Had a law question pertaining to freedom of speech in online video game communities. I was playing this game the other day online and hanging out in one of the chat lobbies when I saw one of the administrators warn someone for using the word "gay." Isn't this bigoted? Can they legally ban people fro using the word gay and then punish them for saying it? Their terms of service say nothing about it, but it is open-ended to allow admins to do anything they want (it says anything they deem inappropriate, is).
Was wondering if there was some sort of precedent over this. I thought Microsoft lost a lawsuit over banning this word in Xbox 360 user profiles recently.
