Defamatory, derogatory or otherwise malicious chat, regardless of whether or not a language filter picks it up, is a romper room no-no.
I was referring to my own mother by giving someone permission to go ahead and do whatever to her. I guess he's seen her before.

General chat is for chatting about whatever. They aren't going to police it as long as someone isn't spamming advertisements, racial slurs,

If someone doesn't like gen chat they can simply leave it. This is not bioware's problem.

Wrong. Chat is not spam. If I post a 7 line recruitment every 15 seconds, I'd call that spam. People having conversations is not spam. Use another chat channel if you can't handle it.

What about for hackers? Been putting in a lot of tickets. Not seeing much in the way of action/bans.
I am interested in doing some podcasting work in my free time. Specifically, the subjects I am interested in podcasting about are video games and sports. If you have a podcast and are looking for help from an experienced broadcaster, please send me a PM.

They might have told you, but when you report someone they generally tell you they'll look into it and that you won't get any further updates into the matter.

If it's just an annoying conversation, there isn't anything actionable. It's just annoying.

It's better than the version you get in Trade chat in WoW. Let's all do movie titles followed by the word "a-n-a-l".

Translated:
"I want General chat catered to my particular interests, I don't care if other people are entertaining themselves and each other with good natured sillyness I WANT WHAT I WANT and I want BW to force other players to only speak about things I deem acceptable."

General Chat (last time I checked) was for....General Chat. It's not "reserved" for selling things( /trade channel is a thing, you know) and it's not reserved for group making.

Maybe you should just make your own custom passworded VIP channel where you can dictate the content to your little heart's desire.
