The AntiCheat is to Blame

[OnePointEight.exe]

The chat filter is getting less strong, but it still seems a bit stronger than it should be. So this is going to be my explanation for how it got so bad.

So a long time ago sentinel was utter garbage, so garbage players had to report to actually get someone banned, players reported all the time, most people had obs ready to be hotkeyed, because this actually cleansed the server and was something everyone could do, then staff looked for this in helper applications, having reports made it more likely to become staff, this truly incentivized making reports, Hackers were in practically in every game, someone could make 10 reports a day. Then the anti cheat got better, Hackers became really rare. No one has any thing to report anymore but everyone is still used to writing reports, so people looked deeper and deeper for things to report, thus why party chats don't allow swearing.

How many of those were Hackers and ddos threats? Aka things that actually inpact others greatly?

I found maybe 3 hackers every week. I know sentinel bans lots of hackers, but that is a good thing.
Most of my reports are teamers.

What I was talking about is how many of your reports actually are making the server a cleaner place rather than just farming reports.

Global chat behavior rules were not implemented to provide reporters things to report for...o_O

I completely understand, however since reporters ran out of Hackers to report, more and more chat reports are made, as time goes on people want more and more reports so even lesser things started to be worthy of a ban, more and more words were worthy of mutes, thus making the chat filter where it is today. I personally don't think swear words should be mute worthy (everyone knows all them :/) however I completely agree with racial slurs, ddos and death threats resulting in mutes and maybe even bans, over time, the line between punishment worthy and not punishable changes and I think that players reporting them sped up the process.
