The "curse words" are in the Gallery of Evil and NQII (don't know about I) ... I do not use profanity, that's just not my way. And what's profane to one person could be normal to another. However, some people have used the words from those 2 places on the site and have gotten warnings. And are confused by the warning. It has a very "Do as I say, Not as I do" flavor to it.
Ah yes. The good ol d-word controversy.
Speaking of which, I had the dubious pleasure of watching someone get iced in avatar chat for saying the word "hell" a few times yesterday afternoon. O_o
And yeah, that's one Neo used themselves before. Just like the d-word.

I can see where some people object to the d-word and h-word...they are indeed strong words, but I dunno if they are *that* bad. You hear worse on daytime TV these days.
In general though, my stand on this topic is where it always has been. I still think it would be both in TNT's best intrest (and the players) to make an official FAQ for the site. Tell them what they can and can't do. Can they have custom shields? Can they play games on a spare account? Why can't they say ebay? Are guild contests allowed? What about giving something away?
All these problems could be settled with a simple FAQ page. If they don't know the "official stance" on some subjects, 10 minutes in the boardroom for a staff meeting should be all it takes. Heck, if they want, I'll even offer to write it and code it for them if they felt they didn't have time. -_-
BOTTOM LINE=NEOPETS NEEDS A UPDATED FAQ. SARAH THE HELPFUL ZAFARA DON'T CUT IT.
