Yeah.. I found out the long and hard way.. it was painful...! (ouch, my butt hurts!! LOL)

So..... don't post anything that is inappropriate... The game may be rated M in US, but I guess it's PG by UK standards...

    Are you sure? Last time I checked, it had PEGI rating 16+. In fact, PEGI doesn't even have 13+ rating, just 12+.

    Who care about XX+... It's just SUGGESTED age, not "you can't because NO".

    Personally I don't even care and never cared about it, I have played a lot games 18+ when I was young.

    yea there's a filter for a reason.

    What did you say exactly? Sometimes it's more the content that matters. There are certainly things you could say in a 16+ environment that would be no bueno.

    Well I put in for a callback and got some American named Chris (in Austin) and he said the game is 16+ globally and only 14+ in Central & South America... LOL

    Whatever.... He had no clue.. I guess that's why the mod's are so strict.. they have nothing to look to for a uniform code.... It sucks that we have to endure such petty nonsense in an adult game that we are paying the bills for!!!

    there's no central/south america server, so I'm not sure how it would matter. Either it stands at 16+ or the south american standard overrides that.

    Hi, folks. If you'd like more information about how ESO is rated in different countries, please check out this article from our searchable knowledge base. Different countries have their own content rating system, so while games in America are reviewed by the ESRB, games in many European countries are reviewed using the PEGI system. It is important to note that, regardless of ESO's rating, we hold all posters on these forums to the forum Code of Conduct, and all players in-game to the Terms of Service.

    I tried to reply to your second thread about it this morning, but that got removed. Basically, the forums don't have a EULA and you don't have to have an active account to view them. Therefore, it makes sense the terms for profanity on the forums differ to that of the game.

    I have no need to swear.... I was previously operating under the assumption that we could use words appropriate in an M rated game. The reason I posted this is to say that is other parts of the world, the game is rated 13+ (or Teen basically) and therefore we need to use appropriate language.

    This isn't a "whine" thread and I have no idea why you would attempt to characterize it as such... Don't try to read between the lines... I said very clearly in the title: Game is 13+ in the UK so don't curse!! You will get flak from the mods if you step outside the unspoken bounds which is my point. Had I known the lower age rating in other parts previously, I wouldn't have been cursing...
