Remove the Profanity Filter

[PPG4LIFE]

i might turn back on the profanity filter then, to see if my words gets censored or not, since i turned it off on day 1 i started around december 2018, so i can just be myself, and im else very boring if i cannot be myself, then i only am negative about mostly myself, which reminds me, if i normally insult anyone then only myself, but never others by using bad words, i only can write sometimes that i refuse joining back the dungeons, just because someone else became toxic to me or just globally in party. But that is not i hope the case of my situation even tho it said i did use profanity in a duty, so i really wonder why, i always talk very casually about everything where i think then at those times. or might my penalty because of my starterline when i play tank, which is like: Welcome everyone in the dungeon with Michelle and her current healslave <2> (which causes to target the healer)

I'm pretty sure the filter would stop you from *seeing* words, not sending them.

Also, "healslave" is not a nice thing to call someone, even if the words themselves are not "rude". I certainly wouldn't feel welcomed by it.


(Also also, please use some line breaks to make your posts more readable.)

If I entered a duty and someone called me their 'healslave', I would take the 30 minute penalty without hesitation because I don't want to be anywhere near someone like that. Being called a slave by someone I don't know is a hard No for me. Certain things might be okay with friends, but people have to understand you can't just say whatever you want to or about strangers.

The unfortunate thing is, people are immature and get real uppity when they don't see the person behind the monitor. I got called soft (multiple times from various people) because they called me things like loser, nerd, sloot (except the actual word) and others and I told them not to do that. Their response is guaranteed "Well I call my friends that I don't see why you're so offended." When really, it's not being offended- it's annoyance at insults being treated as endearment to a stranger and someone not one of your closer friends.

This post wasnt based on the main topic anymore.

if i would get u in party, then u know alr that when im the tank and saying that, u do know im not even serious on that, its actual a joke where u hav to think deeper than ppl mostly do:
In any dungeon u got 3 roles: Tank, Healer and DPS, the healers job is to keep as highest priority themselves alive, but in most cases they only aim on the tank, since if tank dies, its game over mostly, thats why i say Healslave, its not a real slave, nhu nhu nhuu, it just means who at that time is also having responsibilities on keeping alife the Tank, but then ill change that macro i guess to: Welcome everyone in the dungeon from Michelle and her current healer: <2>
or actually i wanted to redo that whole macro to like 3 sorts which lists all players at the start of a dungeon in a list, like:
Tank: <1>
Healer: <2>
Dps 1: <3>
Dps 2: <4>
But i just forgot to do that already

None of that has to do with the fact that it's extremely iffy to introduce yourself to player you don't know by calling them a slave, doubly so if the player happens to be black. You're needlessly dancing through a minefield that way. If someone did that to me, even if it was a macro (and I'd assume it was a macro), I wouldn't quit the duty, but I'd probably let the tank die at least once for the sake of irony.

Your intentions really don't matter here, it's how you might reasonably come across.

I dunno if there's more to this or not. Healslave, in context is rather humorous I guess, maybe....I s'pose. But you have to understand that many people do not take things in context an they may they only see the offensive part of it. That bein said I think the most important takeaway is that you must consider yer audience. I mean, I'm rather crass in game, yes, I even curse in /shout fer cryin out loud but I make sure it's very lighthearted and most definitely not targeted. An no I have never bin reported fer nuthin, an I bin here since launch! In our private FC chat and Linkshells things get very, very, VERY nsfw but we are all good friends and all very much adults. We are also an extremely diverse crowd both gender wise, sexual orientation wise, and racial wise, but again, we are all ADULTS and know the difference between summat said to rib someone or something ACTUALLY offensive. We also will make no beans about tellin someone to stf up if they said the wrong thing (almost never happens). So, ya..there's either more to the story or context was lost with the wrong crowd. Oki, rambling I know, it's bin a long day and work sucked. ADVISE!!! Limit yer macro notifier use to utilitarian things for raises or spells cast for non stackie things an whatnot. Free license is not given to "be yerself" in a public, paid for, moderated forum. Despite what Ma or Da or teacher told ya you canna express yerself like that where others may take offense and take action, and I think the results here speak for themselves. Ask yerself if you say that in public and risk a face to face confrontation. Also be aware that the ToS just changed, and as a diligent player who takes these things serious, you should probly take the advice of the game installer and read them, as well as the EULA.

(Edit) I too should use line breaks,paragraphs, and other whatnots of proper written english. But I am tired and lazy an the best ya gets is this half-hearted edit.

Question for you. Is English not your first language? Are you typing on a flip phone by chance? It's very, very hard to read and understand your posts.

Calling anyone you don't know your healslave would be an INCREDIBLY rude and offensive thing to do out of the blue like that. If someone was just q'ing up into a dungeon and the rando tank puts a target on my head and calls me his healslave at the start of the run...I would be immediately PO'd and I am not a person who cares at all about "bad words" or obscene language in the least. I swear all the time in chat myself. I wouldn't report the dude, but hoo boy would my temperature rise a few ticks right there. If that is your default macro opener for every piece of content you run....you were inevitably going to get reported sooner or later.

I want to believe this is one of those cases where you don't quite understand English slang as much as perhaps you think you do and aren't aware how ridiculously offensive and demeaning you are being with that opening line, whether you think it is a joke or not. It has both racially and sexually offensive overtones to it that would not sit well with most people coming from a total stranger.

Wait... we're not healslaves? Have I been playing healers wrong for a decade and a half? Pretty sure the only job I was expected to always try and do was heal...
