You can complain all you want about it not being offensive, but the fact of the matter is, that someone WAS offended by it, else you would not have been reported. FYI, flipping the bird is the same as saying "go F**k yourself". In case you were unaware. And the killing part isn't exactly all that appropriate either. Deserved punishment is deserved.


    Sure next time if I happen to pass somebody that is supposedly "having fun" with another person and has nothing to do with me but I find offensive, I'd be sure to report them.

    So long as they are making sexually explicit gestures, or something else that is offensive and against the ToS, you would be justified in doing so. Otherwise, you'd get another ban for griefing. Seriously, do I REALLY have to spell this out for you? Are you REALLY this dumb? Offensive is offensive. Period. No matter that you are just having fun with friends. If others are around, and your having fun with friends is making them at all uncomfortable, it is called harassment. Save things like offensive gestures for PRIVATE times if you don't want to be reported for them. In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet, and 1+1=2.

    You should look up the term 'harassment'. It doesn't fit the definition you have in your mind.

    Also, your manner is quite fowl. No need to talk to people that way.

    Here is the definition for people to view.

    -Harassment-
    The act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands.

    If the emotes were being repeated, like spam, people would report the op and it would probably fit this definition. I have seen people suspended for spamming /slap on a friend. They also were reported and suspended for harassment even though the friend being slapped had no issue with it.

    My case was pretty much like this. I'm fine with the ban even though I see it as abit unfair, but I don't mind. What I'm actually concerned about is the actual ban time, it didn't specify how long it just but just the minimum time which was 24h

    It's set like that because they investigate to see if you have any other previous ban records (including forums) and such. If you don't, you get a full time sent to your email (which is usually 1 - 3 days) or if you've repeatedly been banned, it can go for a week - perma.

    Much like forum bans are minimum of x hours, then goes to 10 days, then 2 weeks, then perma.

    Ironically by calling me dumb, you have violated TOS and I find that very offensive.

    Reported.

    But on a serious note, your tone isn't helping anyone.
