I agree. I never curse for this reason, and for another one (Capitalization is intentional): It Is Against the Rules in Every Game And Can Get Your Account Banned. For the record, I don't swear in real life, either.

If people really have a need to curse so often then they should probably join a guild that is okay with that and use gchat to curse because not everyone likes to see the ignorance of profanity in general chat.

it's silly to report somebody for swearing; unless it's meant as a negative comment.

Fine:
Man I just had seven shots of Rum, I'm too zh!t faced to drink any more.

Bad:
You're just terro-bad at PVP, why do you even bother joining the queue; just @^&$ off.

Both used curse words, though only one is unacceptable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a side note swear words and racism have been known to be in different languages than the person they're speaking to and/or normal words such as monday.

So just because you don't see a swear you are aware of doesn't mean somebody isn't laughing behind your back. I don't know about you but I rather know what they're saying. Think about that next time you report somebody for using a curse word in a non-negative approach.

How I employ my language is up to me, my friend. Words are not ignorant and are not indicative of someone's mental abilities either. You are using another generalization to get a terrible point across. One, might I add, is riddled with holes.

Do you enjoy being prejudice? is this something common for you?

I concur good sir! For the theory of these people is that a "curse word" can only be a negative part of a sentence. Though if you look at it through glasses that have not been fogged up by peer-pressure of your co-workers, family members etc, you'll realize a crazy word called "context".

Enjoy.

It is still rude. Deny that fact, I dare you.

Swearing rarely leads to a civil argument. It turns things into massive arguments that can lead to even worse situations. People have been murdered over such things.

Swearing also does little to show maturity. If you want to discuss a situation, you can do so without swearing. A well thought out argument does far more to persuade those to your side than swearing every other word. Swearing only serves to have people look down upon you and make you seem like you're a mere child who got their favorite toy taken away.

Any sentence a person uses a swear (or curse word) in can be said without such words. Be an adult and use your head. You need to set examples for others and swearing only shows others it's okay to have an IQ of a rock as well as that it's okay to insult others. You went to school and learned to speak properly. Use what you were taught rather than devolving back into a toddler who can't speak more than a few words and most of those being swears.

Then of course, there's also the TOS. Swearing is not allowed so if you do swear, you should be reported.

All languages are incredibly expansive and vast with the number of words they have. There's so many words in it to express yourself that you don't need to resort to swearing to get that point across.

A game like this should be family-friendly - you can swear at your friends and people you want to insult in your own time, on your own chat.
