Guys I'm not sure if this has already been said because I'm too lazy to read all the comments but during Dave's livestream the other day someone brought this up and this was Dave's response.
"It has never been against our rules and never will be. If players can say it, why not staff were no different."

Double standards though -_-

I'm assuming that you're saying this because of how I quoted "If players can say it, why not staff were no different."
Yes the staff have higher standards but it isn't against the rules so staff can say it, but it might not make them look that good.

Your assumption is wrong

Can you explain "Double standards though -_-" for me than please.

Brace yourselves for a huuuuuuuugeeee rant
I apologize in advance for the things you may read. I tried to keep it relatively tame, although it's something that I've tried making a video on like three times in the past two days, and it hasn't worked out, so I'm just going to make a thread on it. But keep in mind, the video was a lot more.. emphatic.
Keep in mind that I've never been a super good thread-poster.

Hello,
If you play MCSG, as the majority of us do (lol, except me), then you know that terms such as "Get Good", "Rekt", "eZ", and other terms are quite common on the MCG servers, particularly Survival Games-styled gamemodes (SG, QQ, SGC.)
For a while now, they've gone unpunished, as far as I know. I've never even heard of people being warned for this.
Why? Why have they gone unpunished, and not dealt with in any way? Sure, someone may have tried to a few times, but as far as I know, nothing major came of it.

However, I was going through the MCSG rules a few weeks ago, and read this:
(Link: http://gyazo.com/f1e202206443445ed56cb570c3d83ae7)

Okay, let's start with Rule #2.
"We want people in our community to feel safe and respected."
Hmm, let me think of ways that people are not safe or respected... oh wait, I already have a list.

• DDoSing and DoSing. It happens all the time in the clan scene, and yet it's never been punished. Why? Is it because it's not proven or anything...? Like seriously, get some proof, do some investigating.
• "eZ" "Rekt" - Yeah, uh... Do you really think being told they're "eZ" to kill makes people feel respected? Hah, no. Not at all. Why isn't this punishable? There are KIDS on this game!

"Harassment is taken very seriously" and "You may risk being permanently removed from our community".... yeah.. that's only in super extreme cases. What about these things? By picking apart the rule, I came to the conclusion that harassment is a permanent ban, and yet people aren't even warned for these things. Yo, MCGamer! Step up your game!
"Spreading rumors is not allowed" Okay... uh.......... Let's take a moment to think about some rumors that have been circulated in the past... I would mention specifics, but then I could be accused of spreading them even further, so unfortunately I can't. But I'm sure a lot of you know what some are.
"Stalking a player around the servers and constantly targeting them is considered harassment" Uhm, HugBabybear? Hello? I was in a stream run by DoUEvenShift, and Hug and like five of her friends watched the stream and targeted him. We called in a Moderator, and they said it WASN'T harassment. What the fluff? Hug's excuses were like "oh, we happened to be in the same server at the time" and "We're allowed to watch the stream and follow the streamer" Well... not if you're targeting him...FOR LIKE TWO HOURS. Remember the rule that says that harassment can merit a permanent removal, and that targeting is harassment? OK? OK.

Rule #3:
"Keep the chat PG" This does NOT mean PG-13. Yes there may be a swear filter, but be creative! Take into account slang, don't follow a tiny list of like 20 words, staff members! If someone is creatively insulting someone by calling them a yellow-bellied whale-sized pig with an acorn for brains, I'm 99% sure that isn't allowed.
Also, phrases like "WTF" and "Goddammit". WTF = What the f***. "God damn it/Goddammit" applies to like rule #4 as well, I believe... censor maybe?

Edit: They'll probably see this eventually, but Col_StaR and CAm

No ones every been reported for DDoSing because it's impossible to find out who it really is. To catch the IP of a DDoSer you have to check to logs on your router's settings online. The IP's you find are usually the IP's of bots, or people who's computers have been hijacked and turned into weapons. So by reporting those IP's to MCGamer or even the POLICE, you're probably just banning some old guys Windows XP computer.

I could not agree more, like I do not understand why people take the time to write those things in the chat for no reason, other then to make someone feel like crap, it is a form of bullying, and MCSG as I can tell is quite against bullying, there should be a rule inforced about saying things like "gg 10, eZ, rekt" obviously no one likes it, and making a rule for it will do nothing but make the community stronger, so why deny it?
