vulgarity in the chat

Post by carmens »

This is more of a question, but if the answer is yes, I'll post with the correct form.

Is there a rule against over use of vulgarity in the gameroom chat? This guy (to be named later) uses in a lot of games. I'm not angel and don't have virgin ears, but it's overboard and usually unnecessary. Sometimes my kids like to watch me play games and I don't feel that I should have to hide the chat.

I know what you are going to say, rate him and then foe him, and I will. But, is there a point when it's too much. If this is something that is not usually addressed, i'll drop it.

Vulgarity? No. Abusiveness? Yes.

Keeping in mind that it's easy to be vulgar without being abusive and it's equally easy to be abusive without being vulgar.

We must be careful not to impose to many rules and restrictions, bad behavior should not be tolerated. Setting a defination for bad behavior could be a bad thing though. the more concise/strict/codified the rules are, the more open they are to abuse. IE if you know exactly what the rules are you could indulge in behavior which is not against the rules, but is most definitely against the spirit in which the rules were formed/written.

Sorry chaps as you are most probably well aware by now, am usually rather blunt. So don't know whether I'm adequately getting my point across, not used to writing/suggesting emotive spiritual concepts.

Bluntly but woefully inadequately. More concise rules can lead to more devious within the rules abuse/misuse of the system/site.

Yes, I know I will cop heaps of ridicule for attempting to be serious for once in my life. Bring it on.

There are no official rules on it being illegal but only a bunch of hidden ones which they invoke at random.

Indeed, it "promotes flaming" and such nonsense.

Moved to Q&A since this is more of a question and not yet an abuse report. Feel free to make a formal report if you have been clarified about this. For this thread, you can continue to make it more of a general question.
