 | Account suspended for "bad" language...(1) | Category: GeneralApril-23-2013 6:06 PM PDT (10 years ago)  |
| I had my account suspended for a few hours for using a cuss word or two. Keep in mind, I wasn't saying anything bad about anybody, or saying anything that would be considered harassment. I was under the assumption that the Mature Language Filter would be used for those who are sensitive to "curse words", and let the adults be able to speak without such bindings. I thought context is everything when getting suspended for language came to play. So this is a heads up for people who thought the way that I once thought. If you're throwin' out a few cuss words in a pub chat, even though innocently, understand that there could be one bitter individual who wants you to be punished for it, and report you on the sly. And an equally sensitive Game Master will review it, and suspend you accordingly. I'll keep my language as square as possible from now on. | ||

You are responsible for posting in a civil manner and the profanity filter does not grant license to violate the Code of Conduct. Regardless of if your obscene language is masked or unmasked, it's not allowed on the forums or in-game, as you can see here by the Code of Conduct's obscene / vulgar language section.I was under the assumption that the Mature Language Filter would be used for those who are sensitive to "curse words", and let the adults be able to speak without such bindings.

It really comes down to this: certain language just isn't necessary, and if your language is being censored by the mature language filter, you probably shouldn't be using it. | ||
