I'd like to know why I'm in the Mordian Gaol

Don't let emotions do the talking.

We're all human. We all make mistakes on occasion.

But we also have to accept that there are going to be consequences from those mistakes.

That’s simply not true though, is it? The whole premise of this thread is that SE doesn’t give definitive reasons why you were banned.

The people who pretended they got banned for rescuing from AOEs (when really they were trolling like every single healer did when they introduced Rescue) are no different than the likes of OP swearing and screaming at people then acting bemused when they face repercussions.

So if you are swearing, especially at people, yeah, don't do that.


It's not hard to not swear in chat. Especially since it's not like voice where it can just come out. You have to type it and hit enter.

But just put in a gm report in game asking for one to come talk to you.

1) You have to actively turn the swear filter OFF, it is ON by default.

2) If you have the swear filter turned OFF, you are clearly comfortable with swear words.

What do you people want? A legaleze text bubble saying "By turning this filter off you recognize that you might see words you find uncomfortable"?

You're being punished, have you considered the 'waste of time' aspect may be intentional? It's not supposed to be convenient for you, the person being punished.

I'm not the one reporting people. I'm just explaining the reasoning.

Don't "you people" me.


Also, it's entirely possible someone may turn it off so they know specifically what is being said.
There are people out there who would use language in a manner no one is OK with.

This is also a reason to turn it off. Normal words get hit by the filter. Heck in one game I play, the word class is censored, and it's basically a necessary word when talking about warships....

It's a waste of time for the GM as well though. To me the whole GM jail song and dance just seems like a step that could be skipped all together given that in most cases (that I've heard about) the decision as to what punishment you'll receive is already made anyway.

I wonder if it's because you could do something, get reported, tossed in jail while offline and say - the punishment is a 3 day suspension. But if the punishment starts automatically when you get tossed in jail and you aren't online to know it and you don't happen to log in to play the game for another 5 days - there really was no punishment because the 3 day suspension happened during then? I mean i don't know if that's the reason, but I could see it being something like that.

I reported a player once. Ruby Weapon, I'm SCH and first time, a few other newbies, tank kindly guided the party through it, and I struggled that day. We pulled it off, and halfway in typing said tank a thank you for guiding us, they said "*my character's name* you're a super sh*tty healer, quit playing," and left.

The other players remaining were almost as baffled as I was. I'm typing up a sincere thank you note for helping me with a fight I struggled BAD with, nothing constructive, nothing but bile and bounced out before I could even type anything.

THAT is reportable toxicity.

Players are not required to provide constructive criticism. Though harsh comments still do provide some valuable information which could give players the push needed to take a look at how they are playing.

I feel for GM’s cause often profanity or “toxic” reports for the most part are probably one off cases. Though rules are rules.

In the end a factual statement toxic or not should not be a reason for offense. Often when people are "toxic" normally there is a reason for it. Rarely do you ever see someone call someone bad or something without cause. Sure being g respectful would be nice but the tone or word choice should not negate truthful statements.

If only people stuck to truthful statements.
I had a Nin recentky chew me out (Suzaku EX) because they died and gave me (AST) an earful for it.
Was their statement true? Their aggressive tone aside, was I an awful healer for letting them die?
The truth of the matter is: they botched a mechanic and were pushed off the edge.
Pretty much every healer I know has no end to anecdotes about someone messing up and blaming the healer for their death.

yes, there is a profanity filter, to stop random mistakes. but like some dev put it somewhere, just because someone wears a bullet proof vest, it doesnt give you license to shoot them

We get like 50 threads a day of people who lost their house complaining they didn’t read any of the many auto demolition emails they received. I assume the in game punishment is to ensure you actually know you’ve been punished in case you just dip for a bit and didn’t even notice you were suspended.

Sure you will run into an asshole every so often does not change the fact people get offended over truthful statements.
