I think it's a pretty good rule, considering that it's 2016 and people are being offended left right & centre. Also, it's pretty sad if you feel the need to type an enraged message in all caps when you fail. When you get mad, remove your hands from the keyboard. Simple.
I play OPPvP and KitPvP all the time and I can resist telling someone to kill themselves pretty easily. This is one of the most ridiculous suggestions I have come across, just don't type anything in the chat. If you rage over dying in Minecraft then maybe Minecraft isn't your game.
With the KYS rule, what you are saying is ''Lets remove the death wishes rule so we can run around screaming: KYS!! And not get banned!''
I agree with you. Removing it would help although since I've been banned more than 5 times for that. Support
My personal opinion on this discussion.. ''Deathwishes''. Saying ''kill yourself'' is considered to encourage an individual to commit suicide. If someone is already depressed enough and is using this game as a way to escape the depression, or generally a suicidal person, then you'd be assisting them to their own death. You're all human. Every person on KitPvP and OP PvP is a human being. With real actual emotions and thought. Consider your words carefully as you don't know what the person behind that screen is going through. 12 year olds play on that server. This is a ''kid friendly'' server (main reason we have an overdone filter). We shouldn't encourage children to say ''kys''. If you feel that encouraging suicide over a game is okay, then maybe consider a different game. Preferably an offline game. Or maybe a different hobby in general. ''Staff disrespect''. Typing something in that like: ''Oh, I think he's dumb'' shouldn't really be considered an insult. However staff disrespect is real. Minor comments aren't really worth it. Saying things like ''he's absolutely at his job and should resign''....eh... I see how that can be taken as an offense. ''DDoS'' Eh, usually big talk. And if you don't use your Premium $50 program, being banned shouldn't really be an issue.
Just because you've been banned for something does not mean you should support removing it from the rules. I've been banned at least five times for hacking but I'm not going to support making hacks legal on this server, it's your own fault that you got banned.
Like everyone has been saying, it's your fault. Also this is a good rule because some people will listen to "kys" and actually do it. We're not taking chances. Please think about what you're doing here.
