Q: I was banned from Chat Rings, I didn't know the word I said was not allowed or I did not mean to say what I said?

Q: Why does Chat Rings not allow some words that are allowed by other places?
A: Easy answer: We are not those other places nor do we attempt to be. Longer Answer: We have placed the most common used swear words on our restricted list, we stick to this standard and do not in any way sway from it. At any given time Chat Rings could have a visitor that is offended by the use of profanity, profanity is not required to communicate there for we do not think there is a place on chat for it.
