Its time for a new warning.

I understand letting the occasional curse slip and dont mind swearing all that much, unless its incredibly vulgar. Lately though, the racial slurs, and homophobic terms are thrown around with such casualness that something has to be said. The bans need to start flying fast and furious to rid the servers of these people. I know it will not happen though, it hurts the bottom line, and, as people will point out, its the internet, I am supposed to "deal with it". Im also supposed to use my filter, etc.

I would like to think I can trust people to be civil enough so I dont have to use my filter. I guess that isnt the case. I hate to leave the game over this, but, it appears not a lot is being done. Maybe it is time for a new front page warning about civility, and, suspensions.

Regardless of the situation, a violation of our policies is still a violation of our policies, Mihnigun. And we appreciate those in our community who take the time to report these violations to us, so they can be properly investigated, educated, and/or actioned for the situation.

We do try to educate most offenders - ultimately, we want everyone to enjoy playing the game. However, those that continue to violate our policies time after time will find that they have less and less time to play, up until they find their account is no longer accessible.

I encourage you, and everyone on your realm, to submit a petition each time you see a violation. As we are a reactive service, our Game Masters may not ever know of a violation if it is never reported to them. We do not expect you to "deal with it," nor should you have to. While we can't tell you the precise actions we take, trust me when I say we investigate and action all those who violate our policies when they are reported to us.

If you are unfamiliar with how Account Actions accrue or are given, you may also want to check out our Account Penalty overview for additional information.
