Falados Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Also used C word aswell at end of a hutball game >.> yet he only started like 3 days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashaan Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Realistically, yeah you probably can if using real curse words. No, you can't. There is a profanity filter in the game, so you cannot get in trouble for using profane language. Also OP... no, you cannot get in trouble for calling them a "nerf-herder".

Bow-Wow-Wow Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The only way I could see it being a problem is if it was consistantly done, then it could be considered harassment but for a "nerf-herder", nobody will ban you for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falados Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I know yet people still report even if it's in profanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaick Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) There's a profanity filter for a reason so no you can't get banned for swearing. Same answer for name calling. However making threats will probably get you banned. Edited January 13, 2012 by Jaick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow-Wow-Wow Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 If they say they are going to report it, just say you are RPing (which is true). If they still report you, don't worry about it, BW won't ban somebody for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoobie Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think it's a mistake to assume that just because there's a profanity filter, you won't get banned. It's not a license to be vulgar. I bet those who abuse it deliberately, or try to circumvent it, will get banned. I've seen it in other games. And of course, the "why did so & so get banned if there's a profanity filter???" question always shows up in the forums. I bet we'll see it here, too.

I'd like to you to meet pretty much every tool I ever encountered in an MMO who did just this. AFAIK they are still trucking. All GM would do is tell you to just /ignore them unless its threats. Pretty much the only reason for a GM to get involved in a vulgar person. Edited January 13, 2012 by Jaick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but who says there wasn't a forced 3 day or week vacation? I guess it depends on the game and company. I would hope that games aimed for adults would be more tolerable then lets say a game intended for a younger audience.

Kashaan Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I know yet people still report even if it's in profanity It doesn't matter if they report. You're not doing anything they would ban you for, so nothing will happen no matter how much they report you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romiz Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) - Disrupt the flow of chat in chat rooms with vulgar language, abusiveness, hitting the return key repeatedly or inputting large images so the screen goes by too fast to read, use of excessive shouting [all caps] in an attempt to disturb other users, "spamming" or flooding [posting repetitive text]. Link http://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/#section21 So yes it looks like a ban is possible. Edited January 13, 2012 by Romiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
