Hi Hawgie,
I am sorry that you may have experienced this, and this sort of double standard is not something we would like to propagate, but there are a few things here I would like to address as it could be a misunderstanding of the rules, we are a mature server and expect our players act accordingly, therefore swearing in not inherently banned, and we are not fussed by the use of it. Where we would step in would be when this sort of language is used to attack other players as we do deem this to be unacceptable. I suspect you to have only joined recently to our server and many of our players have been around for years and in the case for some over 5 years, this should be a testament to the sort of community we have built here. I can understand your perceived double standard, but could you think that your response was a little sudden and aggressive and that was the reason you was warned? Once you get to know our players and staff team, you will see that we can have a joke and that we are people which do this as we want to ensure the community we once joined is the community others can experience.
With the issue of advertising a server, it could have just sneaked past our staff and as we are just people such things are bound to happen, we are not perfect, and we are not claiming to be as such. If you have any more information or proof I am happy to discuss that with you, or if you would like you could take it up with a Senior Admin, as I do agree the same rules should apply to everyone.
