Weird RotMG Announcement

#81

someone answer my question D: (that ToS piece was too confusing for me, didn’t understand a thing…)

#82

Quoted from his last reply to my comments

#83

Did you even read my post?

#84

Lmao you right,

TL;DR
DECA has the right to inflict punishment upon a player for using any language that encourages/promotes, hatred, bigotry, racism, drug use, pornography, etc. etc. Chat filters are for language. This Term of Service is for RoTMG not being used as a platform to discuss edgy subjects.

(Nothing morally wrong with this. They are more than well within their right.)
^For anyone who disagrees with above statement

#85

ok so that means that the normal swearwords like the fck and poop(the one that starts with an s) are ok right?

#86

Yeh

#87

No. The ToS also states that they can bring the banhammer on anyone they like. They don’t need to specify a reason. If you appeal, they might consider unbanning.

#88

Yeh that too

#89

So no words are “ok”.

This thread is pointless. All you have to know is treat ROTMG like a library. Just get in there, play the stupid game, and get out. You can socialize later(on Discord or something).

#90

Say this:

Happened on an NPE like me. Would I be able to swear instead of saying NO NO NO NO repeatedly?

#91

So Deca are now PC Police?

#92

I’d advise everyone read the “Acceptable Use Policy” part of the ToS:

http://legal.decagames.io/tos/

I’m not part of Deca, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to tolerate a certain amount of profanity, as long as they’re not insults directed at somebody or spammed everywhere.

It’s easier for people to follow rules when they understand the logic behind them, instead of considering them completely arbitrary.

Who said they give a shit about your thoughts? They just don’t want you using language that might turn their customers away on their platform.

You’re also a colossal moron if you think a video game such as this one is the right place to have debates about politics, race, gender, and other serious topics.

#94

Ah, I see. The last thing DECA would want is for people to not follow these rules.

However, concerning the logic behind the recent regulations, DECA has not released a statement from any of the team about the rules.

#95

Nice misquote.

I just used the first image that came up when I searched ‘Political Correct Police’.

Here’s a different example I hope doesn’t trigger you like the last.

#96

At least they’re trying to do more about hackers.

#97

yes but with that logic, just playing the game is against the ToS ;ll or just saying “hi”…

#98

Who said it wasn’t? I suppose DECA would never ban someone for saying “hi”, but who knows how far they will take this? I sure don’t.

#99

well yea, but back to the point, i srsly dont think anyone should be banned for profanity, only for racism and stuff like that.

#100

I wholeheartedly agree with you. No one should be banned for profanity simply because there is a filter for bad words.
