Heck thats not profanity just bad spelling, but seriously I can see why it could be a muting offese i realy dont have a problem with that I do Have a problem with being Muted for saying Bite me after I got the Warning though, once for spelling it bitme:), and agin for Bite me:), prety freaking lame. Note the smily faces, which were present when I sent it out on chanel 1.

fuk is infinitly offensive. Not only is it profane, but it's an obscene use of profanity.

Heh...you curse and get muted and then come here and complain about it?

Some people just dont get it. The profanity filter isnt there so that you can think up amusing ways to curse around it by spelling a little differently. Grow up....there's no need for that language on an open channel...type it on your squad channel. Thats what I do.

AFAIK, you can get muted for that too. Best bet is to cuss like a sailor on AHV.

Phuck yeah...

The auto-filter will also mute you for misspelling words, which is retarded.

Even MORE retarded is the fact that you can un-mute yourself just by relogging, but that is good because the stupid mute system probably mutes more people for typos than for actual problems (certainly the truth in my case).

Hmmm... almost certain it happened to Nash in the TA. Will have to ask.

Ya thats what I thought, espichaly since my retort to the initial warning was bitme and I was promptly Muted...Twice once for bad spelling of it then for being presestant in my attempt at improving it, Bite Me( my spelling:) ), mind you with the smilly faces:)

Getting muted for antagonizing the moderator after a warning?

Yeah, seems fair to me.
