Love is but one aspect of life that is among the hardest to explain.

Well Ben, your word could be a body part or a donkey, others could actually be referring to a female dog, a cat, a rooster, the short version of the name Richard...
It is the context we use them in that makes them swear words.

I think the thing to remember is, would you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Think the answer would probably be no, not if you had any respect for people in the world. Open chat is supposed to be kept clean, some of the words being thrown ito this melting pot arent actually swear words but I'd question anyone being banned for it being the first time they swore or cussed.... unless it was a bad word.... I think the reason people may have been banned is because of repeat offending and it just happened to be a weak word that got you finally banned. Im all for bans for cussing and even though i know in the past i have indeed swore and cussed in open chat i think it is a problem in the game and for excessive offenders i believe banning is in order. I dont think for one slip you should be banned however repeat offending isnt going to be tollerated by staff.
So ask yourself was i banned for a one off? answer honestly and i think you will find unless its a really bad word then the answer would be no.
Just my view, the great thing about a forum is people are entitled to their own opinion
Respect my views
