Are you serious?
I just got logged out, because i might have said the F word a bit too much, and banned for 167 hours? What the kitten?
What kind of system are you guys running, in NORMAL games, you get muted for 24/48 hours for saying the f word or something offensive, but being BANNED FOR 7 DAYS IS ABSOLOUTELY RIDICULOUS.

Im a pottymouth, and im reframing from my cursing on this post, you cant ban people because of their nature and their potty mouth, atleast send them a warning if people are getting offended.
what you’re saying is 1 person out of the thousands on that server is offended by some of my language, okay lets ban him for 7 days.
That’s stupid! that is so stupid!!
You have no idea!

I’ve spent alot of money on this game, gem store etc and you repay me with a 7 day ban for a few words said, not even directed at anyone?

Go look at what i said, post it here, and let the community decide, myself as a hardcore player that plays nearly 6-7 hours a day because i dont have a life and i love this game am absoloutely outraged.

You must see this from our point, that’s 7 Dailys, that’s 7 transmution stones, 7 jugalugs of karma?
Do that math. Im trying to farm for karma, and you guys arent friggin helping!

ANYWAYS BACK TO THE TOPIC

This is unfair. Please read over this and post your replies… i know alot of people are kitten ed off for being banned for swearing.

You were suspended for two weeks, because you were suspended a couple of weeks ago for very offensive language. There is an escalating system for time-outs based on both recent and full-time account history.

Last time you were suspended for crude sexual references of a very offensive nature. This time, you were suspended for hate speech. Read the Rules of Conduct and the UA. You can’t continue using offensive sexual references (and I don’t mean an occasional F-bomb) or insulting TWO different races in a single sentence indefinitely. If you continue down that path, your account will be terminated.

So think before writing things in chat. And serve your suspension, because it will not be lifted or reduced given the nature of your comments and your account history. Because yes, we can and will ban the habitual “pottymouth” (as you call yourself) for the good of the game as a whole.

You’re all newbs, after consulting a GW2 team member, i have had my ban lifted, due to their evidence was not clear enough to ban someone on constitutional rights.
Win.

Just a note to point out that we do not reinstate for “constitutional rights.” U.S. Constitution Amendment #1 refers to right to free speech and places restrictions on the government in relation to preventing free speech. It does not guarantee anyone the right to “free speech” on a private game server.
