Rule Change-

[Gula]

It seems to me like the easiest way to avoid any issue with the profanity rule is to simply not use bad words in circumstances where they could be seen as inflammatory.

I don't think anybody's ever been punished for saying vulgar things in their FC chat or otherwise amongst friends, but if someone is cursing like a sailor in a public chat, in front of strangers, that is not appropriate social behaviour and anyone who wishes to report it is fully justified in doing so.

There are people who say some really disgusting things in /shout from political trolling to treating the chat like their personal discord. I will sometimes say something about it- asking them to stop. As expected, I get insults and rude /tells hurled my way. And I report.

Lawful good life.

Yes, there is of course the blacklist option. That is always an option. But 1. It is not an unlimited list. 2. If I end up in a duty with them (has happened) and they are giving instructions, well I'll be the odd one out.

For most ToS rules where there is a clear black and white, clear-cut difference between what's allowed and what isn't, the answer is simple. Don't break the rules!

For social rules, I've always imagined they apply when people are annoyed or offended. Cursing in a friendly manner toward another person who is also cursing is kind of harmless. There's a big difference between that and telling an under-performing party member to "**** off".

Gotta know your audience. Are you in a dungeon/town/event chatting with randoms? Probably not the best time to be dropping fbombs. Are you chatting with your own personal group of friends/FC mates where this language is acceptable? By all means, go for it.

Much like in real life, we all have the ability to say whatever we like, but you have to use common sense and your own discretion to know when and where it is appropriate to do so.

Just don't type profanity in chat and you'll be golden.

Yea but who reads the ToS? Seriously?

Really bored people who are super annoyed because of some shmuck pulling hunts early.

Just don't type profanity in chat and you'll be golden.

Yeah, use innuendo like a grown-up!

Nope. If SE or better said the GM's decide to enforce their ToS, like the mods here on the forum, you are not golden if you don't type profanity. That is just wishfull thinking.

I was referring to this.

So, I feel the need to express this huge gap in the rules, and explain why they aren't fair in my personal opinion.


So as I am sure most of us are aware, there is a rule against using profanity.
