Getting banned for cussing in pvp
How likely is this ?
My alliance people (I don't like my alliance) said that some guys were going back and forth on JQ local chat, so they screenshotted it, submitted it to Anet, and one of them got his $50+ account deleted within 6 hours. That kind of gave me a cold chill since I like to cuss and think that it's just a fun part of pvp... like today I said shut up faggot on local, and once I called a wastrel's collapse sin a bitch on AB. Will I get banned for this kind of thing ? I thought GW had a chat filter, and you could only get banned for attempting to bypass it... but idiots on my alliance getting some guy banned is really scary. |

Deleted seems highly unlikely. It's probably just a 24 hour ban.
And they've become pretty strict on swearing these days, so I wouldn't cuss *too* much. Especially not stuff like faggot and shit like that. |

I'd report you if you told me to 'shut up faggot', and called me 'bitch' (after you've beaten me...)

1. Accounts don't get deleted. ArenaNet just blocks them from use.
2. Reasons for permanent blocks (other than account selling/buying) usually fall under the cheating or attempting to cheat category. This covers exploits such as duping and bots. 3. If you get reported for other infractions of the EULA (have you ever read the legal section of guildwars.com?), and the reports are validated, you get marks on your account record. When you accumulate enough you get temp blocked. Accumulate a lot over a short period of time and you might get a long term block. 4. Don't believe everything other players tell you about account blocks. Most of it is hearsay or outright lies. 5. Incidental swearing in chat is not often reported or punished. What does get reported and acted upon is calling people derogatory names or making personal attacks. That falls under the verbal abuse section of the reporting system.

very likely, especially in the "lower tier" arena's like AB.
I'd advice you to stop doing it. It's not "fun", and while I myself don't mind, some people do, and they will report you. Your account will never get deleted by the way. That's just a myth. You'll most likely get a temporally ban, duration depending on how many times you've been banned before/how bad you behaved. |

Don't get pissed at people and start swearing at them. Get pissed at them and start dissing their build. That usually gets players to rage a whole lot more, and it sounds a lot less verbally abusive.
Of course, if their build isn't bad, and you're getting yourself owned by them, don't say anything back, because you'll just make yourself look more stupid. |

There's hardly a reason for you to swear in PvP, or anywhere in GWars, it's just stupid.
Also, like everyone else said before me, the user wouldn't have gotten deleted, just temp banned. But, if I were you, I'd watch out for getting reported for swearing or "verbal abuse". I mean, personally I don't care much for swearing but some players do and they will report you. I'd hate for that to happen to me. |

Just swear in RL and let the rage out.
No reason to type it out. |

Well, I should think that if you just swear - as in, 'damnit, I made a stupid mistake' - the likelihood of some fellow reporting you is pretty low. Just as long as you don't go over the top.
Your calling someone a faggot, however, is definitely bound to piss a few people off. I wouldn't appreciate being called a faggot or a bitch. Would you? |

They shouldn't ban them , just shut down their chat privileges for x amount of time. That would be way more effective when they couldn't answer anyone and had to explain out of game why they got a "time out" lol
Or put a dunce cap on them and a title that says "I was bad don't talk to me". |

I don't appreciate getting jumped by a wastrel's collapse sin when I'm just trying to avoid a fight and get to my party. Especially when the only reason he won was that I couldn't switch to my hammer. (the THIRD RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING TIME I actually had a weapon out and beat him, note that he wasn't with his party ever what stupid typical sin I don't invite them)
Also the shut up faggot was well deserved. So basically.... maybe. Not permanently, probably. Also when I get called a faggot or a bitch, I can give it RIGHT back trust me. It's just when people chase me down with hexes, snare me by mobs, etcetera, doing stupid mean shit just for a free kill. When I see my teammates chasing single enemies I usually order them to stop. As far as insulting over builds, yes, some awful monk did bring my sexual orientation into the discussion about builds... also some cripslasher I kicked was all about like I've guested rawr etcetc I've only seen them lose.

But the true worst of it all, is when someone does beat me in 1v1 and i say "GJ, nice build" they start mouthing me off "Stupid Noob" "Get a better Build" When theyre most likely running a pvxwiki build. Last edited by lewis91; Apr 13, 2009 at 12:52 AM // 00:52.. |

You don't have the right to personally attack someone, no matter what they're doing. That would definately deserve a /report and most likely a ban
