I agree to some extent. I do not think anyone would be comfortable if some random person just sent you a PM pretty much telling you to "gtfo" because they dont "gaf" about your "wtf" looking face, or something like that lol


I think that would just make me laugh out of sheer ridiculousness! :lol:

Don't get me wrong I'm not against swearing. But in a public forum - I dunno whats your view?


I don't like it. Typed out fully or acronym, it's wrong and tasteless and in my opinion, speaks volumes about the poster.

Meh,some of the 8 year olds who play this game probably know more "colourful" terms then that.
Trust me a few "wtf's" and etc won't be anything new to them.
After all a lot of the very young generation watch things on TV and online that most people wouldn't of at their age...

I don't like saying "wth" either so I just go with heck. Unless it's a PM or out of the forums I think it should just stay rated G :P.

You can get banned in game for saying 'yadda' too many times too.. Yikes.
Some guy got the boot for saying it 32 times in the same day!

Are you serious? Is this new LOL. Pretty sure I've said yadda more than 30 times in the past, with friends obviously and most of them were accidental.

I think it's definitely in poor taste when used in excess and in place of a vocabulary :lol:

LOL Yadda isn't offensive. But what is he really typing to get a ban. In private with a friend thats okay. In public... Hmm that okay too if it comes out in Yadda.

I rmr selling a costume for my friend - some pumped up little yadda came into the room.. quickly announced how much was the Mother F.****** costume worth.. I swear I didn't mean to laugh as I quickly booted him in what seemed like mid sentence... with the one hour rule - he could not come back.. BLISS .

I'm wondering this too, especially given that the filter picks up normal words that contain some of the same letters that curse words do. So if you're typing and not even swearing, and it picks up normal words, can you get banned for that?

And then there's people who don't need acronyms to be rude and disrespectful.

I hate a snarky attitude, acronyms or not. Acronyms themselfs dont bother me, but the attitude used behind some, leaves much to be desired.

The thing is..... Half of the time I'm wrecking my brain trying to figure out what someone actually means. PITA kept me busy for a while. I was wondering since when bread became a swear word, until I saw a friends' post about how her daughter caught her typing PITA and demanded to know what it meant. They can be quite confusing when english isn't your first language. :D

I understand the point. The game is designed for ppl 13 and up not just adults.
There are adult online games.
That said kids see that all the time everywhere. It is a different world out there and i don't think using it is a big deal. I don't use it on the forum thought.
I doubt that they will stop ppl from saying it.
