    You might have been banned for using bad language. Even if it isn't aimed at anyone in particular and even accounting for the mature language filter...if somebody sees it and reports it, you will absolutely be punished for it.

    I know a lot of people who choose to play it safe, myself included, by keeping dialogue with other players to a bare minimum. It makes the game much quieter, but it also doesn't risk losing a considerable amount of invested time and money.

    No one should ever have to play like this. There is something seriously wrong with a community where it's players are afraid to speak and be social. I think it's about time the player base AND SE staff, from producer to GM's looks at their game and realizes the system in place is toxic. There is a reasonable person clause in the ToS for a VERY good reason, it is about time the GM's learn what it is and remain objective rather than outright punishing people.

    That's never going to happen, as much as I agree. There's just too many sensetive players in this community that lose their wits when faced with criticism. Tell someone to improve on their job? You don't pay my sub. Give someone advice on mechanics? They know better. Do Savage content? You're a toxic elitist for merely existing. The ToS are purposefully vague to avoid further questioning on the subject. If you're unsure about violations chances are you'll be silent in-game. That's a feasible strategy to drown confrontations and deal with them swiftly. At what cost? It creates more segregation and anxiety. Basically the ToS is in stark contrast to the overall theme of the game and doesn't encourage any social interaction between people if you ask me.
