Ok, I loved that video.

The point i am failing to make is that CCP have a very strange way to go about warning and banning people who use 'foul language'.

(Forgetting for a moment that their policy also says that ANY infraction you EVER make in the game stacks against you and that there is no statue of limitations on ANYthing you do.)

They basically give us the tools to swear and be vulger, they give us the scenarios and set the scene for us to be mad bro. They have even advertised stealing from people. The only effort they put in is an ad hoc attitude when handing out warnings and short bans. Surely this is phoning it in a bit. What a flimsy policy that it is only enforced when/if someone complains.

Little experiment... click 'people and places' tab, and search ANY vulger or rude word you can think of... ANYTHING and lets see if CCP has done anything about it...

This game is a sandbox. Thus the content is what the players make it. Ergo CCP should either be F***ing hot on it and/or set filters, OR relax their expectations of a PEGI rating and allow it as something their paying player base does.

I am trying to say that CCP have to either GET REAL about the 'foul language' policy OR relax the rules. The current system is unfair to say the least and honestly draconian bordering on redundant!

PEGI 12

(Please don't start the fallacious argument that a rating doesn't imply target audience.)



"Please don't make the obvious, but correct rebuttal" you mean to say, Cheesemonkey. There's a difference between gearing a game to the youngest possible audience, and keeping it open so that it can draw as many as possible, with limited scorn.

That being said, I agree with your initial point; the level of censoring in this game has gotten ridiculous these days. I'm constantly using words that I don't even think of as being more than mildly inappropriate, and finding them to be blocked. That and some of the alliances and corps that are forced to change their name, is just stupid. Devs need to HTFU.

I love the vulgarity rules myself. It's always fun when a gank target cuts lose with a string of foul language in local. One quick petition later, and you've given another reason to harvest tears.

It'd be a bit hypocritical of CCP to punish someone for swearing.
