"Hell" and "damn" are not bad words!

[HeroPlayer 797]

Maybe they just don't want people to use this kind of language in chat.

If you watch movies and reality TV, you'd realize that the "f word" and "other word for poop" are usually censored.  Yet, the words "hell" and "damn", are not.  "Hell" and "damn" are just words like "crap".  They can be, but are not always used in an offensive manner.  That doesn't make them bad, because just about any word can be used as an insult.  "You're face is big and slimey!"  That was very offensive, wasn't it?  Yet, it did not contain "damn", "crap", "hell" or anything like that.  Not a single word in it was offensive, it was just the meaning that the phrase had when it was put together.  "Hell" and "damn" are NOT bad words.  They are simply words that parents don't want their young children to say, because really, they aren't words you can just say anytime.  Using "crap" or "damn" in a speech during a funeral, would be very rude, wouldn't it?  Yet, it isn't necessarily an insult, it's just rude to say in some places.  However, many of us know when and when not to use these words, so it's ok for us to be hearing and saying them.  Moreover, they should be acceptable words here in Tanki Online.  It's just the actual swear words and insults that are unacceptable.

You are both correct and incorrect at the same time.  "Dick" can be a guy's name, and "pussy" can be a cat, and often refers to someone who is scared.  However, some words have more than one meaning.  These words are examples of those, and they can have an inappropriate meaning.  Whether you should be banned for saying them or not, is determined by the sentence you say.

 

Here are some examples of appropriate ways of using them:

 

"Hey Dick, can I ask you a question"?  (The person's name is Dick)

"That person who harassed you is a pussy."  (Saying the person was a coward/pussy cat)

 

We know what ways of using these words are inappropriate.  For example, saying "suck my" and then one of those words, would be inappropriate, and are bannable offenses in the chat and forum.

To be honest, I disagree with your statement, and tend to agree with those who say "context is what matters".

 

Almost every known swear word originated from a normal word which was once used in regular vocabulary, and is still, strictly speaking, a normal word. These words have been misused so many times, that they automatically register as a bad word in nearly everyone's mind.

 

Alternatives to "female dog", "excrement", and an abundance of sexually explicit vocabulary is still used in regular speech from time to time. Only when it is thrown into an insulting context, it becomes a profanity.

It's about how it is used. I mean, let's take the word 'drunk' for example. 

 

I, for example, got banned for saying devs are drunk, for insults, by Irontank1v. So, hell and damn can be also used as profanity. So, sometimes you can get banned, sometimes you won't

[r_EddyBeGood0 45]

We are all aware that there are many ways to express yourself in the English language, words mentioned above could result in a ban depending in what context they are used.

 

If you think you have been unfairly banned as a result of this, send me a PM.
