Future of FL

[Pollux]

If the update isn't reverting racism and other offensive language to be allowed on the server I don't see the point carrying on you may as well shut this place down.

I think we need to be honest of what kind of player base we are catering to;

Garry´s Mod is mainly compromised of 14 - 30 year old guys. I have never encountered a game with more hostility and insults in my life.

Allowing most toxicity would probably benefit the playercount short and long-term.

The current racism and toxicity rule is one of the few things we refuse to compromise on. I honestly wouldn't revert the rule even if it would give us a full server. I don't care about just filling a server up, I care about the quality of what actually goes on within it and everyone there having a fun time. I'd rather have fewer players who actually care than a full server that doesn't, as the latter isn't sustainable. FL is meant to be a fun environment for all, not just fun for a few at the expense of others. It's so easy for many of us who've never really experienced racism or harrassment to write it off as it just being the internet, but having spoken to people on the receiving end it's regretful that we ever allowed it. It's a shame that we were genuinely an influence in so many younger players thinking that type of behaviour is acceptable, and I can say we're 100% never going to consider removing the rule.

Lets move on from our racism and toxicity rule, it's really not that hard to follow.
