Based on the ToS, this doesn't appear to be true. I was asking as much because of some prior incidents in chat channels in game, as well as due to the fact that other players seem to feel the same way, that there aren't many rules. Apparently there are. I brought it up to protect myself from infringing on these rules by accident through seeing others display it and following suit, as much as to protect others who thought it was within the rules. The ToS clearly states that offensive and vulgar language is not allowed.


Generally, it's frowned upon. But its not like CCP is actually going to act on every report they get of "OMG HE SAID THE F WORD TO ME!!!! BAN HIM!!!".

I mean, you could petition, but the chances that CCP will do anything is slim to none. Its just not worth enforcing for CCP.

Generally, its understood that EVE online has a more adult-oriented audience(Which is actually a fact when you take a look at the statistics), and therefore CCP understands that there will naturally be more swearing and adult content on EVE.

If this were enforced, we would lose over half the players overnight. And another half the following day.

Honestly, id just grow a thicker skin and learn to take or ignore it. Otherwise, again, maybe this game isnt for you.

Shoot and pod a Russian and throw the resulting EVE mail through google translate and you'll feel like you've just kicked over a steaming barrel filled with racist, sexist homophobic ****.

I blame Google. They must have said "good fight" but it got mangled.

Of course, if it did get translated well I could report it, but to be honest I've never bothered. They only make themselves look like idiots, occasionally I even get a good laugh out of it. The latest mail translated to "******* you".

Edit: that got filtered?!? The filter must be using a rhyming dictionary...


Oh, actually a russian did that to me today. I'm not sure what the russian version for the "N-word' is, but google spelled it in translated english pretty explicitly. The funny part was that they used it off-handedly as a form of casual conversation when there hadn't even been any fighting involved yet.

Heh, there is a good chance they weren't even Russian. Just because they type Cyrillic characters does not mean they are Russian.

Further, IME with every Cyrillic typing player that has started cursing at me because I did bad stuff to them, once you speak to them calmly in their language they are actually quite nice and not any different than anyone else.

I'm letting you know how it actually plays out not what the rules say. I'm trying to save you and the rest of us a lot of discomfort. I can save you a lot of trouble. If you think that you are going to be the naughty language police and report people for using foul language your Eve experience will not be a good one and you won't last long. You can heed my warning or find out the hard way but my guess you'll find out one way or another.

Just in posing this question the way that you have has the potential to attract attention from the kind of people who get their kicks out of extracting tears from people who think that they will straiten out eve by reporting all the "bad people". CCP advertises this game on some ruthless and cut throat game play. Having people running around being the naughty language police does not fit into that genre well.

Alright, but I was specific towards language used by other players.

As a general rule, if you feel that language is severe enough to violate our terms of service, and you find it offensive or troubling, you should open a support ticket (which you can do either by hitting Esc and clicking on Your Support Tickets in the lower left, or by hitting F12 and using the Support Ticket option there.)

Once you open such a ticket, our GMs will handle the matter from there. Note that our policy is not to share the result of any such investigation with the person who reported it, but reports of terms of service or EULA violations are taken seriously by our team.

hah, that reminds me I got a great eve-mail in Chinese years ago. The translation made me laugh, something about my mothers grass. how did they know we Americans pride ourselves on our lawns so much?

I also got some other email that I found comical and forwarded it to my corp, a while later I got an apology email from the guy, I can only assume someone in my corp reported it.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

The movie is "Accepted". I particularly enjoyed the rants of character Ben Lewis, played by Lewis Black.

The clip is of a fraternity hazing, though I don't understand its use here.
