I get the top bit, but suddenly this bottom part appeared, wouldn’t bother me if not for the [PERMANENT_BLOCK] part, mind filling me in??

Looks like a bug. My interpretation is that you were suspended for racial slurs for 32 more hours. The [PERMANENT_BLOCK] part is likely just the standard links they give you to look over during your suspension.

Yeah I wasn’t sure since my countdown timer froze, but it’s begun moving again.

antisocial doesn’t imply you don’t talk to people, that would be non-social, anti-social means you are against society/are malevolent towards it. Reporting people rather than blocking them is an example of antisocial(or maybe self-righteous) behaviour.

EDIT: inb4 I get another “Infraction” for speaking out against the empire.

You really can’t be taken seriously if you aren’t going to discuss the subject with an even hand.

Believe me I’ve tried. whether for or against the curse-filter(and other things) it’s hard to ignore the arguments that it’s redundant in a lot of ways.

A huge knee-jerk reaction in my opinion, it seems like they’re selectively enforcing the EULA, probably doesn’t bother them at all that 13 year old’s are playing, hell what’s the difference money’s money right? the sad part is there’s nothing you can do about it at this point, you can’t cancel your sub, you don’t have one, they have your money, gg end of story.

Gaile, how come you seem to be the ONLY representative trying to reply to our posts?

This is my area, this is where I help. Others respond in other forums.

One customer support rep to handle ALL of the issues flooding this section of the forum? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Why did they put in a medium and high chat filter in the game if they ban people for inappropriate language? Why, oh because they have to put it in the terms and services so they can have any and every reason to ban any player, take them away from the game. I’ll probably be able to confirm if Arena Net gives me logs of all servers All/Map chat/ any chat logs that 95% of any players has said inappropriate language once in their time on GW2. Why aren’t they banned for 3 days?

I understand that children or sensitive adults don’t enjoy swearing or “un-tasteful” behavior, but hey guys….There’s a filter. A filter so you don’t have to see any profanities! If someone is mad at you and is throwing bad boo boo words at you, guess what! Click that high filter button and you’ll be seeing —-—- all day and your clean mind will be saved.

Don’t be jacka—es and report people because they said a bad word. My ban was for racial slurs, yes I did use a racial slur, yes it could have easily offended someone. Yet the manner in which I was using it was in pure jest in a PvP match with only 10 in the audience. The one who said “reported” as soon as I said the word N***a proceeded to “troll” me after I destroyed him 500- 100 in a tournie match. This was a mad boy who couldn’t care less about the context of the word, and probably wasn’t offended in the slightest but wanted to be the new biggest internet sensation troll 2012.

Is your argument here that you truly believe you shouldn’t have received a ban for uttering a racial slur in public chat?

Does it really offend you that much? or anyone? it’s ridiculously redundant that these words filter to “Kitten” and then you get banned for saying “kitten” lol.

Does anyone else find it odd that sometimes all of the Arena Net people just disappear?

Lol this.

painkiller.4738:

Seriously, there is nothing we can do to hold them accountable as they already have our money. So far its still nothing, my friend. I hope you have better luck than I’m having. Gaile on here seems to really be trying to help, but the support team is non existent.

Aside from spreading word of poor support and awful EULA-nazism, you mean.

Agree with this post completely, too much time spent trying to micro-manage misdemeanour’s and not enough time spent retrieving hacked accounts/dealing with gold-traders.

Al Zheimer.2305:

I suggest the creation of a “pottymouth” server, with an “18+” warning and where people can say whatever they want and name their characters whatever they want.

Seriously.

I think Arena Net would save itself a lot of work and keep some players a lot happier if they did that.

I can dig it.

ZoLMiTRiPTaN.4567:

I don’t think anyone was acting out of spite when they reported Gear.6274 for letting loose with the “n” word in public chat. That’s a bona fide offensive word.

Here you go again "letting loose’’ you are acting out of spite right now tarnishing my good name!

I didn’t target anyone nor did I even spell it correctly. Clown.

Daedalus.9382:

I don’t promote groundless indecencies and social ignorance but i am a realist.

So it’s OK if a player that represents your guild lets loose with the “n” word multiple times in public chat? Are you defending his actions? His ban was justified, and I’m fairly certain ANet can pull the chat logs and they’ll be 10 times worse than just using the “n” word a few times as evidenced by the infamous reddit thread.

I’ll repeat was linked and explained by Gaile Gray: Your warning was in the EULA.

There’s a word for people like you, I’d use it but i’d probably be banned from the forums for it(it ends in rider) and as for ’’It’ll probably be much worse!11!" you can assume that based on how well you know me, right? I legitimately used the N word spelt with a casual A maybe 3 times in chat. You EULA-nazi.

meloncash.6798:

The mental midgets are the ones using racial slurs in a game and deserve to be perma’d

Ooft, someone got called names at school.

Thank you Daedalus for being the only person thus far in the thread to take in my points objectively and not jump on EULA-nazi bandwagon.

We all agree to the EULA and even with the profanity filter there are still things said that violate it, trouble is we all click accept and mindlessly agree in our rush to enter the game!
Guessing are all these people that have 3 day or even 2 weeks bans did something against eula?

The racist “Gear.6274” was banned for saying the “N” word ingame. You don’t need to read a EULA to know that will obviously get you banned. What a clown…

He’s a clown, but to be honest this whole banning due to EULA violation is a tad rediculous. All so that some mental midget offended by the term feels warm and toasty inside.

I bet you walk on water, right?
I bet you’ve never swore nor used an inappropriate word in your life, right?

glass houses etc you bigot.

Didn’t spell it nor use it as a racial slur, get your facts straight.

rofl @ you defending which media player you use, confirmed for neckbeard, we done here.

paid good money for this game, and I didn’t pay it not to be able to play for days on end over stupid misdemeanour’s with no warning system in place. /rant

You skipped over the EULA, didn’t you? Let me direct you to a post by Gaile Gray that concerns your exact “issue”: CLICK ME

bro, don’t try to tell me you read the entire EULA of everything you ever install.

First off, I’m not your “bro”. Secondly, I do read EULAs and RoCs because, quite frankly, I want to know if I have any recourse if the software screws up and I’m left in the dark. I like being an informed consumer. You should try it out.

Firstly, not going to respond to the flame-bait, captain high ‘n’ mighty, secondly, you have fun reading through page 210 of the iTunes EULA, think I’m going to go do something more fun, like watch paint dry or something.

Bellok.4180:

If it’s what I think you are saying then that word you were saying I can’t even take seriously because the group of people it refers to misuse the term much more liberally than we do.

Exactly, if it makes it any better, I’m spelling it with an A as opposed to ER…..

No offense but you didn’t get the hint when you/if you realized you can’t fully turn off the mature language filter?
The game is rated Teen for a reason. If you want to curse, you skype.

didn’t notice it honestly haven’t looked at the curse filter didn’t know it was there until i got banned.

at what point do you assume i took the time out to scour the website for the terms of service?

meloncash.6798:

None of these people will post their incident reports cause they know they said something stupid.

guilty as charged, i said “kitten” maybe 3 times over the course of 2 hours. ain’t even a slur

though they’re treating me like i dressed up as the klan and ran around town screaming it from the rooftops

3 full days for using inappropriate language, really? that’s literally how long the glitch exploiters get banned for, geeze tell me which one is worse, I’m not claiming I wasn’t in the wrong but it isn’t even made clear what the rules are and NO warnings at all are given, just bang, banned <insert generic reason here>, and surely a first offence should be no more than an hour or two at best, 3 days for a first offence, let the crime fit the time, way to drop the ball.
