Yes, but that doesn't matter. A profanity filter isn't a license to swear, any more than someone wearing a bulletproof vest means it's ok to shoot them.

Despite ratings of mature content in games, parents still purchase said games for their children. Seeing as this is an MMO, this is especially true. For this reason, this sort of thing can happen, where a moderator suspends someone for abusing vocabulary. If you are innocent of said charge, then I am truly sorry for your misfortune. You may have been hit with a ban bot The best chance you have is to stay on their tail and make sure you speak to someone in person - ask them to escalate your ticket right away. Good luck.

- Choose "I Would Like to appeal a suspension/ban." from the Select a Subcategory dropdown menu.
- Describe the problem in the space provided.
- Click Submit Question to send the appeal to Customer Support.
That kind of comment, about what a reasonable person deems objectionable, is just a catch-all for when they feel something is a violation but it isn't specifically called-out in the TOS. It's a CYA.
Subjective to the "regulators" discretion can be a dangerous thing when that person regulating isn't objective enough, but such is life, a lot of people are subjected to stupid people with power, not saying that this is relative to the OP's situation as the OP might of deserved it for all I know.That kind of comment, about what a reasonable person deems objectionable, is just a catch-all for when they feel something is a violation but it isn't specifically called-out in the TOS.

Why are you being so mean to me?
@Tweek - I hate to break this to you, but you are on the Internet, where trolls and mean-spirited pixies abound. My personal advice to dealing with people like this is to just ignore what they post and don't bother answering them. It keeps threads constructive and most importantly "open". Best of luck once again.

So they have time and resources to waste on targeting peoples language yet allow the realm to be filled with bots. Great to see they have their priorities straight........
Wait,
you received a 72 hour game suspension for swearing?
Not just a mute?
That seems very strange to me.
EDIT: I don't think we're getting the whole story here.
Pretty sure the MMO standard stance on swearing is, "There's a profanity filter and ignore feature...quit wasting our time."
