    Swearing is basically inevitable.

    Society has a certain social conduct. If someone wants to swear they can do it in their head. But people should be allowed to play a game without having to deal with such language. And considering there are under age players such as the OP, I would consider it a real concern.

    I will show the parents and children the exact same respect they show me when the soccer moms let their kids run around like tarded Poodles in a cafe or a restaurant. Everyone needs to realize they are not special magical rays of unique sunshine.

    If you do not like the swearing then everytime soemone does it then just block them. Simple as that. And lets be honest, if the parents are freaked out about their kid seeing no no words; then why are they allowed on the internet with chat rooms full of strangers?

    The parents of under age players deserve some form of moderation where language is concerned. And they aren't the only ones that don't like it. Plenty of respectable adults take offence to constant swearing. You would imagine that these people would not have to block people if this weren't a problem to begin with.

    I know that in my playing days, the threat of reporting and the actual reporting usually took care of such behavior. You'd be surprised at the results achieved when decent folks make a stand.

    In other words, don't just quietly submit, but fight for a cleaner chat in your server.

    Forum account or game account or both? What did she access? I assume it was the game account because we've already got an excellent moderating team on the forums.

    Some alliances are "dirtier" than others. My ex-alliance in Wn1, WMD, had an alliance chat that was pretty much business talk the whole time, but I knew of other alliances on the server who used their smutty alliance chat as a recruiting tool. So maybe it's time to switch alliances in that respect.

    I also wonder what your interaction with your mom was in full. Is she worried about you playing Evony in particular or how you use the internet in general? How bad was the swearing she saw? I teach high school and get sworn at multiple times by angry kids every day, so is the swearing on Evony worse that what the potty mouthed kids at your school say? Mom may not be current on what profanity levels are unacceptable today.

    Also, is Mom aware of the skills you are acquiring by playing Evony? You are learning how to cooperate in a group, obey a chain of command, represent your organization, communicate with people from diverse countries and cultures, plan to meet strategic goals and make critical decisions concerning resources and people management. These are many of the "21st Century Skills" which employers are increasingly demanding, and skills which many people don't get the opportunity to learn at school.

    i honestly dont see how you would be offended unless maybe they were being directed at you personally

    even then ud have to be a bit of a wolly to be offended by some random dude in a cht room
    I'm not offended by it. I cause more offence than I take. But I know that there are those who are offended. And they have the right to not have to see this type of thing if they don't want to.

    I think that swearing is inevitable on Evony. Yes some alliances have more "dirty talk" or swearing in them. I personally have an 18+ rule in my alliance just to avoid all potential drama with younger players. However there ARE more mature alliances that do not use foul language and stuff, if it's really causing a problem maybe try switching to one of those. If you take away the freedom to use our words too much I feel that you would lose players because half the enjoyment of the game for most people is the social aspect and having fun with your alliance. Just my thoughts XD
