I know I have, and for what? Because I said words like damn or hell. Now you may think those qualify as a rude way of speaking, but heck, this game is meant for 13+ people, isn't "damn" or "hell" acceptable at a limit?

On top of that, NPC's use damn or hell themselves... so what's up with this shizzle!?

Wish Swiftdeath · Nov 04, 2007, 11:02 PM // 23:02

no b/c i dont talk to idiots(outside my guild or friends list)

if you do pug, be courteous and helpful, thats all i can say.

Rexion · Nov 04, 2007, 11:05 PM // 23:05

i got reported because some idiot got offended for my little joke that got 5 lol-lmao-rofl's:
"doing /beg spam on you for 100g"

Konrow · Nov 04, 2007, 11:05 PM // 23:05

there are filters. not our fault the kids turn em off or the parents don't care.

I have noticed that when playing American Districts there are a number of players who get upset when using any of those words,any reference to a certain religious deity or abbreviated swear words , this is not a slur on Americans just an observation so please don't flame.

Anet wouldn't take action on an account for saying damn or hell, and no, I've never been reported for inappropriate language.

How could he not see the Award Winning Joke that received 5 giggles? Why would he report that . .

Dont expect this to be open for too long, already reported it.

haven't been reported and don't understand why there is a chat filter that is turn offable if people aren't allowed to utilise the full extent of the language.

words themselves are not offensive it is the manner in which they are utilised.

prick in and of itself is not an offensive word. I have to prick my fingers every day in order to measure my blood glucose level. However somone may call someone a stupid little prick. thereby using an inofensive word in an offensive manner. That should be reportable. Personally I would find being called stupid far more offensive however as that besmirches my intelligence, of which i'm sure is very adequate. its one thing to be a git but to be a stupid one is even worse

i don't really talk in local other than to answer questions, which I do politely. Real conversation is reserved for friends and guildies, who don't present a problem.

The rule against language is explicitly stated to be "abusive" language, which includes serious racist remarks, verbal abuse, etc. Honestly I don't think ArenaNet gives a shit if you want to swear casually in game... that's what the language filter is for. The 13-year old griefers who get off on getting others banned will /report you all they like, but it requires intervention on the part of an Anet employee to actually do anything about it. Otherwise its just spam for Anet to sift through.

In short, don't sweat it. Its abuse of the /report system and nothing more.

Molock · Nov 04, 2007, 11:52 PM // 23:52

I swear in PuG's all the time.. I have never been reported..

There is a reason for the filter..

ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ · Nov 04, 2007, 11:52 PM // 23:52

Never got reported for inappropriate language before and I have a dirty mouth.

Snow Bunny · Nov 05, 2007, 12:45 AM // 00:45

I got reported.

Several Times.

But ANet obviously thinks I'm entertaining.

So scccrreeeewwww you.

Viruzzz · Nov 05, 2007, 12:52 AM // 00:52

how about this suggestion: Anybody with the chat filter turned off should not be allowed to report for offensive language.

Wish Swiftdeath · Nov 05, 2007, 01:11 AM // 01:11

/agree instantly

it would stop all those annoying kids reporting

Neo Nugget · Nov 05, 2007, 01:30 AM // 01:30

Nope, I haven't been banned at all :O

Antheus · Nov 05, 2007, 01:34 AM // 01:34

Nope.

But the 12 char limit makes me say RED ENGINE GORED words.

Agent Mold3r · Nov 05, 2007, 01:37 AM // 01:37

ive been banned for innappropriate language and racial slurs,

be careful who you joke with

Darkobra · Nov 05, 2007, 01:37 AM // 01:37

Nope. My vocabulary is far larger so I can be very subtle AND very offensive. I think the subtlety adds to the offense.

Count to Potato · Nov 05, 2007, 01:39 AM // 01:39

i think its automatic 72 hour ban for certain words, no reports needed
