To start off, the reason for my suspension has not even been pointed out by the GM who suspended me.
I'll go ahead and glean from context that he banned me for verbal abuse, which is defined by
"excessive profanities or racial slurs ONLY". Furthermore, as I made no racial remarks that game, I will
further infer that I was banned for excessive profanities, a definition that has not been clearly
set out in the rules. So then, I must bind a colloquial definition to it, which can be found on numerous
websites. Most of these definitions refer to racism, or extreme, EXTREME profanity. I took part in neither.
I thought there was a profanity filter in this game for a reason. I thought there was an IGNORE feature for a reason.
My profanity in the aforementioned (in the report) game was part of a careful strategy to undermine the
mental workings of the enemy team. I did not know that S2 took an aggressive stance against clever
strategy. It seems to have worked, since after I started the other team's play deteriorated rapidly, and
I ended up winning the game. So, basically I was banned for INCREDIBLY extreme profanity, in the form of
words like "stupid", "dumb", "retards" (note: technically a politically correct word), and words like
"s***" and "f***". So basically, banned for saying commonplace words which, alone, have no extreme
meaning, and words that are caught by the filter, and the best part is that if the enemy team typed /ic once they could have subverted my entire strategy. I don't understand how I can be banned for this when
I hadn't a clue what you, as Game Masters, considered to be EXTREME, EXTREME vulgarity.
can i get some good lucks?
