It’s very obvious what word you meant to convey there, the context alone tells us that. You dancing around the word is an textbook example of masked profanity, which, if I had to guess, is why people reported your post.
As I said before, you’d do well to review the CoC in order to prevent future violations.
At the potential increase in needless punishment due speaking, and that the best means whereby one might avoid it is to just cut off communication in-game entirely.
As, then, is your declaring they’re scared.
As I am the one making this point, I categorically say it wasn’t.
I would congratulate you, but participation trophies are too ubiquitous in modernity for my taste. Not that something so simple would brook even that much.
I’m sure they do.
Why do i actually really like this idea - so much?
Quite literally this is the answer.
Give them a new server and offer free transfers to that new server. Anyone that swears will be silenced/banned. Anyone that is reported will be auto-silenced/banned. Give em their own playground to play in - and leave your loyal customer base alone.
An adult server would be pretty interesting to try out. Of course i have so many toons id need plenty of free transfers for both my horde and alliance if they didnt make my servers adult lol
I’d see “Adult” server becoming the porno server pretty quickly with how people think around these forums…
Thats why I think it would be best to have moon guard or another set of servers become the triple x adult servers. That way people can’t complain about goldshire anymore lol. Also make it 21+ age requirements with photo id or something to prove age.
Just spitballing here
That could be faked I’d think.
Yeah unfortunately. There would have to be something to prove age but im not sure right now
Well that’s the thing - just the normal servers for us normal people is fine.
Then a “restricted” server for these people that need / want it.
I feel like the “adult” (or unmoderated) server would just attract the worst of the worst - which, quite frankly, I don’t care to be around either - but not enough that I don’t just look past it, not flag/report it, and just go on with my day.
I just don’t understand the incessant desire to flag/report/ignore everyone and everything that you come across that you don’t agree with - because it “offends” you that some person literally has the audacity to not agree with something that you think.
I don’t know the answer, but certainly making it against TOS to say certain words, quite literally, disgusts me.
Y’all really think an “adult server” wouldn’t degrade into absolute human filth in record time?
From a sheer PR standpoint it would be a political nightmare to create something that allows players to be the most scumbag they can be.
You can curse as much as you ever could.
The language filter isn’t there so you can say whatever you want, it’s to block the people ignoring the rule if you don’t want to see it (or don’t want your kids seeing it.)
Join a guild. Get in discord or guild chat and say what you want. Most of the time people using profanity in general or trade are either trolling or being rude, so that’s why you’re most likely reported, not because you said a no-no word.
Just as it does to me that people think they are special and rules don’t apply to them.
Same with all of the “rules don’t apply to me” people.
I mean, non trusted guildies could report you cussing in guild chat… right?
In that other thread where post my originated, the poster I was responding too was acting like he was going to be persecuted by this change in policy. The two main reasons he gave for the belief in his future victimhood:
That’s where the social contract was going to do him in. Not “I might tell dirty jokes” or “I swear a lot” or “I /spit on players when I beat them in PVP!” It was “What if people find out I’M WHITE?”
Your point was I wanted to know his achievements. I didn’t and still don’t, because they’re not important. So, the point you were making, which was wrong to begin with, is still wrong.
No participation trophy for you.
They do.
Fascinating. Also irrelevant to our conversation, which was simply that where you claimed it to be fear I posited the alternative of needless vexation.
Whoosh.
No, my point that whatever information you might glean from his profile were it not hidden is irrelevant to the discussion at hand stands yet pertinent.
Alas, I could have made use of a new backscratcher.
Oh, I’m sure.
They could, but that’s much less likely unless you’re just being a jerk in there too.
Or ur not being a jerk but they have a vendetta against you. Ya never know.
I use profanity freely in-game in Trade Chat and LookingForGroup. I’ve been freely using profanity in WoW since 2004, and I’ve never once had a problem. Maybe some of you are just Bad Luck Brians. 
ya here is the thing the harder the crackdown the worse things get people will not want to play with eachother out of fear of being banned. but ya go ahead and add more rules making more rules and over enforcing never has went bad. ( looks at the silence punishment and the large amount of people who quit because they had that being hung over their heads) for everyones own sake quit your guilds play solo and turn off all ingame chats.
