It's masking, therefore warnable. Don't want to risk getting done for vulgarity or masking, then don't swear. Simple.

It is most definitely a valid conclusion to believe that what is acceptable in Jason's game is acceptable on Jason's dedicated to said game.

No it's not, because people can be abusive in ingame PMs as nothing is done and is seen as acceptable from game admin, but abusiveness is not acceptable on forums.

But the filter is

The whole point of filtering is to make it clean. Jason filtered it...but somehow it wasn't clean enough for the forums?

Abusive behavior is permitted via PM on forum with the same advice given. Don't like someone's PMing you, block them. Words ingame are filtered, the are filtered, the result of that filtering would understandably be assumed to be acceptable on the forum as well.

Exactly as RepliMagni said.

Sorry, It is actually about Using. Its written in rules, "using". Than Thanks for explaining, I didnt use maksing, I posted Masking. Better sayd, I posted filtered words. Basicly, I realy didnt Use Masking...

Whether it's acceptable ingame or not is irrelevant. The rules on this forum is for this forum. it was masking, a warning was given. Take it as a lesson, and next time just use *****.

there is always a nice way to deal with it. the mod can just edit the post and advice the user.
does the mod earns anything by setting a warning for a passive masking ?

If the user had a clean usernotes, i.e. no occurences of masking in the past then yes, but C2 has had more than 1 warning for masking in the past.

Did you get a warning then Clarkey? Just curious....

well im not a mod to see those but it always depends on the chronology of the previous warnings and the circumstances. the mod decides if the posts is intentionally or a passive masking and where it leads if user gets warned.

one PM:
are you serious? it was all copyed with filters from GW. You must be joking with the warning.

Answer:
Masking is against the rules, regardless of where the text originated.

The section head (E.M.P.), not the mod who warned you (me).

That was masking... you get a warning.

Given your warning history you are well aware of what Masking is, doesn't matter if you copied it from a message in-game. You are responsible for what you post even if you copied someone else's words from somewhere else. Warnings exactly like this have been given out many times in the past, it's how it works.

well said TM

None of these words is on the current filter. As it is not on the filter, it is not against board rules and is no a warnable offense. The words clearly used in the original quote are on the filter, so masking still applies.

Also, why the hell would OMG ever need to be on the filter?

As to the original issue, that is up to the Ombs now. Haz and EMP already stated their opinions on the matter.
