OT - I seriously don't understand people who have to use rude language to communicate in /map chat, though saying that few words have been trivialized in modern language.... anyway OP knows what he did wrong and props to him taking it like a man.
"Bill Nye: So Todd I got an offer for you. You and me. Any time. Any place. Debating science mano- a-mano. I'll bring the facts, and you bring the Vaseline. Because your ass is gonna fucking need it when I'm done whipping."
Mr Eames: "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling"
Well obviously you learned nothing nor will as your thread gets locked then the 1st thing you do is open another thread on the same subject then blast the Mod for locking it. Shows how you will "learn" from it...... gotcha
Not only that but if you lack the skills to interact with others in public, which is more or less what any MMO is I would be stunned if anything was learned from a thread like this. If you haven't sorted it out in however many years you have been on the planet (I am guessing about 12) it is very unlikely any progress will be made on a thread in MMOchamp LMAO

Just because I don't care does'nt mean I don't understand
I know the voices in my head are not real BUT they have some REALLY good ideas
Is it fun to have an offense registered in the first day of the game? Nice.
So you feel you shouldn't be banned for using derogatory and offensive names? Cmon, seriously...
Also, I see no reason to close a threat that could inform people on codes of conduct. Yes, it should be common sense, but games like wow, where anything is acceptable, have spoiled people too much.

SO ya, Gotcha as in understand.... maybe that is a unheard of saying on whatever planet you live on that common sense does not exist on and it is socially acceptable to swear in public and around people you do not know. Maybe just sit down with a adult and they can give you the basic skills needed to interact with others. I know my mom had taught me by the time i was 5 what a bad word was and how I should not say them and deff not say them in public......
Anyways pointless thread so peace

If I beat a woman to death and say "she committed adultery" it wouldn't be acceptable in most of the world but if I did it in certain parts of Pakistan/Saudi it would be perfectly ok.
Just because it's supposedly acceptable one place, does NOT automatically make it acceptable in another one. It's a different company, different rules. Stop clinging to that argument that's thinner than paper. It's just crap.
I saw something posted on the GW2 Twitter about someone getting a 72hr suspension on a first offense for map chat slander. I was quite impressed actually. If you absolutely need to talk trash to get your point across/ wanna sound like a bad ass/ intentionally using inappropriate language in chats or even character names, then a short suspension is justly deserved imho.
Half of WoW's problem as a community is that people don't treat each other with respect. Respect isn't earned by running your mouth like a twelve year old showing off to his friends. I'm sure ANet is fully aware of a lot of the issues involving the WoW community being able to function as a community, and they don't want to bring that into their game. Kudos to them for taking a firm stand on it before it gets out of hand.
I am just saying that everyone reading this has been to 1st grade or has a mother. Maybe I shouldn't assume but I am pretty sure that all of our teachers in 1st grade or your mother when you were a child laid out some basic rules on how to act in public. I would bet if you followed those basic rules you would not get banned.
However I may be wrong and some people may need a refresher course as they go around work, school or in public cussing up a storm and has lic plates on their car with offensive wording much in the way you name your toons and swear in gen chat. My bad.
