Draco.9480 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 There's a rule in the ToS to not insult or offend people etc. Is it only for english, or is it only for the main languages of NA and EU (english, german, french)? Or does it also extend to languages like russian or hebrew? and what about if it's written in latin letters instead their real letters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Why would "be nice to each other" care about what language you're speaking? But yes, it does include any languages they can police. It's to an often amusing degree to English-speakers who use the filter to find curses and offensive words in other languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, "don't be a horrible person" is easy enough to adjust to in any language.

JustTrogdor.7892 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 If I am remembering correctly over the years I've seen a complaint/s on the forum about being forced to change a character name and it turned out it was in violation of the rules even though it was in a language not officially supported in game. I imagine this would also apply to chat. If reported GMs might have to research if it is in a language none of them speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 And what if you curse in Klingon? What then?! Will Anet have to learn *every* language, real and fantasy??? The implications are mind boggling!!! Or they can just google translate. That works too. It wouldnt surprise me if someone get banned for calling another person a "creaking door" or something.

Danikat.8537 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 If you want to report someone for saying something offensive in a language which is not officially supported, and especially if you think it may not be possible to look up the word/s used because they're written in Latin letters then it might be better to submit a ticket rather than just using the in-game report option, so you can explain why it's offensive. However you report it you should be aware that Anet will not discuss the outcome of a report with anyone except the person reported. So even if you submit a ticket they will not tell you what actions they took as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Exactly what @"Danikat.8537" says: If you think it won't be obvious, _file a support ticket_ and be explicit: what was the exact phrase used (when & where & what time). Offer a translation to your best understanding and then point the support team to where they can look it up for themselves. In short: make it easy for whoever gets your ticket to see what you see.
