Guildie Banned For 14 Days

My guildie has never been banned before, but received a 14 day ban for the use of "inappropriate language.” I do not understand why he was given that serious of a ban for “inappropriate language” in the first place.

While this “episode” was happening I was in the same district as both of the people involved. The other person was saying some really bad stuff about My guildie and was just being mean to him. My Guildie Of course retaliated to defend himself, which NEITHER of them said anything that deserved a ban. It was your ADVERAGE GW fight about who was better than the other. I just thought is was another random GW fight, never would have imagined for one second that anyone would get banned for that, seeing as these fights happen ALL the time in GW.

The SAME things that my guildie said I have indeed said before but NEVER got banned. I never thought to take screenshots of the conversation, like I said these fights happen all the time. I do not agree that he should have been banned over this issue, especially not a 14 day ban, when he has never been banned before, and same to the other person involved IF he got a ban.

On a side note, I don’t think they need to ban people for “inappropriate language” when there is a “chat filter” in game, unless racial slurs are used . If your chat filter is off then YOU put yourself at risk for hearing “inappropriate language.” I truly don’t know ONE person that doesn’t use some form of “inappropriate language” in this game. SO, if your going to ban one person for some “inappropriate language” being used then you should therefore ban EVERYONE that uses “inappropriate language” thereafter.

I was actually there when it happened, and I didn't see anything that would even call for such a severe ban like that. Let me put it this way, there were no racial slurs going around, in fact, the guy that started it with said guildie was saying a lot of horrible stuff, yet, I bet he hasn't been banned yet.

Even if our guildie deserved to be banned for language, it shouldn't have been a 3rd offense ban (which is 14-21 days). I realize that anet may have the discretion to do whatever they feel for bans, but this is more than a bit ridiculous for saying something as simple as the f word or whatever. I feel like this is a complete failure of the report system as a whole, we've had people that have come into a outpost, spammed the n word and whatever racial slurs they could get their hands on and guess what? They don't get banned.

We have already put up a support ticket appealing the ban, but I doubt we will get our voices heard because of some stupid technical crap.

GG Anet.. -.-

There is nothing we can do here. All your guidlie can do is contact support.

I'll point out that perhaps there was more being said back in forth in PMs that resulted in the banning, and it might be that the person had priors that are not common knowledge but are in the ANet database.

In any event, it is not appropriate to start these sorts of topics on our forums because it is impossible to get or to know the full story.
