Or is a banning for use of "inappropriate language" absolutely ridiculous? Chat filter, there is one on the game for gods sakes.
I may be whining about this because I just got served a seventy two, but, even so. Anyone else agree with me?
A guy in ab (who woulda thunkit in ab really?) Called me a queer, to which i responded that he was a homophobe, to which he told me to shut up before he comes to my house, rapes my mother, and bones my dog. So, I told him to shut his C-ck holster before I come over there and f___ start his mouth, he reported me. I think that they should review the chat log too on reports such as this, if someone uses deliberately offensive and "inappropriate" language, then reports someone else for such, their report should be disregarded imo.
I'm not being a typical whiner because my account is currently temp banned, infact, I'm okay with serving my temp ban because of the way the rules currently are set up, I just wish the banning process and rules would be reviewed and revised for the future, for the benefit of all.
Is it just me?

Well if what you are saying is true, and that guy did report you, hes probably banned too, because they will check the logs, my guess is someone else in the AB reported you for it,
See here is your lesson, next time instead of mouthing off, just use the /report then the /ignore and that will = problem solved.

Chat filter is not a license to violate the EULA. Of which you agreed to not use foul language.
Ban appropriate.

I got banned/warned constantly on LOTRO for swearing, and when I told the GM's they should just stfu and turn on the filter, he responds with "its not in-game as an excuse for people to swear" or something dumb.
Not to mention most MMO's are rated teen or mature, at which age i'd assume being subject to swearing is perfectly normal, unless the person likes living in a bubble. (and then as already said, if you don't like seeing swearing, turn on the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing filter)

My guess is that you took it too far with the second rude remark.
Had you just kept it at RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO holster you should have been fine.

I don't think you should get a ban because your right there is a chat filter which should be used for the players with virgin eyes that report you

If someone reports you in local, Anet will look through alliance, guild, and whisper chat for offenses even though the person reporting you had no access to those chats.
This means that if you merely dislike someone and false report them for language violations, there is a good chance that they will eat a ban for a language violation.

However on these forums and in these games, there are people out there so immature that all they do all day long is sit there and wait for someone to do something that they might interpret as a personal offence. And when they hear it! OMG OMG they have to report it, because it's their duty, they live of the harm and punishment they get to apply to others for "breaking the rules". It's their only satisfaction, the climax of the day. They've been useful to society, they've detected the f word in a sentence and asked for bans/revenge/retaliation/etc.
For any mature person on this planet, the f word is just that: a word like any other.

Further reinforcing my point, because does the EULA not say you have to be a certain age and such to play this game?
I'd hope this age requirement is intended to set a level of expected maturity.

Ahhhh the beauty of playing with people on vent. I can rage and swear all i want!!!!!!!
Its awesome. As for swearing, its all just bullshit. Not being ironic but it is. Its completely a matter of if the kid your playing against is a big enough prick to report you, and if Anet randomly decides to look over and accept the report ban. I've sworn up and down and cussed a storm and slurs everywhere in all chat and been told many times I've gotten reported. Never been banned. Just like ive gone afk and farmed so much that ive been reported as a bot and leecher many times, nothings every happened.
Its completely random.
I mean i'm on vent with guildies/friends so much that if i type something its either to buy something, cuss someone out, or join in random all chat fun. I mean my chat logs should be filled with nothing but that, But whatever.
I have 3 other accounts i could play on till temp ban goes away. Then i got a week ban to spar before i get even close to a perma ban.
If you get perma'd for a swearing, you'd have to be just standin in town all day swearing and harassing people over and over. Which at that point you deserve it.
As for being reported from AB thats just like ironic, considering its full of that shit all the time.
What you need is a like a ban for taunting. Like fighting in hockey. You both sit your 5 minutes, and if you get instigating then you're gone for the game.

I would like MORE people banned for being unable to have even a modicum of self control.
So my point was: I don't agree with you. Ban appropriate.
That being said since I know you will jump to this conclusion: I do not report people for language. Still doesn't change the facts that the rules are there, the rules are used, and the rules are enforced.
Or maybe you will understand this response instead: /notsigned.

And though you're suddenly showing signs of paying attention I find it hard to believe that you were previously doing so even though you say you've "read perfectly fine".
Let us all bow our heads in prayer, and let us gain the power and highhorseness to develop that which will allow us to have "even a modicum of self control" in a game that glorifies binge drinking, gluttony, partying, and genocide of different species.

You can defend a position even if you don't practice that position yourself.
As I said, I don't personally care if you use foul language. I won't even report you for doing so. I even use it myself.

@ OP , what you said is kind of over the top, I probably would have reported you, or just LOL'd you to a rage. 
To me the Inappropriate Language /report option is directed towards obnoxious players who keep running their mouth and racial comments, not so much the foul language. But threatening another player, like the OP did, is not just foul language. Based on what the OP wrote, I agree with the ban.

I agree with everything Kumu Honua has said. If you can NOT control yourself on a mature level then you deserve your suspension. There is no reason why anyone should be saying "ni--er", "mother f-cker", "f-cking b-tch" ect, ect. No reason at all.
I won't deny that I report at least 1-3 people a day for "inappropriate language", "racial slur", "account sharing", ect ect (I have only failed maybe 4 or 5 of my 100+ reports on getting suspended/perma'd).
Having said that, I do my part in keeping trolls at bay to keep GW a somewhat (Notice!! Keyword being somewhat!!) cleaner place to play.
Anyways. To everyone else hating on Kumu Honua for wanting/agreeing that the rules are fine/he approves of them and that he disagrees with what you are saying by a nicely worded counter-argument statement: grow a maturity level :]
edit: this is the perfect example of what I mean by the "grow a maturity level" line (said in post #28 of this page).
