Some games instantly ban you from chat if you write alt f4 as an anti-hazing measure. I, being of patrician’s taste, ask in global chat for the command to close a window and giddily watch as microphone icons disappear from the player list.

    A blacklist for words is such a lazy solution, lol.

    I remember back in the old days of Westwood, their online games had a strict list of bannable words, and it was always fun to bait people into using them with seemingly innocent questions. "Hey, I'm doing a history report on WWII, does anyone know the name of the leader of the SS? Himm-something?"

    Some poor schmuck: "You mean Himmler?"

    User "Poor Schmuck" has been banned for 6 hours.

    Even funnier when the devs or admins strolled by and offered a simple “lol” immediately after the ban. Very goofy times.

    That's just stupid, it is stupid prank but ultimately harmless.

    I can almost guarantee there are more important things they should be worrying about.

    Getting kids, and the bait takers were overwhelmingly children, to recognize the value in avoiding internet people felt like more good than harm. Plenty of casual bigots. Feeling welcome among them is unhealthy
