@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
Original post modified with Assistance on how to turn the filter on or off and how to petition.
So, while I can abide that there should not be swearing (as per the EULA), it should not be to accomodate someone, who as far as I know, shouldn't be playing this game in the first place when not totally supervised, including having dear old dad click the [I Accept] button.
Minors enter into contracts every day.
...
(Don't argue the law with a lawyer!)
Local_Man is beyond right in this instance anyway. No only does the EULA address this circumstance explicitly (4.a), all non-essential contracts ("luxury") in the United States are made valid by parents' consent... no matter how old the child is. Age of Majority in the USA also varies by the circumstance in question. AFAIK there is no federal precedence on the matter, but there are states at least where a 13 year old can enter into a contract when it is dependent on a contract their guardian is in. This includes EULAs for software that their parents are paying for and ringtone "subscriptions" on their parents' cellphones.
No matter how you slice it, children can legitimately play the game in accord with the EULA.
People who swear in public channels can't.
In regards to the OP, just take a gander at all the "Generic" heroes. One of the best things about CoH is that there's a responsive and responsible support staff. If they swear, ask them not to. Perhaps remind them that it's a suspendable and bannable offense. I have been suspended for it, so I'm totally being a hypocrite right now. It was my own fault though, and it won't happen again! If they keep on swearing and being offensive, petition! Haha!
