Profanity Filter and OCE Data Center

I agree, the rules against profanity are a bit ridiculous. It doesn't even matter what the context of interaction. For example, if I'm in a farm party for something and I accidentally die to a mechanic because I was dozing off/losing focus and I type "...oh sh*t" as a joke, technically I can be reported. It's ridiculous. I understand the need to try and prevent harassment and slurs thrown at people, but sometimes it comes off as some weird puritanical attack when someone gets upset at a tame, self-deprecating joke I made about myself.

Same, only time I cuss is when I mess up big time and basically cuss at myself, like "Oh ffs I'm a dumb*ss" or something like that, to let my party know I'm ware that I messed up and probably more annoyed about it than they are lol

thankfully nowadays, the only people that hear me curse are my discord friends when the stupid birds in E2S give me their stupid damage down thanks to a server tick or stupid hitbox.

Maybe a system autocorrector of profanity so the rule can Fruit itself.

This is why people barely say anything other than "hello/thanks for the party" in PuG's.

Special snowflakes/crybabies gonna report you the moment you slip and drop an F-bomb, don't even think about commenting on their performance, that's an insta-warning/ban from the GM's who don't have the backbone to tell them to stop crying and grow a thicker skin.

I really hope i'll be proven wrong, but imho what will kill this game is not making it over-simplified as many believed, but giving in to the tantrums of the crybabies.
I mean what's the point of the game being an MMO when it promotes staying silent whenever you are in a group or around other players.


P.S. I wonder how many of the said crybabies/snowflakes will report this post cause they deemed it "offensive".

At this point, they should remove duty finder and only allow grouping with people in your FC, and even then you should only chat with them in discord so they can't report for saying anything.

Remove DF?? Sorry, but that's a terrible idea.

To OP: Yeah I think it's ridiculous so many rules about what people consider to be profanity. What falls under the term profanity is subjective. Profanity has always been about one person telling another person what's okay and what's not okay according to the first person's feelings. Complete hogwash if you ask me. IMO, when you get online and begin interacting with other human beings you give up your right to earmuffs. Of course all of this goes back to freedom of speech versus private property on the internet... But you can really blame generation X for raising their crybaby kids to think that the world cares about their feelings, and now we have a generation of people who get butt-hurt when you go against their grain in any way, shape, or form.

This Baby Boomer believes that there are a number of 'special snowflakes' who deem being polite in a social setting is not something they should strive for. Cussing like a sailor (which, having been one, is something I know intimately) in a game environment is just rude. One can ignore an F-bomb in voice chat, but there is a level of calculation in a chat window, given the fact that you have to actually think before typing the words.
I blame this readiness to be rude on the anonymity engendered by people who have never known a world without the Internet.

To be clear, I didn't raise my millennial-generation sons to believe that the world revolves around them, nor do other parents that I know. You've apparently bought into the mythos of a marketing category that conveniently gives you a box to put down people whose views you don't appreciate.

True, but doesn’t mean I have to agree with it or like it. I do abide by it, I don’t type a bunch of profanity in game.

You’ve misjudged me based on my comment apparently. I stated my opinion on the issue. Never said I go around using profanity, or what others consider to be profanity, in social settings just for the sake of making people feel uncomfortable. It’s not rude to exercise free speech by the way. My free speech doesn’t end because someone else doesn’t like the language I choose to use. Also, I agree with you on the idea of being culturally and socially competent, and with choosing to use tact when necessary. Also, never attacked your parenting style personally so I’m unsure why you’re offended by that, it’s not my intention to create an argument over parenting techniques and their effects.
