Well I think its pretty obvious about the ones that shouldnt be allowed.. But I see what you mean. If I say "crap" and "flubbernuggets" I wouldnt want to be muted.

Keep in mind some of the staff are new and may be unsure if "crap" "lord" "damn" or "freaking!" are swears!

If you are ever muted because of a word you think is unjust. Then please contact us in offense appeals immediately we will contact the staff member and correct them, and unlift your mute (if it is still there.) :)

Thanks!

To clarify, a mutable offense is characterized by the following:

1) excessive spam

2) offensive language

-anything that is a direct form of swearing
-anything that is censored by the chat filter
-anything that is an attempt to bypass the chat filter
-sexual harassment
-standard harassment
-rude or disrespectful comments targeted at players
-similar comments towards staff

3) advertising

- will result in a permanent mute followed by a permanent ban

4) Threatening the server in terms of DDOS or other attack result in a pmute/pban

Please note that some phrases may be deemed offensive despite not meeting this criteria. Punishments are subject to the digression of staff and may be reviewed.

additional notes: certain phrases that may be considered benign may be mutable offenses if they are targeting a player.

example: "Skyblocks is dumb is fine", however "Player123 is dumb" may be considered being rude/disrespectful

Phrases such as "freaking" are not considered swearing, but phrases such as "porkchop" or "stfu" may be considered offensive, especially if targeted towards another player.
