OK, I think I'm starting to see a pattern here.

I'll come clean and say that one of my alts has been warned about language.
Not sure which language, given that I speak English and I see nothing but Russians around.
I've asked for clarification, which words or concepts caused a GM to poke me.

But the pattern comes down to "harassment".
Are these guys feeling harassed by a single pilot in a 1 person corp?

In an unrelated note, good luck Kimi in Monaco.

Words and concepts are likely not the issue, but how they're phrased and who they're directed at. Saying a four-letter-word is meh. Calling someone a four-letter-word... depends on how creative you are.

Yes there is a button to push that takes care of this:

Terminate.

Would you like a kitten?

That was my assumption. Troll factor was obvious. But you never know, there's always the newbie GM. Or given my culture and location, maybe I've missed the point entirely.

I believe using lose and loose improperly should get you a 2 week ban.

The point is that you're not allowed to harass other players. Numbers are not a factor.

I normally communicate that I find the language to be offensive and inappropriate especially if mine or other kids are around. Normally that works but if it doesn’t then I send the kids away with their mom and then I get nasty. Either they get an arse whooping or I do if it comes down to that.

It always is determined by the specific circumstances. I dont worry to much about chat in game because I use a headset and dont let my children read whats on the screen. Ignore button works great in game but you dont get one of those in real life.

On a serious note, swearing is a vital and integral part of the english language only when it is directed at some one to insult or provoke then it becomes derogatory.

Your about as much use as a condom dispenser in the Vatican.

Yes there is a button just for this purpose, OP.

While you are in-game, press twice

Ctrl-Alt-Delete

You petition will be sent to CCP.

People using "alot", or the far worse "allot", drive me nuts. Folks, it's "a lot".

You can also just shut up and not be a childish little tattle tale. Lol...report bad language. What has happened to humans?

OP offended by bad language.

Methinks Eve is not the game for OP.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

You can shoot at them and blow their stuff up....but you better not SAY anything that makes somebody feel bad....

Shut up. You humans are pathetic. If you can't handle ignoring text or muting chat in a video game, how do you expect to accomplish anything in real life?

I would imagine there are a few Eve players who probably will never understand real life....but the point is still the same.

Nah, you can be busted for both — the harassment clause isn't limited to any particular method.

Alternatively, look at it this way: the OP was trying to troll some poor carebears, but they used his own weapons against him in a fine display of meta-game jiu jitsu, and now he's here to whine about how his tactics blew up in his face. You got outplayed, OP. Live with it.

Potty words are allowed in game, so long as they aren't used in a derogatory fashion to the point of harassment. This is Eve not Hello Kitty Online.

You also realize there is a mission to save a prostitute from her pimp right?
