I don't think anybody's ever been punished for saying vulgar things in their FC chat or otherwise amongst friends, but if someone is cursing like a sailor in a public chat, in front of strangers, that is not appropriate social behaviour and anyone who wishes to report it is fully justified in doing so.
I can see your side to this, of course there is a limit when general banter becomes inappropriate.
But let's say you're in a duty roulette, you make a mistake and die to a mechanic. You say "oh s*** my bad lol"
Is that really something that should be reported? Especially when there are filters in place, and filters that are removable.

That is the only thing I just can't understand.

And according to their rules 3.3 states profanity or offensive language. Something that a reasonable person might find offensive. So you can be in your FC chat with friends, and someone you don't know well or for whatever reason doesn't like you, (maybe you had a falling out as friends) and they decide to report you and claim to be offended. Is that fair or justifiable?
