I recently was suspended for chat in-game. I’m not here to revisit that. I appealed, it was upheld, and some of the chat was shared with me.
What I would like to ask to prevent a chat-based ban going forward is about swearing.
Is using salty language - outside of using it in anger towards someone or just in general anger - a suspension-worthy offense?
I ask because it seems there is a chat filter, and I assumed if someone did not want their children (or themselves) reading f-words and s-words, they would turn on that filter.
This is not meant to be a confrontational inquiry, I just was surprised that bans were being handed out for chat infractions, and I don’t want to experience another one, and if that means never swearing in WoW again, I will have to watch myself.
Thank you.
(I have edited this inquiry because people are suggesting my theoretical question (which did contained censored swearing) could be against the forum ToS, again I am not interested in being confrontational or rude so I have removed it).
Edit 2: I am deleting this post because I have received the answer I was looking for. Take care everyone.
Edit 3: Apparently I can’t delete this post, so I will be leaving it here but no longer responding. Take care everyone.
Profanitty is never a excuse masked or other wise If you need to use profanity ingame dont use it its rated T for everyone but that doesnt excuse excessive profanity.
Swearing is indeed disallowed, no matter what. There’s a filter, sure, but it’s there because people don’t follow the rules and will swear anyway. It’s not there as a license to cuss.
I have added a very specific situation where the language is being used very casually, not in anger, and not towards anyone else. This is the only type of circumstance I am concerned about.
I have censored the words here in the interest of not using the actual words on the forums. In game I am suggesting the full words were used.
As you have learned, it is. If you got a suspension for “salty language”, mean you have been tagged before. I’d figure the first couple of silences, you would have gotten the hint.
My understanding is Blizzard is not longer using silences.
The language I used earlier was sometimes in anger. Again, I am not appealing my suspension here, or even interested in discussing it. I am asking a very specific question.
I was away from the game for more than two years. Back then I did receive a couple of the doubling silences. I came back a month ago was was more cavalier with language than I should have been and was suspended.
Profanity, masked or otherwise, is not allowed in-game or on these forums. I suggest you remove the censored words. The idea is to keep your foul mouth to yourself as in saying them out loud while looking at the computer but don’t type them into the game.
hey blizz why is Grobb having over 4 hr. wait times just to log in when aparentily that what the layers was sapos to solve it was a pritty dumb idea if it cant deal with an over poped server that was encuraged by Blizz
