Harassing players in ESO and Code of Conduct

So i think everyone should have a more clear idea of what is considered against code of conduct in eso for harassing/using inapproriate language as its a fact that some specific words will be considered against CoC so this mean that if you may say them you can get banned or perma banned while other words like "***" or "Rat" are not considered against CoC so if another player say them to you LoL its all fine.

    Part of the confusion stems from the profanity filter being turned up to 11. The same is true for the filter on these forums. For example, the other day I used an English idiom that basically means the same as "Oh well". The idiom is "Hey **" (self-censored).

    That two letter word is also found in one of the most famous catchphrases in the Western world and beyond. And I find it pretty silly that Santa Claus would find himself censored simply for his onomatopoeic laugh. Pirate shanties would also be affected.

    The confusion comes from the extreme inconsistency of enforcement.

    common sense and common courtesy are not so common

    You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them....

    I heard someone complaining the other day that the word which describes an illegitimate child is blocked on these forums, despite it being used in the game (e.g. https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Online:The_***'s_Tomb).

    I understand that words used to insult others should probably be censored, but it does seem odd when you can't even discuss place names in the game's universe.

    One time I got those two letters censored here because I typed "holy" divided by a "-" just to emphasize the expression as I often hear it said online (I am not even native English speaker).
    Imagine my confusion, since those two letters also have a meaning in my language which is simply the verb I "have"...

    EDIT: btw my whole comment got deleted that time...
    EDIT 2: to me there is some overreach in wanting to protect and sensitivity. Maybe it's because of where I am from... The '90s.

    Increase the ignore list and let an adult game be that. Moderation seems harsh, pvp guild constantly has members getting banned. A few permanent, I go offline mode and try to communicate only in discord when I pvp.

    As a Scandinavian, I find it very strange, much of what is being censored. Words that are being used in day to day speach in the English spoken countries.Frequently. No one bothers then.

    But if it is written, then it becomes offensive?

    It’s also annoying when a non-English word is being censored because it looks like an English banned word. For example there’s an English insult that is rightfully banned, but in French there is a word that is written exactly the same but it means something totally different.
