Forum appeal no response

Hello

I have sent an appeal on 2 occasions because of unjust cultural infractions. I posted twice about something that’s entirely normal in Europe but apparently can’t be discussed in a mature manner on the other side of the Atlantic.
In one case I even double checked the ToS to make sure my post would be valid on the boards. In my opinion it was. Apparently consuming vast quantities of alcohol is just fine cfr. the drunkard title but other legal drugs are taboo? How am I supposed know that?

The other was about Sylvari exploring their sexuality in a thread that was about Sylvari exploring their sexuality … Apparently hitting nails on heads, while on topic in a thread with a very clear title will result in an infraction … To put in perspective, yesterday I discussed the exact same topic with someone I just met because it is just not taboo anymore here.

Because I refuse to take responsibility for not knowing American cultural limits, I sent two appeals for those two cultural infractions. I never received a response, neither a confirmation nor revocation of my infraction.

We don’t follow “American” cultural values. We try for _global_cultural values. That means that what plays in Peoria may not play in Poland, and we therefore try for the more sensitive levels.

Guild Wars 2 players come from around the world, from different cultures, nations, ages, genders, political and religious persuasions… Try for a more global view and take the first infraction as an opportunity to better understand our standards, which I assure you are reasonable.
