Just because a few NPC's occassionaly use that word does not mean you need to spew it all over the system chat indiscriminately. Not that many times, and not just for the sake of cursing it out loud. It makes you sound like a little kid - we'll allow it to be used in context, but that was pushing it.

An LSF Pilot (which I was hostile to and under engagement with) had a problem that I called him a bastard, which as far as I could tell was in Role-Play.
So I started following him around screaming "bastard", directed at that character.
Now you are telling me this is pushing it? For what? Finding a word that angers a character and then promptly use it just to be a bastard, which my character is.
This sounds more like someone openly inviting me to verbally attack a person (in-character) and then once he died, he revenge-sanctioned.
But whatever.
You keep motivating me with this stuff to simply have a standard set-message engagement notice and then kill everyone. Because as far as I can tell the minute I go a little beyond that (also known as Role-Playing), someone tries to get back at you.
What did I say? You want to use it once, that's not a problem. You want to say it 6 times in a row, so that it looks like you're a puerile child, I'm going to call you on it.

Please tell me how many times I can say the word "bastard" per day so I fully know the rules next time.
2?
5?
7.5?
Wait can I say the word "bastard" one time per system maybe? I'm not following here Mister Admin.
Is this applied to any word by the way? For example can I say "hello" six times in a row? How about words similar to the nature of "bastard". Such as "moron" or "stupid".
Can I say those two words six times in a row?
Oh I got another question! What if my character actually was Role-Playing as a "puerile child" or at least carried a similar mindset to one, is that illegal Role-Play? Like being a ghost? Please inform me whenever you can, thanks.
Zeltak, smartassery aside, you may now say it once, everyone else can use their collective common sense.
Weed, you take a bank balance hit for being here and posting contrary to the rules.

I be sure to note that down, but what about this new rule I heard about that puts a certain limit on how many times you can state specific words within a preset time-frame?
I mean, am I wrong to say that if you break a rule, you get sanctioned right? Or are there hidden rules as well only visible to moderators and Admins?
By the way,

You should really bring such words of wisdom back to your Admin Team, I'm fairly confident they can be useful.
I be sure to continue my fantastic Role-Playing through the usage of set-messages and engagement notices, else you might break one of these hidden rules. We don't want that to happen do we?
Have a good day bastards. (I used my bastard ticket for the day.)
Collective common sense is a two way street here, be nice to see some displayed by quite a few more
players here and on the server, especially in this thread.
If you fail to see the point here, frankly, arguing the point of a warning lacks a certain amount of the
above mentioned commodity.

Also specifically - this was a WARNING, not a sanction. Nothing disappeared from your ship or your bank account. We can do that, you know - warn you when your behavior is pushing the limits of what is acceptable. Which was all that WAS happening here...
