    Stop being unreasonable finding random swears offensive?

    I mean I don't wanna be that guy n'd all, but that clearly says "profanity or"

    meaning it's either "profanity" or "reasonably offensive language"

    meaning profanity is singled out here

    Cool to know that people are still letting words some puritans back in the day said were bad, influence them so much as to be offended.

    I ain't really arguing anything here.

    Just saying that "profanity isn't even in the TOS" isn't really true, it's there, and isolated. Four's kinda going completely off the rails and their arguments aren't making too much sense at this point.

    It's not a matter of being offended. Stop letting edgy internet culture cloud your judgement just because someone led you to believe that anyone that points out bad behaviour is just being "offended" or a "snowflake".

    The rules were made by SE. They can't catch everyone. So players are allowed to report when they see a rule being broken. Then a GM is sent to assess it and possibly dole out punishment. SE says profanity and offensive language is against the rules. You do it, and someone spots it, you might get punished. Not sure why you struggle with that concept.

    Sorry if words are bad behavior, then there is a massive issue as words only have the power you grant them. They can make the rules all they want, but with as vague as they are, they yhave pretty much carte blanch on enforcing them, which is not good when it comes to rule enforcement

    So who's the one running amok here? People getting offended? GMs on a power trip? Get your story straight, I'm trying to figure out who you're a victim of here and you're constantly changing it.

    I'd say the people getting offended by profanity, which funnily enough the use of has a positive correlation with being honest according to some studies and others show a increased pain tolerance from swearing. There is also no actual evidence of harm from profanity. In the end though, they are just words deemed by puritans of the past as bad or offensive

    so we agree that it says "You may not use profanity"?

    because I don't find random swears offensive, but I do recognize what the words "you may not use profanity" mean in terms of what is a punishable offense.
