow the forum rules
(hint: you can't call people stupid)
