I guess what I want to know, how do you want me play and respond to my enemys?  Are we going 100% respectful and good.  50% mix but no vulgarity.  Or 0% anything goes(I figure this ones out).

Vulgar remarks and racial slurs, I get.  No one should be subjected to that.

Honestly, in private or vicinity chat I don't really care about the vulgarity. But there is quite a bit that if said in Gen Chat/recruitment/Help, or other public channels that I would ban, and then perma ban when it's said again. Simply because it makes the game and its community look bad to the newer players.

Not everyone wants to be subjected to epeen waving and internet tough guy talk when logging in.

At the same time it's up to the Devs to enforce this as they see fit. The lack of enforcement on some of the things said also looks bad on the game.

And what all is being policed?  Game, forums, IRC chat, twitch streams, third party web sites, killboards that are player run?  All of which have had players banned for offensives in the past.

When writing your petition include precise times, names of the offenders, and  quotes of the exact language used. It's also good practice to expand upon your feelings. What emotions do these remarks elicit from you? The more detailed you describe your pain the more likely justice will be served.

And always... Be Excellent!

well i think its clear by now that this is all because of my support ticket. sadly enought that the devs do not keep things like this confidential, but thats another story.

i think that nobody realy cares about some smacktalk, but there is a clear line between smacktalk and personal insults.
its a difference if you say things like: "run you cowards" when somebody walks from the battlefield.
but its a different thing when use things like (quote): "why dont you suck a *** zortard". this is personal. even in two ways in this case.

talking about "adults" and "trolling":
you might have noticed that its only one "faction" that is primary trolling around. and for all that corporation and alliance propaganda/drama nobody cares and we usually ignore that anyway.

trolling in factual discussions (like for example about game mechanics) or even bringing that propaganda bullshit to these discussion sections is a no go for every adult mindset. if you cant seperate that then you surely dont have a adult mindset.
just as using insults in these kinds of discussions just because you want to strengthen your position or try to let the people with another opinions look bad. that is not adult behaviour like you claimed above that you posess it. and there are plenty of that samples in this forum.
guess why less and less ppl use that forum for suggestions and other usefull talk that would help this game.

the last example is the "show" you and your friends did to this topic in Skymarshal Brandon's livestream in the twitch chat. that shows exacly your "adult" mindet that you talked about in your post. just like your spam afterwards in various public channels. i would say: the behaviour of a 12 or 15 year old at max.

i dont care about a bit smacktalk, but getting insulted in a personal way by the same ppl over and over again has its limits. so thats when that ticked happend.

I kept it confidential as much as I could, obviously I had to explain the people I warned the reason why I warned them. The fact that they make it public is something I can't really control, I hope you can see that.

As for the answer to your question Ville: I think Zortarg explained it well.

@ Zoom, I don't understand why there is any tolerance for racial, sexual, or any other type of harassment allowed on the forums or in the game. There should be no question. .. the more this is allowed to go on the worse its going to get ... I think most everyone will agree when you see people in GC or vicinity yelling about N_____ this or F__ that or suck on a _____ you ____ .. its a turn off for a LOT of players.

When these reports come to you you do NOT need to warn offenders, its in the EULA. You need to exercise your authority and start banning the offenders. I have some issues with exactly this that have not been addressed yet but you will have several tickets from me shortly for these same kind of issues.

This is a game its for entertainment its not some where anyone should feel harassed, bullied or belittled.

It needs to stop or I'm sure your going to allow deviants to drive some of the smartest people away from this game, because eventually they will stop tolerating it. 

perhaps we need an ingame profanity filter and going outside that is actionable.

It's been on our todo for a while but now it got promoted to the top of it.

If we could just get this, all would be better for the Zortargs of the world.

12 year olds can't troll like me.  I don't think you understand what fully what this is about.  I could care less about you and your efeelings.  Honestly I can take it when big old mean guys start insulting me.  I have thick skin and I don't cry myself to sleep at night.  Hate me or not, I don't care.  Call me immature, but I'm more of an adult then you'll ever be.  Its just words Zortarg in a game.  With pixels and tbh I troll you guys to stir conflict.  That's the ONLY way we get fights.  But then suddenly there's a ultimatum thrown in my face that's very vague and senseless.  I get he's tired of answering tickets. I get it.  But do these insults cut so deep you have to sacrifice your manhood and turn into cry baby mode?  Its like Richard simons walking into The Westboro Baptist Church and then complaining to the government because he got criticized.  We are not all hand in hand people who enjoy long walks on the beach and cuddling.  Some of us are rude, crude and lude.  I'm a QA inspector in construction.  My job and I am not kidding is to yell at people all day and tell them how terrible they are.  So excuse me if a little trolling gets you knickers in a bunch because you can't grow a pair and be a man about it that and I know its difficult to find an insulting nickname for Ville.
