So,
today i got chatbanned (automatically) while helping a player and using global chat. Only thing i did was typing this:
"there is no skill cap here, so you can do whatever you want."
Apparently i got banned because "whatever" contains the word "hate". I had others testing this and there was no ban. I can't find another word that could risk a chat ban.
In the past i got chatbans for using "Alchemy", "jewels" (guess why...) and other harmless words. Oh, but you can say "ass" and other things w/o any problems.
So basically i was helping someone and my reward was a chatban. :D
Is it possible to look into this antique ban system and make it more precisely?
Thanks...
Can give it a try, but yeah, it's dumb :-P

In that particular instance it is dumb -- But by no means is it dumb.
For some reason the word "Whatever" picks up on the filtered word "hate" -- And sometimes using the word Hate is cool -- But 90% of the time it is just used for negativity against a player or the shard, using the chat as their own diary instead of adding helpful messages -- many times in the past someone has abused the word and it ruins it for everyone, just like what happens in life.
You know the word is filtered, so simply don't use it --- Sorry you got chat banned for helping a player and I appreciate you doing that, bummer that happened to be the relevant situation when you were banned, but the ban lasts what, 15 minutes? We will live.
Dont use "Blowpipe" for glassblowing either :P .....Nigel
