    Default Remove Chat Muting Bans Due Foul Language

    Remove banning of players that say foul things. In my oppinion its the people who hack other's accounts for money/items etc. that need to be banned. What should be done about potty mouths is to just let other players mute them. I mean i have been muted ALOT in the past and most of them were accidental mutes. Yeah sure i know u devs want to keep the game clean and all but isnt that what the mute button is for ? With the mute/ban system the way it is u woul start losing more and more players. In other words the mute system is pointless seeing as though we have a mute button. Yet again, even the best of players get an accidental mute sometimes. This one of the reasons why some players leave this game. Please correct this problem. Thank you if u do

    You refer to the banning system as a problem? This is a Rated Pg-13 game. Most of the population that plays this is under the age of 17. What would happen to the players with potty mouths? NOTHING. They need to be taught a lesson. Honestly, STS is already babying the players (IMO) with only muting players with bad language and after a few times a temporary ban? (Correct if wrong). If I had a say, I would make it 3x and done. If you didn't learn your lesson the first or second time, what makes you think you'll ever learn it? Also, The mute button is your friend.

    Someone has a potty mouth and is constantly being muted, I think. Lol! Quit saying mutable words and guess what? You won't be muted. Crazy, I know, but just try it.

    Lol, since I changed my tapatalk sig to that I've been reading my posts in a sarcastic tone. It works for all of them so far.

    remove it, why? Still a lot of player use foul language, even more as people getting bored lately (yay for the egg-fest event, keeping people entertained)

    I would like to see better ruling on the mute-ban, because it does mute you for silly 'accidental ' words too. While other writings still go without noticed by any filter on a daily basis.

    Swear/rant offline if you think it is accepted, keep online chat clean please!

    Ehh, no.

    You can't permanently ban people for language on a mobile phone game after "3 strikes." We're typing with our fingers on touch screen phones, it's human error to make typing mistakes. As there is no list of words we can't say and half of the muted words aren't even bad in my opinion, a 3 strikes you're out policy is a terrible idea.


    And please don't say "potty mouth." I feel like I'm in kindergarten again lol. Another reason why I don't like SL chat mechanics...small limit on the amount you can say per entry and too many little kids/virgin eyed adults

    What needs to be changed is the entire system of keyboard keys. I keep typoing "shot" and "shut" to you-know-what on the little mobile keyboard when I'm on the treadmill and hence shakily speed typing because people are constantly expecting replies from me and U, I, and O being right next to each other.

    I'd be banned from the game for typos

    Let me explain the lateness of signatures with a page of my homework.

    I think a better solution is to remove everyone under 17.
