Censored guild chat...really?
I havent signed on in like a week because I was getting bored, but I figured I'd check out the new vanity stuff. Within 5 minutes I'm muted in my guild chat for talking how I normally talk. What is this about? One of the biggest positives I saw about the guild system was that I was able to talk normally and not have to talk around a filter meant for children. If people dont want to deal with adult language in a guild...join a guild who has rules against such things, but don't penalize those of us who aren't offended by a little mature language.
If it were that simple...
@ Quientar - I'm not an attorney, but I don't think it's that easy, if so I think the developers would have already implemented something like that. They've stated in chat that the auto censor is a bit harsh in what it chooses to filter, and even if they were not in complete accord with our opinions, I still think they would work a compromise to the one you suggested, as they have proven time and time again that they LISTEN to us. I'm just trying to provide a business perspective and show that it may not be STS that is behind the guild filter. I mean it's almost unheard of these days for anyone with any assets or liquidity to get something as simple as a divorce without some type of legal maneuvering and a whole slew of lawyers, when corporations and regulatory agencies get involved, just imagine the bureaucracy and politics (I know, not the best analogy or example but I'm going on 3 hours of sleep).
If anything, blame society that something as simple as a video game, song lyrics, movies etc even require a ratings system.
@ Banned - stop being facetious, though your comment was indeed humorous! :p
