Hey guys
I hope you all are doing well. My apologies for not spending much time on the thread. I've been super busy with work lately, and now with my injury from the car accident, it's hard to sit down for long periods of time at the computer.
Congrats to any and all achievements that have been accomplished lately, and good luck to all those who have new goals they are working on.
I`m still trying to finish mining, but its slow going (i'm procrastinating*lol*)

Please remember that while Jagex has added toggle for the profanity filter, it is not a license to swear up a blue streak. Players can still get in trouble for swearing, and it is still offending towards other people, so I'd much rather not have it in my chat. There really is no need for it as there are other words to use. With the profanity toggle, jagex is hoping that players will be mature with its "use", and part of that maturity is respecting the players around you and do your best not to offend them.
I understand that players do get upset in certain situations, and sometimes it does slip, in which case, we should offer a warning, or a reminder to use more appropriate language. However, if someone is more prone to use language, even after warnings have been issued, they may likely be booted.
Slip-ups are more believable in real life because when it comes to typing, you actually have to type it and then click enter, so its not quite a "slip" of speech, so to speak.
Remember, if rules are followed, no one gets booted, and no one gets warned. If rules are broken, you may get booted, even without warning; and really to be honest, nearly everyone who uses our chat, knows the chat rules by now and can't really complain if they get booted for breaking them.
If a player receives a warning that is because the chat general being nice and wanting to give the player a second chance, but sadly, these second chances are getting abused and we are getting a little frustrated with that.
