Do it again, the first time counts against you, you'll get a longer suspension.

And so on.

People don't realize that EVERYTHING IS LOGGED.

I can't tell you how many times people have acted shocked that, yes the GMs have records of all the perverted stuff that is said in /tells, /party, and even /say or /em in private apartments/homes/rooms.

Not to say people don't talk a lot. Usually a lot of nonsense, especially in areas like Balmung Ul'dah, or the primary hub areas.

But use common sense. Profanity in public is always an inherent risk. I don't care how many times you get away with it. All it takes is one report for the GMs to come down on you.
#1 reason people don't seem to understand how they get caught. Everything you type in that box is saved on the servers, doesn't go away when you logout.

Also I don't tell anyone I'm reporting them for profanity, I just do it when it's pointed and rude. Only takes a few seconds to paste their name/server, write a sentence and time they did it. It's not a big effort.
