Is there a list of words you can't say in GW somewhere?

Agreed about what is bad, but the OP did say he was a devout catholic.

Also I enjoy teasing people. Who doesn't find it entertaining to call someone else a stinking crotch monkey or a filthy tapir shit monger or an anal refugee?

I mean, it's not like I sit in Kamadan spamming shit over and over again. I get creative with it. I deal with a lot of stress, and I enjoy logging in and entertaining myself from time to time. It's cheaper than beer, and less violent than beating someone up! But apparently that's not cool. Am I really supposed to restrain myself to 19th century style comments? "Heavens to Betsy!" "Oh lawdy!" "Filthy ni^h^h^h^h^ot that one". Queen Victoria is dead!

And seriously folks, if you grew up on base, you'd also have a "warped" idea of what words are appropriate. I don't see why other people can't just have their chat filter on at all times if they're liable to get offended. It's on by default! Why touch it?

Any way, this is getting too discussiony for this forum. My goal was to find out where Anet's Thought Police stored their List of Phrases Liable To Get You Banned (Again). Apparently no such repository exists. Thanks and goodnight.

touché.
i forgot about that in my anti-religious fervor.

Nuns and I don't get along. Them bitches had rulers, and they used em. Offending them is a-ok by me.

The usual sh!+, [email protected], F$#ks lol.

He said he was Catholic, I thought I'd use a paradigm he could understand. Why are you assuming I'm Catholic?

There are things common in this culture that are generally considered 'bad' by the majority of people. I'm also amused at your use of an absolute to declare something is subjective.
I'm one person who doesn't think it's entertaining at all to spam obnoxious things to other people. Not my idea of fun, and not most people's idea of fun to be on the receiving end--if you've said stuff like that repeatedly, I can understand why people have reported you, especially if you did that to people who don't know you and your unique sense of humor.

i've already conceded the point on religion.
i don't see the hypocrisy or falseness in objectively defining something as subjective.

The OP typed the words in to get a reaction from people, or to express his frustration with something. Either way, the OP still took the time to type the thing in...

If you get banned for doing something, stop doing it

Apart from by absolute bewilderment that anyone would need to ask the question.

Is my complete astonishment that anyone would reply

Hello, I am a black person in slavery-era America. I get punished if I protest for racial equality. Should I stop?
OP wants to know what anet considers unacceptable language. unless you think that everyone has the same idea of what is morally acceptable, i am astonished at your bewilderment.

I also asked about your assumption, but I'm OK if you're not interested in answering.
Other than saying something is absolutely subjective being philosophically untenable, but that's another issue for another thread.

in missing that the OP was religious i assumed your church-related example was from your own experience rather than what it was - something he could relate to.
i won't argue with you about your philosophic viewpoint because neither of us can win.

and you are asking us why you get banned?

^^ jw if you have a toon named General Darigaz?

and this thread has ran its course imo +1

nope. anything that seeps to be an attempt to bypass the filter or is offensive will also get you a ban.

Alright, I felt that I should probably respond to this, mostly from the OP considering himself a "devout Catholic". To start with, I'm pretty sure the definition of "devout Catholic" doesn't include:

So, maybe you should reflect on what sort of morality you really align yourself to, perhaps stay awake in church at some point in time.

Or just ask people to call you what you find entertaining to tease them with. Unless I'm mistaken, I can't really think of a person who might pride themselves on being a "stinking crotch monkey" or "anal refugee"....

I'm devout in that I regularly attend, I know my heresies back to front, and I'm up to date on all matters of church policy. Please, feel free to tell me what I've said on there is unacceptable based on your knowledge of the church. I'm sure it'll be terribly funny.

Damn right I find it amusing. Stinking crotch monkey? Hilarious! Dirty butt beaver from the planet stank? Amusing beyond belief! Crap munching ass burglar? Giggles! Call me what you want and I'll come back with something right away, almost always with a smile. Some people aren't really wrapped up in their self image, and can take an insult as a joke. Maybe you can't; if so, I guess it sucks to be you, dude. You ... male rooster (seriously? can't say that either on here? damn) collecting mother of a giant peccary made of used condoms.

Look at it this way, they're just words. Words on your monitor. Words that you can ignore by putting me on ignore or relying on the word filter designed to protect your fragile, fragile mind. Have you ever been to New York? Good lord, I advise you to flee post haste, the words will poison you forever! You and that fuzzy wuzzy Podunk Wisconsin Flyover State mentality, aww, it'll be gone forever.

Hey staffers, you can lock this thread anytime, it's basically a discussion at this point. I guess I was sorta trolling, but I did want to know if there was a list somewhere. There isn't, so case closed. If you leave it open, I'm liable to start taunting people. I do that, sez Anet. Seriously, I tried to be good, but this is getting too tempting.

I am bewildered because the answer is blindingly obvious.

Most countries have these things called schools maybe you have heard of them.
Now in schools there are people who teach other people things.
In my school we learned English and mostly the English we learned was perfectly acceptable for communicating with people.
If you stick to those there isn't a problem so why ask.

It's not so much what you say, but how you say it.

A random "red engine" if when you get a lag spike, die, etc isn't a big deal.

Spaming "red engine you noob" in a whisper or talking about how you love Hitler in RA international is a bad idea.

The real test is... if your langauge is hostile and threatening, to the point where it could be constituted as a legal assault/intentional inflection of emotional distress, as defined by what a reasonable person would consider behavior "so outrageous that it is completely outside standard socially acceptable behavior."

I can see how a black guy with call his own mom "nigher" (If you catch my drift)

You can get banned for pretty much anything that is slightly offensive in real life.

If you're unlucky, you'll get banned for saying stuff such as: "You fail in real life", as some people like to make up stories how emotionally unstable they are in real life, and thus some retarded mod/dev gets emo on him aswell, and decides to ban you for a few days...

Banning system in GW fails, your best shot at not getting banned is simply turning off all chat, and simply put "PM me" at every line you decide to type in all chat.

This pretty much goes back to how the chat filter fails, and shut be able to be customized (Enter words yourself you prefer you wouldn't like to see), so the bible thumpers under us have no reason to report us when we say: "Fukcing Christ" in all chat...
