Effective May 28, 2011, any presence of profanity in the SL will automatically get an acoount BANNED.
Unlike in the forums where we have a chance to edit and censor out the words we type, we cannot take back anything that has been posted in the SL.
I believe this is a fair action following this simple logic:
If you did it once, you can do it again and again. So, there's no use in issuing warning bars in this case.
To set things straight, let us define PROFANITY:
1) Wikipedia
Profanity is the act of using rude words. The adjective is profane. Profanities can also be called swear words, curse ("cuss") words, dirty words, bad words, foul language, obscenity or obscene language, or expletives.
From:
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity
Profanity is a show of disrespect, or a desecration or debasement of someone or something. Profanity can take the form of words, expressions, gestures, or other social behaviors that are socially constructed or interpreted as insulting, rude, vulgar, desecrating, or other forms.
Profane language often takes the form of cursing, swearing, expletives, bad words, dirty words, nasty words, cussing, blasphemy, and irreverent, obscene, foul, indecent, strong, pejorative, choice, bad, or adult language, and sometimes even "mature" language.
