I personally think that's a bit too far. I mean even UT and many other games like this have taunts worse then Nexuiz's and no one usually minds and if they do they can just turn them off. Nexuiz is a shooter, meaning it's a competitive fighting game above everything. As friendly as it is and the community is as well, you can't have a player shooting someone to pieces and saying nice things every time. Blowing someone up then saying "come on friend, you can play better" would sound unnormal and just wouldn't fit.
It's a lot like a boxing match... the combatants smack each other each round and often say all sorts of awful things to each other, but when the match ends they shake hands or hug. So I don't think a minimum of lightly rude voices can be avoided, otherwise we would just remove the blood and weapons and not make Nexuiz a fighting game at all so it would be 100% nice. Just what I think.
I try to be one of the people who makes the community as friendly as possible myself, but if we are to have voice taunts (which I believe are a really great feature that makes the action much more alive) we can't make them about friendship and nice things while people fight each other cuz it just wouldn't sound right.
