Yes, there was. I don't know where it was, though. Could provide some interesting background, and related discussion.
Meh, I should search before I post. Here it is:
Topic: Rework the Vulgarity flag feature
http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,1795.0.html
Good find, in a place I never would have thought to look. Thanks James and Indirik.
Based on that discussion, I am personally thinking that a Magistrate ruling that clarifies the intent and acceptable uses of the Vulgarity reporting system might very well prove to be helpful. It is clearly an area that is very poorly understood by the community, and I base this not only on that thread but also on some of the messages I have personally seen when I was the one randomly selected to judge a message reported by someone else. For the record, I have just about never agreed with a vulgarity report. Most reported messages are almost entirely innocuous. I have generally subscribed to Indirik's sentiment about how it should be used, as elucidated in the linked thread.
