Please create a better warning system.

Please SE create a better warning system to allow the offender to know what they exactly did instead of just protecting the reporter. Cause the system tells you to

We therefore ask account holders to take extra care not to repeat violations of the user agreement.

but at the same time even when submitting a GM ticket they can't tell you exactly what you did and the system just tells you some vague ToS description.

Now some of them are pretty clear such as using hacks, bots, RMT but there are ones that just a umbrella term such as "for use of offensive language" ok but what did person do that was so offensive as everyone finds different things offensive. Now if someones goes all "#&#&#&@&#&#&#" on chat ok I can see that and most likely person going to remember doing that. But if some say calls someone a "idiot" or a Richard (if people know term I'm talking about) something like that someone could find that offensive and report person for it and the offender most likely not even recall who or even that they call a person that, and then SE giving you a warning for it as I said before telling you to stop it without even telling you exactly what you did.

I get the whole anonymous report thing and can't tell who reported you but you could at least tell the person what they did. "You said this word or phrase" unless it was a targeted attack most are not going to be able to figure who reported them.

(made forum topic cause that what GM suggested to do for my suggestion, which was also mentioned to them)

Not sure why reporting for offensive language is even an option when there's a filter. If you don't want to see "mature" language then use the filter. : / they should also implement a mute function.

This is a common misconception. The filter is there as a safeguard for parents and other people who don't want to see offensive language under any circumstances. It is not there to allow people to just say anything they like.

This is taken from the ToS Final Fantasy XIV Support

The use of inappropriate or offensive language, whether or not directed at another player, is considered harassment and is strictly prohibited

OP I agree, considering there are considerable differences between what individuals deem 'offensive', it would be helpful if the system gave more information about the nature of the offence when somebody is reported.

Existence of a filter is not license to violate rules regarding profanity.

On freedom of speech, that doesn't app!y. Freedom of speech protects against censorship by government, not from private individual s or corporations.

EXACTLY! I was reported for offensive language/swearing and I couldn't remember what was said, so I contacted them and asked exactly what I said that caused me to be flagged, and they wouldn't tell me! They said it was for privacy concerned, but it was MY report! This is horrible customer service.

Exactly. If you're not misspelling things on purpose you're not in the wrong. If the profanity filter catches it, that's what it's ****ing there for.

The forum ban/suspension specifically tells you what you did. I know, I got one.

There's words that are offensive but only when used in a certain way, to block them would make certain regular conversations difficult. There's also terms that are highly offensive in one country but not another, even though the same language is spoken.

It's not that language has to be "mature" (aka swearing) to be offensive either. Obviously I can't give examples because they may offend but just think about it enough & some will spring to mind.
