ez = filtered, minor trash talkrekt = filtered, minor trash talk
however,
nigger/nigga = not filtered, insta mute
cunt = not filtered, insta mute
faggot = not filtered, insta mute
many other racial slurs / bad words = not filtered, insta mute
kys, hang etc = not filtered, insta week mute (or more)
seems a little odd!

Keep in mind, this is a global rule and not a European/NA East/NA West-only rule.
Either way, that's a rule. And I find it hard to believe you specifying how "FUCK OFF CUNT" doesn't make an impact on anyone you direct it towards whatsoever. I don't think you know this yet but not everyone's like you and takes that insult with a grain of salt when it's spontaneously spewed at you when you're not expecting it.
Let alone the "CUNT" part of it because apparently it's Australian slang and therefore shouldn't be mutable to any regional player according to you, do you think a new player wouldn't take "FUCK OFF" even remotely seriously (doesn't matter if it means little or a lot to them) when they're trying to play in peace, not expecting a highly toxic player to lash out at them? We're not exempting Australians or any regional players from being disrespectful. How about stop labeling people as different names if you want to avoid the risk of being punished?
We're going to continue muting for disrespect and tough luck if you don't like it. Learn to take your anger elsewhere and not release it on our players if you don't want to get punished. Not a lot to comply with and fairly easy to do. We can be a lenient staff team but people like you are encouraging us to change that drastically.
We mute usually based on context. That goes for inappropriate IGN's, phrases with swear words, death wishes etc. What you said was directed towards someone or something and had a clear type of context to it to fully understand, which ultimately lead to a valid mute. You definitely didn't need to put the last word in. Or anything in general.
EDIT: We censor all swear words = People riot on forums to be more lenient
We don't censor all swear words = People riot on forums to be less lenient

IT'S NOT DISRESPECT
I understand that anyone who lives in America has a little cry when anyone calls them a bad word over the internet :(
but we aussies don't CARE
"cunt" in aussie means "mate" in any other language, i mean the word "nigga" is all over rap music which most players listen to and no one including black people find it offensive nowadays, yet people are literally getting muted for a week for "Racism", seems a little over the top to me.
Muting for the word "faggot" is fucking retarded, it is literally not offensive to anyone and you mute for "Homophobic slurs" just because of a single meaning of the word. If you're going to mute for "faggot" for being homophobic then how about you mute "bitch" or "slut" for "misogynistic slurs"?
Honestly, I'd think most people would agree that the rules are getting a little out of hand, especially considering the new mute system where people are literally getting muted for a week and in some cases a month just for saying a non-offensive word.

Are you "everyone"? Have you talked to "everyone"? Have you asked "everyone" if they're okay with being called an undoubtedly racial slur?
From what I'm getting, "everyone" in your terms mean people who you've talked to so far. You haven't talked to everyone in this world so stop generalizing everyone as 'okay' with being called a racial slur.
Yes, people get muted for racism. Our goal isn't to let racist players harass other people without getting punished. They need to get what they truly deserve. If you label someone as probably one of the worst kinds of words for discrimination for the color of their skin, don't expect us to be lenient on that.
Whoever you're talking to online, you don't always truly know who's behind the computer. If you don't know them, don't discriminate them for no apparent valid reason. We have 0 tolerance for racism and you can't argue that the 'n' word isn't racist or could be interpreted as racist to someone. Be smart and don't say it in the first place.

Because they scale firstly. We're not letting you be punished for the same exact time period each time you break the same rule. The new mute system should knock some sense into repeating offenders to stop doing the same thing unless you want a longer punishment because you never learnt a thing from the previous one.

The word "nigga" is a racist slur that derives from "nigger", which, in turn, derived from "negro", all of which are things slave owners would call their slaves back in the early days of America.
Do many black people use the word "nigga" as a way to refer to their friends? Yes. Are many black people uncomfortable with the word when used out of that context, especially by people who aren't black? Yes. Do we have a way of knowing if people are black or if they're offended by it here on Badlion? No. So do we mute for it? Yes.
I don't know whether or not you're black, but I do know that you don't speak for all black people. Racial slurs are muteable, end of story.
As for your "misogynistic slurs" point, the words bitch and slut don't have the same history of association with awful things like slavery in America. However, some mods do mute for them, under the broad category of toxic behavior. "Cunt" is almost always muted.
As for fuck, well, it's just slang for sexual intercourse. Not targetting anyone. It's an expletive, not a slur, and is considered far less offensive.
