Bannable Words on the Forums

[Koen]

Words alone should not be banned.

It matters in what context the words are used, one stupid example that comes to my head is gay. Even though a lot of immature people use it in a demeaning you can't ban that specific word. I would get banned for telling someone I am gay.. haha lol.

Words are not a problem. The problem is the assholes writing them.

Wrathbaby needs to freaking die.



I started in Wrath and I'm 6/7 Firelands. What now

I'm going to hope you mean heroic or the stereotype is actually correct.

The only pointer I'd agree on is "wrathbaby". Tired of seeing moronic posts that basically go "oh u played wrath u aint serious gamer".

Disclaimer: Of course, I freely admit that wotlk was my favorite expansion. What'll you do about it?

This has been brought up many times before, and as it has been pointed out many times it matters how the words are used when deciding if someone should be infracted. Also... all the words you have listed can be used in completely unoffensive ways so banning the words themselves is not the best idea.

You sound mad.

Wrathbaby just means you started playing in Wrath. It's not inherently a bad thing, it's just that the majority of players who stated in Wrath were bad, so they're the people mostly connected with the term. If you're a competent player, just ignore it. Do you get equally as mad when people call you a noob, even if you aren't one?

It's ok, he's only 7/8 himself.

I don't think a solid list really matters all that much considering they pick and choose what to mod. Favoritism at it's best.. or worst. Depending on whether your cup is half full or...

I could cook up some words that are supermley worse than the ones listed in the OP.

They'd be like, double bannable.

[Jistu]

Most of those words are just normal player speak, but Scrub?

That just reminds me of that terribad sitcom. You can ban that word.

- Casual
- Elitist
- Hardcore

I see no point why these should be bannable?

Banana, Soup, Muggles. Those three

This made as much sense as your post did.

All words have good contexts and bad contexts. It's the content of the entire post and the context of that post in a thread which determine if a word is good or bad.

If you see a bad post, report it. We'll evaluate and take the proper course of action.
