"god darn"
hey guys, is "god darn" considered profanity? does it suggest anything inappropriate? i was told to stop it or i would have been kicked out of the server.

It makes little difference what you or the public thinks is considered profanity. Just play the game.
I find it interesting that you first posted this on the "Player finding the game hostile" thread. The administrators are doing their best to keep the game as family-friendly as possible so that the maximum number of people can play without being offended or feeling like it is a hostile environment.
The admin did not ban you from the game, you were only warned. The admin did not force you to stop using the phrase, you are just required not to type it into your console. Perhaps your ego was damaged a little bit, but if it saved someone else from being offended, than it is well worth it.

The thing to remember is that people don't think the same way as you. What you consider an extreme of one thing could be somebody else's idea of something tame, and vice versa. I find the best thing to do while playing BZFlag is to be passive - you often come across people who you disagree with, perhaps strongly, however, the best tactic in most cases is to sit back, silence the player, and enjoy a good game. Don't allow yourself to be drawn into rows and arguments, it's going to end in tears.
