    If you don't want the potential of getting a ban, don't use minor swears or any other language that will get you banned, it really isn't that difficult. I swear like a sailor on shore leave irl, but my language in game, even around friends, is squeaky clean.

    But since you said "many of your friends" are getting banned, well I do not think your pals are as innocent as they are making themselves out to be since the minor swears thing is one of those weird outliers that do not happen often. And frankly, something that may not be offensive to you, may be to someone else, even within the same community. For instance, irl I use the f word a lot to describe myself and my friends, who do the same. To us it's like the n word, its ok for us within the community to use it, but used by others it is racist and derogatory. However, my husband gets highly offended by it, even from myself or other gays and will report it. Therefore I only use that word around my friends who are of the same mindset and would never even think to say it in game or even irl if I do not know how someone feels about it. I know I see a lot of behaviour from ppl in this game, even from our community, that makes me cringe. Just because we are part of the lgbt community, does not mean we all have the same views on what is acceptable.

    So, while you may have someone being malicious, you may also have others in our community that just have different views on what is acceptable, which is ok. The main takeaway you should get from this though, is there are rules on how to act in public spaces and if you wish to act or talk differently, you need to be in a more closed group where everyone is on the same page.
