I can think of many instances where light curse is used ffs

Instances? What does it mean? Didn’t find it in Google translate

The same as example, for instance = for example

Why ban???

I often curse at my workplace.

Why I can’t curse in FL if there are reasons for that?

I hope there will be no such signs in space

You have a funny way of showing it.

Not a funny way at all, that is Riposte. Look back and you will see it is rare if at all that I start. But I will not lie down to be walked on

I started playing Freelancer a few years back a newbie who could not type in chat and was real bad at the game. I started at the DS9 server and was taught the right and wrongs there a zero tolerance on swearing,It has served me well over the few years i have played so i would have to say a zero tolerance of swearing is good for the community. May be on team speak within groups of adult players it would be tolerated but in chat online i do not think it is good for the game, due to the fact most players take offence to been cursed at in game it creates problems with clans / players /server police and admins who have to put up with it and deal with the problems of it…… My rant is over going to sneak back into the shadows were i belong

Maby I didn’t write the question good enough. I also ask if theres should be a rule against it!
And also, some servers that have no rule against cursing ban paople for cursing. For example: Discovery

Rule 3.1 Using coarse language, posting abusive, hateful, racist content in chat, public or private is prohibited under any circumstances. Any kind of flaming, threatening or insulting language directed at other members, factions or server administrators in chat, public or private, is prohibited on server and on forums. RP-related threats are allowed on the server.

Just to clear things up, that’s straight from the Discovery rules.

You know - a lot depends on the context.

If it is not directed at anyone, then it can be let go. But if it is aimed at someone with clear offence intended then of course no.

It is up to the admins to overlook or not if it is in retaliation to the other person commencing hostilities. We have all done this in response, be honest - someone will drive us all to it eventually.

On our servers we uphold 3 rules only:- to play and behave with Fairness, Sportsmanship and Honour towards all other players at all times. These cover everything.

Keep it Simples!
