Ever get reported for inappropriate language?
Bryant Again
I've been banned for many a feat, but "naughty language" hasn't been one of them.

My guild leader does not allow us to mention Canada. Unless, we are insulting it.

I don't swear very often myself and if I do it's usually out loud, by the time I would have thought to commit the words to the chat window, the impulse has passed. I don't find swearing all that offensive and in 2+ years of playing I only ever reported on person who thought it was funny to take every quest from the first reaper in the UW and spout racist abuse at the rest of the party.

I don't use not like foul language, have the basic chat filter on and never had problems with a ban. Simple.

Yeah I got banned a couple times. One time I just said the N word and didn't even direct it anyone, I was using it in a context where I was trying to explain something and some trigger happy report person felt the need to report me.
I'll never understand people who get offended by words that are meant for good.
I love swearing to an extent where I'll just swear in real life for kicks and giggles for a lengthy amount of time. I'm mature enough to use these words in a context that they are not aimed at anyone.
I swore a lot more in game though, back when Grotto was a bit more full. Hell I would tell full fledged pron stories. Most people just can't take the heat!

Almost reported a member of my guild yesterday for using a 3-letter word referring to Japanese people right as we entered the Vinanuh Square mission... (this forum does not censor that word, but I chose to edit it out anyway)
Only reason I didn't is that I was too focused trying to figure out what was going on.
Honestly, the older you get, the less excuses you can make for using language like that. GW is a social game, not a soap box for iconoclastic hate mongers, nor even for the chronically rude or socially inept.

All chat off = happy gaming.

I got threatened to be reported for calling a w/mo a dipshi* for running into a a fort by himself at thirsty river, he told me "not all of us live in a getto scruf", LOL i lived in wales, but yeah good times (2 years ago)

Nope, I've never been reported/banned for inappropriate language. I don't use it in chat. (On TS, that's a different story sometimes - LOL) But I may make someone mad one of these days when I announce to beggars "FREE MONEY!!! See Ipillu Whupwup in Whitman's Folley!" (which is a smart-a** way of saying "go out and kill stuff.") I've been called a scammer and a few less flattering things when I've done that.
I won't normally report someone for the one-time thing, but when someone is on a tirade and spewing it out, it's gonna get the /report stick.

I swear at stupid people in RA all the time if they don't bring res signets and no one reported me yet :P

I never got banned for bad language, but I don't use bad language for the sake of insulting people, I just use bad language because I'm a foul mouthed bad-ass. Only thing happened to me is guru posts getting deleted because of dirty jokes :P.

I cuss like a sailor and have never so much as gotten a warning. Actually got someone *else* banned for claiming to be an ANet employee, he was /whispering everyone to stop swearing or else he'd ban us. I guess the bozo played too much WoW, where GMs will casually message you over the course of the game, and thought ANet did the same.
Personally I think that if you get banned *just* for language you either pushed your luck or some people at ANet have really thin skins and you had the misfortune of having them make the call.

I've never been reported - but then again the only 4-letter word I tend to use is: "Noob"! 
boogerboy72
ive had ppl pm me ingame about how im a fag and like to f-goats. this was due to me kicking someone from a pug cause his build was horrid. needless to say they got reported.
i dont report ppl unless they offend me. and im very hard to offend. its the racial/religious slurs that get me.

"Ever get reported for inappropriate language?"
is that the thread title?
YOU KNOW when you use inappropriate language correct?
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/How_to_report
someone check up on logs to see what was said and how it was said before a ban. now you can complain and cry all you want here. but the fact remains that you were banned for a reason.
OC im assuming you were banned because if the report was unfounded then you would never even know about it.

No.
Swearing in a populated area is just dumb. Doing so with guildies/friend in PM etc is fine.

But back on track, the language filter is there for a reason. Arenanet really has no reason hand out bans for something that some players find offensive that they can just turn off.
I've never been banned for it.
max gladius
language filter has a reason yes, but the main reason ppl get banned for language is when they go around it, not providing examples, we all know what i mean, but "avoiding the filter" is against the UELA or whatever...
ive had a few guildies take 3 day vacations for language, personally i havent, cause i tell it as it is, no abbreviating here, filter me all u want....
my only bans have been for character names, some ppl have no sense of humor i guess....

I don't see why anyone would get worked up at all about this. After a brief skim over the 4 pages of this thread, not one person here that I have seen has given an account of being banned for "inappropriate language."
If their own expressed rules aren't enough to quell the fears, the replies to this thread alone should be proof that Anet makes the distinction between socially-acceptable cursing and verbal abuse. For all the reports that have been filed for casual cursing, not one of them seemed to have actually resulted in action taken. It does not matter if you get reported, if you aren't verbally abusing anyone or being a filthy racist using the N-word you have nothing to worry about… and even that probably only results in a ban in context-specific situations.

The language filter is great in theory but can snip out valid parts of words.
For example, Damned Clerics become ****ed Clerics and Cockatrice Staff becomes ****atrice Staff.
I've never been banned.

I was in The Kodash Bazaar American District 1 a couple of nights ago and some people were making fun of Jewish people. That's when I made my first report.

People whine on here about being banned all the time, but I've never seen a case where all the details came to light and it was an unfair ban. ANET seems pretty fair about it, IMHO.

The chat filter is there for a reason. I just like to see all the little kiddies trying to be all big and type *giggle* naughty words using a ridiculous number of dots and spaces to get it past the filter.

I wonder if it's not a tradition to insult Jews at Kodash - everytime I land there that's what they're doing, and it -really- annoys me. At least there's the report feature now.

i dont use the report system, it encourages Guildwars comunity to act like the runescape comunity.
i never swear in a online game, if something goes wrong i just say some curses in real life, doesnt bother anyone.

i cant tell you how many times ive been reported for that, but i personally dont think it should be a reportable offense considering there is a chat filter. If you dont like swears, turn it on. simple really.

Nope, but I went to town on reporting gold-selling bots the other day.

Most people I've talked to get banned when they taunt people they beat in Hero Battles so the guys get annoyed and report them.

No.
As bad as my potty mouth is, I'm generally not stupid enough to say something in local that I know is more than likely going to offend someone.
For everyone who keeps saying that, Gaile has already posted way back when that that isn't an excuse and it doesn't give you the right to say something inappropriate.

The filter is there to protect the kiddies/easily offended, but that does not make it okay to talk like that.
That being said however, I do cuss (both in game and at the game) and I have never been reported or even had anyone ask me to do otherwise.

I came back the next day banned.

I have been reported for swearing at people, but have never been banned. Honestly, if you have not swore at someone or gotten pissed at some guy in this game you have not experienced it fully

I've had people warn me a couple times, but I have conditioned myself with a filter. Any curse words are translated into: "Bloody flaming monkey poo!!"
No exceptions.
Makes for some interesting situations.

Hmm guy just told me he reported me then set me to ignore.
Didnt say one bad word so dont get how that will be verbal abuse. All I did was call him immature and told him to grow up because he was talking shit in RA an dreported a guy for calling him a bitch.
I cant get banned for that can I?
