The 3-Strikes Policy - Is it really a good thing?

[Nothv13]

Every other page there is always someone that brings up the profanity filter like it's an excuse to curse, and doesn't realize it's just a client-only setting for you. So you don't accidentally run across profanity in the chat like if someone did it in a linkshell or shout Limsa. What you write is in the server logs is available for a GM to read verbatim.

Like I said, if you think it's normal behavior to type cursing out in this game, the burden is on you, and eventually you won't have an account anymore. Maybe you need to start replacing words in your dictionary, what you think is reasonable, doesn't mean it is.

So let me get this straight, the game has a literal tool (that I believe is on by default) so that you don't have to read any swears. So you turn it off to get offended when someone uses a swear and then report them? This is some straight up backwards thinking.

It's well known that the profanity filter is totally fail proof when altering just one letter of a curse word withh a simple '*' is enough to go past it.

Then people will just use adjacent words as a replacement. This just reminds my of my time working with young children. "Joey said a bad!" Then Joey gets timeout. I don't know about you, but I don't like being treated like a child.

Then don't act immature. Follow the rule instead of trying to bypass it.

Part of not acting like a child is also not being so offended by a word you can ignore as to report it.

Nah being an adult is letting others know you are offended.

Being offended is not a matter of age/maturity.

And besides, you're the one who don't want to be treated like a child in this thread, not "them."

BEing offended i sliterally letting other people know you can't handle your emotions so someone else should. This is the epitome of being immature to me.

There's a stark difference between the use of profanity and slurs, arguably the people that proclaim to have gotten a warning or banned for the former, are often masking and only telling half the story when in reality they fall into the latter. Besides, it's not backward thinking to report someone for the use of profanity when it is in no unclear terms prohibited.

Not talking about people you know actually directing slurs at people. To me it is 100% backwards to turn off the exact tool designed so that you wouldn't have to see a bad word and thus not offend you, and then turn around and report someone for something that offends you, yet was 100% avoidable by not turning off said tool. It seems to defeat the entire purpose of said tool.
