Why have a profanity filter option if you're gonna ban people for swear words?

Oh, lesson 100% learned. I would like to get a clear, cut answer on where the line is though, or why there even IS a line when the filter is turned off.

See, this is exactly the sort of attitude that should incur punitive action.

"I want to know where the line is so I can walk right on the edge of it without anybody being able to accuse me of any wrongdoing".

Sorry but it doesn't work lke that.
If you're being a tool and somebody reports you, the human being who deals with that report is perfectly capable of applying a bit of context and perspective in order to make a judgement as to whether you're being a tool or not.
 
So you were banned from ED for using profanity

You just said you have been chat banned from Xbox as well


Did it ever occur to you that maybe just MAYBE you should probably stop using profanity and watch your temper when interacting with other players instead of complaining about a profanity filter?

It hurts my eyes seeing anyone need to be advised with a white on black letters about asking himself such a question.

What does it say about a person that just doesn't feel it in it's guts?

(that was not an open question)
 
No, the PC version of ED has a report function as well.
The Xbox version doesn't. You can only report players to XBL using the Xbox tools.

Sir G, if your game is closing immediately on starting, have you tried restarting your Xbox? (I'm not joking 😜) Especially if you've had no official notification of a ban

First of all, I don't have a temper, I just swear a lot and all I did was call a ganker a (lady part) because he called me a coward for not letting him gank me.
And second, I had no clue I could get banned from the game for swear in game chat considering there is a profanity filter. I learned my lesson on Xbox a long time ago and I have learned my lesson now, I just think it's ridiculous.
For the millionth time, why have an optional filter if you're gonna ban people for language anyway?

The filter is there for the benefit of people who want to try and avoid having to read offensive messages.
It's not there so you can excercise a potty-mouth with impunity.

This should not be a difficult distinction to grasp.
No duh.
Have you not read a word I've said? Do you honestly think I'm suggesting there should be no filter?
 
Then the other player should also receive a ban. Also he probably wasn't reported. Automatic Xbox chat protocols.

If it was me, I'd simply claim that calling another CMDR a coward was RPing. 🤷‍♂️

Responding to that using rude words can't be defended in the same way.

Yes I have. I also get a message saying "a new update has been downloaded" or something like that.

Swearing is not illegal, offensive, maybe, but not illegal. So why cant folk have potty mouth if they so choose ?
For those who dont like potty mouth, wow, theres a filter that hides it, imagine.
 
Really think the OP should read the code of coduct, in particular the part that reads:

Do not discriminate against others. Being abusive, or promoting abuse, towards other players based on race, ethnicity, nationality, sex or gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability or other criteria that offends other users will not be tolerated

Do not use explicit, harmful or sexual language. This includes the use of misspelt or punctuated words to insinuate, represent any of the above - also known as "masked swearing". Where Frontier may employ a profanity filter to communications in certain cases, this function does not remove the responsibility of an individual to adhere to the rules of this code of conduct.

You have you answer, OP.

Thank you Comander Zapgun! o7

Indeed, some people need to be restricted by law not to be harmfull to others.
 
Please read the code of conduc again - its all very clear about not using offensive language despite the filters existence.

It's also insane that a couple swear words can get you banned, instantly, for multiple days but someone who combat logs, which the devs have said IS CHEATING, can do it over and over again with nothing but an email warning them to stop.
Edit: I was not doing anything to "get around" the censor. I typed swear words in the game chat, the other player had his profanity filter turned off and yet he still reported me for my language.

Sounds to me like you were reported by someone who has a grudge against you, and was misusing the report feature.
(If they were genuinely offended they’ve clearly never been to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 )

This made me laugh, I know what the substitute word for person is.
