Sorry I have to ask this as there is no real way to dispute things like this fairly.

I said in in AV today which was being played very poorly;

"WTF.. GET SH BUNKER YOU FRACKING MORONS" and someone who I will not name on my server Scilla reported me to the GM and then told me because of the first 3 letter word it voliated Blizzards policy.

I have a problem with that. WTF could mean many things which aren't bad. And Fracking or Fracken is a term used in the new Battlestar Galactica TV series so if that was a bad term it would not even be mentioned on nation daytime TV.

I just got a warning but why waste your time Blizzard in doing that when you are assuming too much, unless you want me to report everything that people have say things to me personally or as a group to the GM site'n its offensive.... ?

This, Natahuata, is the pertinent section of our Harassment Policy (emphasis added):

Q u o t e:
Inappropriate
This category includes both clear and masked language which:

* Is a mildly inappropriate reference to human anatomy or bodily functions
* Is otherwise considered objectionable

While we cannot read your mind and determine what you intended, we must take into consideration the negative impact that certain phrases have on our players, and in turn take the appropriate action. My advice is to avoid any language that could be interpreted as offensive or otherwise masked profanity.
