This was said in another thread in different wording:
The community was smaller back then. Let's say the ration of good to bad pirates was 5:1. There were less people over all, so there would be less rude people, and you would be less likely to encounter them. Now, since the game has grown, that ratio has probably gotten bigger too, perhaps its 15:5. More people have joined the game, meaning more people that are rude have joined, so there are simply just a larger portion of rude people.
(Now this is my message) Also, people probably think that just because they are anonymous, they can do whatever the blazes they please. I'm not gonna lecture, because you've all heard it, but they just think its funny to harass others when they know they won't get more than a ban. There is really nothing that POTCO can do to help rude people. Just have that report button there so that they can (hopefully) get that ban they deserve. And maybe they should make it so that if you are permabanned on POTCO, no new accounts can be made coming from that IP address.
As for Noob being filtered... lets not. Honestly, its a pretty lame insult. I don't think that I've ever called someone a noob in the recent past as an insult. Its actually kinda funny when they say it. Its like back in Elementary School when someone called you stupid. They would just use that insult because it was mean and they couldn't think of anything better. Same idea with noob here. If they call you that, just say something like "So desperate to come up with an insult that you call me a noob, eh? At least use your brain and think of something a bit more creative." Noob is a pathetic insult, used by mainly pathetic people. Just ignore it and report. Not much else to do.
Sorry I droned on... I just wanted to say all that stuff.
