The word 'pinger' has became a widely-used insult in the pvp community lately and I don't understand why. If someone has a better ping than you, it's not their fault that they have better internet. It's not your fault that you don't have better internet. So stop complaining. Stop using ping as an excuse for losing and get better. I saw a player in chat say today "People ping so hard on this server". It's not their fault that they have a good ping, there's no such thing as 'pinging', unless you're talking about seeing your response time to a server. People don't just wake up and say "Well, looks like i'm going to 'ping' today"

It's just a response used to make people feel better about their loss
I say let it be if it makes them feel better about themselves

Or, you can just refrain from playing any multiplayer game.

Or, you could just hope for a utopian Badlion where speaking in chat is an instant perm mute.

I believe only mods and admins should be able to speak to ensure that the server be clean!
Wait, no, the mods might use a swear word! Better mute them out.
Or, the Master Gberry might talk about how he's drunk at the moment! There are CHILDREN on this server! Looks like he will ALSO be receiving a mute.
Let's not forget about Archy getting angry at League of Legends! TOXICITY! Muted!
Also we should write a letter to Mojang suggesting the idea of eliminating any chance of ping by making it so the only way to hit someone is if they are on any of the 8 blocks around you. This will be perfect and ensure that there is no unfair reach or teleportation!
PvP will be better than ever and Badlion will become a haven for anyone in the world. Teen moms, grandfathers, math teachers, and even popular YouTubers, such as weeweepoopie, Cayden, and CopperCab!

In all seriousness: people aren't going to stop saying pinger. Don't bother trying to make them do something that we all do sometimes. Ping is literally the only thing that's not censored that someone can blame their death on lol
