Probably best not to feed the troll

By the way @Kafka the word that made you close an entire thread that was perfectly on topic is what we squeeze bodywash onto and then wash our bodies with in the United States, itâs a common word. When she got banned for that word everybody she knew (as well as myself) had to actually look that up only to realize itâs a thing in only a tiny handful of countries. I was never appealing anything, and you were the one who brought up that specific unjust banning. Kinda unreasonable to expect people who have no clue what these words are to adhere to not saying a âslurâ that they donât know exists when that word is perfectly common and is definitely not a slur where they live donât you think? Even more unreasonable to actually scroll through someoneâs chat history and pick a word like that out to ban them with. If you have to dig that hard just to action somebody then thereâs probably an issue with the person whoâs issuing these bans. You said you were looking into that situation, but let me guess⌠the person who lorded over every single ban and appeal said their bans were perfectly fine and justified right?
Still not too late to fix it by the way, or at the very least not destroy her guild because a chat ban cuts off the guild master from the entire guild. That could be reworked to make at least some sense. You arenât punishing one person here, youâre punishing an entire guild that needs to communicate in order to stay competitive.

Yeah, I know. But itâs also somewhat fun to poke him, not gonna lie. 
Same in Germany. I didnât even know it was also a slur. It can also be a soundword in comics BTW. Pretty sure most of us have seen the word in that context, surrounded by clouds or smoke.
Did you know that fruitcake can also be a slur? Or that the f slur with 3 letters also means cigarette in England?
Thatâs why I said that context matters.
Not knowing the context I canât and wonât comment on this specific case. But in general, looking for words isnât enough. It is to be considered how the words are used and that many do mean something totally harmless/different in other countries or if used in a different context.

Thatâs really all iâm saying here. Not trying to justify or advocate for the usage of the word, just saying that if the person had to look it up to know why theyâre getting banned for it⌠itâs probably safe to say they werenât saying it in that context and thus didnât deserve any form of action over it. And also safe to say whoever actioned an account based on a word like that obviously being used out of context needs to relax and not be so sensitive.
I think Kafka misunderstood why I even brought that word up in the first place and thatâs what I was trying to clear up. It was because context is everything, it needs to be looked at by several people before action is done. I didnât bring it up to appeal a ban, didnât bring it up to beat a dead horse, I brought it up because I donât think people who donât understand context (not talking about Kafka here) should be in charge of banning anybody. Thatâs just basic common sense imo.

Currently ingame data shows next vault event to take placeâŚ
Friday, Apr 21, 2023 - Sunday, Apr 23, 2023
âŚis this correct?
If soâŚ
- weâre still two weeks behind the broken vault schedule
- weâre still missing the promised âextraâ vault event
Any comments and infos on when the made promises will be fulfilled?
@Kafka @Jeto @Bramble
Maybe do some famous âpokingâ?

Because itâs their best option. If you read between the lines, the current situation looks like this:
The powers in charge consider the issue solved to complete satisfaction of all parties involved. The Customer Experience team is aware that the community sees this differently and would react in quite an unpleasant way if directly told the official stance. They canât change anything about the situation, just deliver the message and ignite the next shitstorm. So they avoid the topic and make sure the message remains undelivered. When players eventually realize by themselves the horse has died months ago they wonât have enough energy left to complain in a way that canât be ignored.

Above, a opinion that may be true - especially about the âmessage delivery systemâ that ever so often fails completely, even with the famous âpokingâ.
Another thing could be a mindset of âwe donât care (that much) as long as we get our monthly paycheck anywayâ - âa good horse only jumps as high as it has toâ, right?
Would explain complete forum absence for multiple days and the selective (not )commenting on certain topics and questionable actions against certain disliked forum users/topics.
If thereâs never a plan to realise certain things, then just donât promise it. Even if youâre a âsmall wheelâ in the machine thereâs no need to be complicit by forwarding what could be perceived as lies.
Not saying that they are exactly that. Just to clarify this.
Maybe it is something else entirely. 
Who knows. Iâd certainly like to know, it would possibly make interactions easier.

Regarding the Vault events, theyâll be announced in the blogs as usual.
This is off topic for this thread so Iâll just say this. I donât know where you got the idea weâre just searching for words to ban for without any context because thatâs not the case. No one is getting banned for talking about loofahs, theyâre getting banned for using slurs in context. Or spamming slurs then claiming itâs a loofah to troll people. If it were actually a conversation about hygeine products no one would bat an eye. But thatâs not what anyone banned for using those slurs was talking about.
If you want to discuss the fact you want homophobic slurs and swearing to be allowed in game make a new thread for it but I can tell you now, thatâs a ânoâ.
Uh⌠you might want to read the reply I said under that where I clearly stated I wasnât advocating for any insulting words to be used. Itâs not a âfactâ that I want anything you just said at all, I specifically stated otherwise and itâs right there for you to read. Donât put disgusting words in my mouth that I didnât say, thanks.
And it isnât off topic, itâs specifically about bans. If a person didnât know that said word was a slur, how can they possibly be using it as one? I know you canât produce any evidence that they used it in that context so I donât really get why youâre coming back to the word over and over when the CONTEXT is the actual issue. More specifically banning people based on your teamâs inability to grasp CONTEXT is the issue (hence why this is perfectly on topic, and was on topic in the thread about your new rules being used to go way too far).
I really hope you donât jump to conclusions this fast when youâre doing tickets that determine peopleâs ability to play the game or use chat. That would be sad because I always thought from chatting with you in xbox global that you were the more approachable and level headed one.

We donât ban without context. If someone feels they have been banned out of context they can submit a ban appeal for it to be reviewed.
Now I wonder what a loofah is and how safe it would be to look that up at work.

A loofah is like a scrub you use when taking a shower, but I wouldnât use that word. Iâm saying it sounds like too much of a slang for a womanâs body part.
âHey wanna play with my loofah? Can I play with your loofah? Let me see your loofah.â 
Even if it was ban worthy, something like this needs to be explained because some household names are slurs in other countries.
âLoofahs for sale. I got your fresh loofahs hereâ.
(Yes, Iâm silly)
Canât really blame them if itâs buried in a thread about bans, (how convenient too) but yes.
