Muted 1 hour

In the scenario channel, I wrote “POINT” — P-O-I-N-T — to tell the players to go precisely to the point. Another player said “co-flag”, and a few seconds later, I’d say about 20–30 seconds after my first “POINT”, I wrote “POINT” again.

Then, about another 30 seconds later, I wanted to give my group an indication that there were players on the point, but I got a message saying that I had been muted for one hour and that I could contact a Game Master if needed.

The problem is that I can’t really do that since I’m muted for an hour.

I also don’t understand why I was muted for an hour. Was the fact that I wrote the same message twice within about 30 seconds automatically detected as abuse, or did a Game Master decide that it was inappropriate and mute me for an hour?

Could you please clarify this for me?

A one hour mute is the type that is automatically applied to a character by the server when certain chat words trigger the filter. So you likely said something naughty and the server put you in timeout.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I only said “POINT” twice, nothing else.

Yeah. Don't say naughty things like:

"Use the knob to open the door"

or

"Time to strap on your shields"

There are just so many verbal landmines in their naively puritanical naughty word filter just view it as a mini game.

Everyone gets muted at some point unless you just don't use chat.

Can't say the current or past president's names, but you can say the failed recent dem candidate, which makes no sense. plus a bunch of other words that they will not list for us. you cannot tell anyone you are autistic either, because that's a mute...

My favorite is "big black" that's censored (but "BIG BLACK" isn't). Especially funny in a game with black orks that happen to be pretty big.

Back in my day, we had a profanity filters. And I turned it off. Nowadays I am being treated like a child by a game.
