Lately a lot of people seem to make jokes in /2 by using skill or talent links, for example:
"Anal [Toughness] ftw!"

Can profanities in public chats get you penalized? Or does Blizzard not care about these things because there is a profanity filter available?
Personally I find these quite funny, but it kinda got out of hand last night, spam spam spam.
I report everyone who does this. It runs so rampant on Blackhand that I ultimately was getting frustrated by the lack of blizzard response so I petitioned as well with my concern. The GM advised me that everyone who gets reported DOES get actioned, even if it's just through the right click->report option. This means I'm personally responsible for around 200 people getting actioned I figure.

Now that said, the action is a "stop that fool" e-mail. One of my guildmates was laughing that he got written up for it... I nearly kicked him out of the guild over the fact that he had been doing it. /sigh.

It's not so much that it offends, if people wanted to do this in general I'd just leave the channel... but the trade channel DOES get used for trade far too often to just leave.
