While I see the need for moderating chat, the current system seems flawed to say the least.

While simply telling a joke to hopefully make people laugh I "Hinted" at a word while not actually spelling it. For that some moderator without warning simply silenced me for two hours. A little more training on how to be a moderator might not go amiss it seems. ">

concealed swearing is still a violation of chat rules. also constantly breaking chat rules give more strict silenceing aswell as silencing without warning
LOKI AESIR,

I'm sick and tired of people whining on forum by making posts (which, by the way, you're not supposed to do as there's a thread for this type of thing .

What's the point of concealing swear words if everyone knows what it means? Doesn't take a detective to find out that [suggested curse word] is actually [curse word].

I'll give you credit; you didn't carry yourself as a total idiot and start trashing a specific mod here. Just be mindful and all will be well.
@ Bones420 I now realise that, however I have never broken these stringent rules before. Maybe a warning for this first perceived offence might have been the decent thing to do. So being silenced without any warning was a little harsh for a first somewhat minor offense.
@ Marcus the Wise - I'm not whining at all, I am simply raising a question about not being given the slightest warning.
@ Marcus the Wise - If I had know there was a thread for such things I would have used it, thanks for the heads up.
@ Marcus the Wise - Can you perhaps tell me where said thread is? Given the lack of search function to locate anything it seems almost impossible to find anything on here.
Marcus the Wise,
I'm not trying to trash any specific mod in all honesty, I am a mod on several other games I realise the need for them, and the work it involves. Also if I had known there was a thread to raise this issue I would have done so on said thread. The lack of a search function on here is somewhat limiting.
Bones420,
I now realise that the chat rules are very stringent indeed, I will endeavor not to break them again, however my point is valid. I was given no warning that my actions where worthy of being silenced, I was simply silenced for a first offense that I was actually unaware was an offense in the first place, unfortunately for me.
As an adult who actually cares about such things and tries not to breach chat rules, being given a fair warning of the rules seems a reasonable request.
LOKI AESIR,

In response to both of your last posts:

At least you didn't do that so I won't dismiss you as an idiot. However, if you really feel the need for fair warning, READ THE CHAT RULES.

Do that and everyone will forget about this.

(coming from someone who had 9 silences in 1 month)
As mentioned earlier please do re-read the chat rules. Concealed swearing whether it is obviously hinting at something or using asterisks to cover it is still a violation of chat rules. Depending of what is being meant punishment can be from several hours to simply a warning.
