I can't believe at the level of etiquette required to post there. It is Like you are at the PM(Prime Minister)'s House. Such nonsense-I am on the net to sound Like me and not Like some random drone. Anyways, I called another member "nitwit". And that's like a serious offense. If I did there what I had done here, there would be police(ye olde Bill with that signal stripe on the hat :D) on my doorstep... Sheeesh! Give me a break, will you?  |

Originally posted by Gorwe As I understand it calling someone a nitwit would be against the terms of service in most forums the difference is that it seems maybe ANET actually takes all violations seriously and honestly good for them for that. as the first responder pointed out you have to understand calling someone a name like that does nothing to actually advance the discussion just makes you look like a troll for the most part. I could be wrong but I'd be willing to bet even here on mmorpg you are going to have a hard time finding people who agree with you. |

And name calling is not nonsense?? I am glad they are trying to make a friendly atmosphere. Allot of Mods in other forums let things go on and on.

Well, let's be fair, the word Nitwit has probably seen extensive use this week, and some mod or developer might be a tad sensitive about it ATM. It's kind of like saying the wrong word to a baseball umpire and getting tossed - the word can change from day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute.
Avatars are people too |

It actually was. Because they started to get flame ready and I stepped in to explain things. It all happened because random guy used my acronym(you'll hear about that acronym soon enough :D) and didn't explain what it actually stood for. Plus if people get offended at stuff like Fool/Plonker/Wallie/Nitwit-it's their fault and not mine. It's my way of speaking so get used to it(and not only mine!)... Anyhow, use EXTREMELY polite expressions if you wind up there. Behave Like you are at Pope's Palace... |

Isn't it stupid to argume over something you know NOTHING about? Then I, jokingly, called him a nitwit(if I wanted to offend anyone I'd have used WAAAY harsher words). That Word was, basically, a summary of the whole Topic... Meh. Awesome game-fail Community... |

Originally posted by Gorwe I think the reason they do draw a line is, typed words cant necessarily translate if you are kidding or really mean it in a hurtful way all the time. I use some of those same words you mentioned in person to person conversations jokingly, but try not to online to prevent misinterpetation. So I guess in order to keep things from being blown out of proportion there sometimes have to have strict rules to help prevent these things.

Rules exist to set a framework for activities. Go outside the framework and expect to be punished. If you don't like the rules, find some place else to vent your insults and anger.
You also seem to have a hatred for those who correct others' grammar. Again, this is a case of following rules of the written English language. If we all decide to stop following those rules, you might type, "I like cake," but another person would read it and think you meant, "I like being punched in the face." That is just a worst-case scenario of a language losing its meaning, but you can understand where miscommunication might occur due to failure to follow predetermined rules. |

Attacking other members is attacking other members.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

An attack? That would be just like I hugged a stranger or if I touched someone with a feather lol. But, in the strictest meaning possible(Legal Definitions), I guess it was my fault. But still, what levels of carebear attidute(sheeesh it's off the scale)... And so strict! I'll say following so who understands, understands: J->200, P->-100 lol! |

I'm glad that they just punish you for being offensive regardless of what particular words you use. On a lot of forums you can insult in many ways as long as if you avoid certain name calling words. Even if the intention is clear. Which makes their rules a joke imo. |

Calling another poster anything is name calling. You could have called him a fire hydrant, its name calling. So if you have the option of just not doing it period. Name calling does Not promote discussion. But to each his own... |
