I am quoting myself just to make sure nothing is hidden. Cooperation with Ghaldria the Almighty Ranking Player Number One and His Clan of Flying Monkeys at its fullest.

Edit : Also I voted Thumbs up 10 on this thread. Best thread ever.

24h, it's still an offensive word, even if abbreviated or dotted or replaced with asterisks

So why can they get away with it in newspapers, on tv and such? An asterix is exactly the same as when they mute part of the swear word on a song and that is classed as none offensive otherwise they wouldn't get away with it. Taking things a bit far with this ain't ya

Its an abbreviation that could literally mean anything, you are only assuming he meant a swear word and surely banning someone from an assumption is wrong as assumption is the mother of all mess ups

Not wanting to provoke any retributions, but does this not apply to Szeszej's avatar?

Gotta say it's looking silly if you start banning people for stuff like abbreviations, especially as demonstrated, as people are saying, by your own profile picture,
We all do it,

If it persists to this level then when do you stop really? Will it get to the point where we class everyday words used in substitution as offensive as well? I fluffed that up -gets reported-

People that report on this game for stuff like an abbreviation are hypocrits, most likely use the same words themselves, however report it to get someone they dislike in trouble,

If we start banning for abreviations then I think most of us should be banned for a good 3 months to catch on all the ones you'll of missed.

Also if thats the case if I said that someone proclaiming them self to be god is against my religion that worships just one god and this offends me, would that get them a ban?

Cos as far as I am aware wars HAVE been thought over religion but I don't recall one over someone saying wtf? (If anyone can correct me on this, shush, unless thats too offensive, in which case please stay quiet)

Let's be honest. That WTF isn't aimed at anybody.

When you say GTFO that is aimed at somebody.. I think this is the difference here.

Well as I stated I interpeted it as something foul so I have stated in complaints if you wish to discuss this in more detail feel free to pm as we both are going to receive warnings if we keep spamming in this thread as a mod you should know that

since people seem incapable of reading rules of complaints thread, ive taken the liberty of copy and pasting it here.....most notably, the bit at the bottom.

Complaints that may be made here:
1. offensive / insulting messages in the game or reallife threats.
2. profile breaking regulations (offensive language, text size, image etc.)
3. nick breaking regulations

Other reports or questions etc. will be punished with warning

In order to make a complaint you need to give us:

1) your id in-game (is found in 'Premium account' tab'),
2) character's name or id of a player who wrote a message that breaks the regulations, contains offensive words etc.
3) if complaint concerns message that breaks the regulations, you need to paste a link to that message ir message id (is found in link when reading a message):
http://r1.bloodwars.net/index.php?a=msg&do=view&mid=xxxxxx
xxxxxx is message

WARNING! Do NOT quote the message!
4) if complaint concerns profile or image which evidently breaks the regulations, you need firstly to send that player a message with request to change it and only if he/she refuses or doesn't reply in 24h, then you may post it here. We require your message ID and message ID of reply (if there is any)
5) send complaints on Moderators directly to Super Moderator in a private message together with exact problem description. Send complaints on Operators and Super Moderators to Administrators

If complaint doesn't regard you, do NOT post! Needless posts will be treated as spam and rewarded with a warning!

"rewards" given
