Exactly how harsh are the chat rules?

[SturmChurro]

I'd take the better safe than sorry route. What is said in-game is ultimately logged in-game, and a GM can pull all of those records. I'd like to be more direct at times, even on the forums, but it's not worth the potential risk. No curse words either - not that they are really necessary to hold a conversation.

PvP enforcement seems to be overharsh to me. I don't really, personally, see an issue with using certain emotes to taunt a player, it's part of the nature of a PvP environment. However, the chat spamming can be a little obnoxious, not that I necessarily think someone deserves a strike over it. I wish the game was less drastic with much of it's punishments.
