[lg policy] Language Policy of Baptized by Fire

[Harold Schiffman]

The same policies go for all games of BBF and while in Team Speak just be
cautious about who you are speaking with when others are around!

Language Policy

Members are to conduct themselves maturely and follow the General Orders.
NO harassment, disrespect or inappropriate language when communicating with
BBF members or other gamers. This means you should treat BBF members and
other gamers with respect at all times! This includes in game chat, Instant
Messaging, Email, Forums, Xbox Live, etc.
Abuse must be reported to your GC, if the GC is not available follow the
chain of command.
Approved BBF Tags ([R] or [BBF]) MUST be displayed if possible..
Additional rules may be specified by the GC or above, and will be listed on
the forum, in game, or chat channel, etc.


Guys as you might have noticed, we have really started hammering down on
the cussing and cursing that is going on in a regular basis.
I have talked to most people about this and it is so crucial that we are
careful when we are talking or typing!

You all have to be careful and a little more thoughtful. Because everyone
might be 18 or older at some stage, but some of these guys have kids of
ages 2 - 5 years old and a lot of the time they can hear the stuff that
goes on and that is NOT acceptable.

If I get any more complaints or catch out members doing wrong by BBF's
rules, as a recruit you can be denied entry to BBF. If recruits can't abide
by our rules and learn to be respectful, then that's a sign that the
recruit at question is not BBF material.

Everyone needs to start putting way more consideration into your choice of
words. We understand things can slip or come out a different way to what
you meant it to be.. It is when these things get excessive or when
disrespect is intended purposely.

Thanks Smiles for your wonderful thread!
