Napkin - Offensive Language

Oh boy do I have a lot of opinions to share regarding this discussion.

Now I'm not saying that he shouldn't be muted for that kind of language but I'm saying you should have asked napkin. Clearly they were trying to follow napkin around and provoke it. I say swearing should be allowed between two people such as napkin said. Him and his friend.

"Clearly"?
Nowhere is it 'clear' that they followed Napkin around and provoked him. I don't see any proof, so why should anybody believe that's what happened?

If someone can't control themselves from simply not typing letters on their keyboard then they should just ignore them. If they swore at Napkin then they'd be muted as well, but they didn't swear.

Fuck, fuck, and fuck.

I've just swore 3 times. Looks like I should be muted.

If you're actually serious about enforcing that ridiculous rule you'd have to ban half the server. Why was the censor removed if we aren't permitted to swear?

However, whenever we tried to say "Hi", to attempt to get his attention, he would either tell us off, or ignore us.

As I said previously in this post, there's no proof that happened either.

I've been playing online multiplayer games for years, and I've never ONCE come across a game with chat that didn't have people swearing. Whether you choose to believe it or not, cursing is very common in games. The only kind of rep it would set is that we can't handle a few insults because we just can't ignore it.
