This comment section is not what I expected.
You can get comn banned for telling someone to go fuck themselves yet the characters in the game can swear all they want.
I've been comm banned for telling someone to kill themselves because they said they were gonna rape my daughter and after I reported them for it "this activity doesn't go against our ToS" was the response.
If the game is rated m for mature then mature content should be allowed.
I'm not advocating for death threats or shit like that but simply saying fuck in a dm can get you banned.
While in-game characters might swear, it’s typically in scripted scenarios that aren’t directed at people, let alone real people. Trash talking teammates is a whole different can of "swearing".
Telling someone to kill themselves crosses a boundary. I mean, so did their comment, but you should have left it at the report instead of trying to go eye for eye. Usually they troll and bait you into saying things that you can get banned for.
Maturity in ratings refers to the content of the game. A mature label isn't a green light for abusive behaviour, but a warning about the content.
That being said, I do agree that bans can be misjudged / unfair when put into perspective.
I'm just saying they can't expect people to understand nuance when they're not willing to even consider it themselves. If you're gonna put out mature content you should expect people to do the same.
Figure out a way to look at the situational details.
again, mature content != freedom to be abusive and toxic
That's valid.
