This is easier said than done. There are always going to be people who swear/disrespect on the server and the best thing to do is report them.
Well, I guess you can't really convince others this way. I still think only harsh punishment through just reports are the only way. It's become so much of their habits that they just don't really watch their language. Well, I do swear sometimes, but I try to keep it to myself most of the time.
What? I said that if a few people do something they cannot represent the whole, I then go on to say even if most of the people are doing something they still do not represent the whole. There is no contradiction there.
Swearing has become somewhat of a habit for people and is common on the internet; I personally think it would be hard to stop it completely but I suppose if you do take offense then you can always report it :P
