Please stop calling me "banned" or "kicked"!

Hello, Middle Ages Livers, why do you always call or write only "banned"? But I don't come from Middle Ages, just come from current time ( futuristic time ) I never call "banned" because "banned" is an incompatible verb for futuristic time. I call only "forbidden" because my understanding is only "forbidden".

And why do you call "kicked" if I kick ball against computer but computer is not soccer, just is a computer, too. Computer doesn't play football, just work for printing, writing or eating power/energy. But I never call "kicked" because I sit at computer how do I kick computer? Do you mean I would damage computer? That's really crazy.
I call only "removed" or "thrown out" like "You have been removed from server." That's correct for my understanding.

Please change both verbs now!

Whatever I will report government? I am serious because I feel stupid if I buy games from Steam and I feel painful with "banned" or "kicked" that's why I feel like somebody insults me. I really hate who calls or writes incompatible verbs.

Thanks for understanding me!

Kick means only sport language. Like football, basketball etc

Could you please take English lessons from someone who is fluent in the language. It would help solve all your misunderstandings better than any LLM could.

Taking his replies so far into consideration, English lessons would hardly be helpful here.

As some of the other posters have pointed out correctly, it seems OP has put a particular emotional understanding of a specific word into his head and is under no circumstances willing to accept the obvious errors in his line of reasoning. That's why people have suggested he just set his steam client to his native German language, which has indeed a somewhat milder form of designating a banned user, ausgeschlossen, i.e. excluded from discussion, if a little word bothers him so much.

OP's ostentatious stubbornness in this matter is quite similar to religious fanatics who fly into a rage whenever you tell them how Jesus Christ and the authors of the gospel knew nothing of a 'hell' but only ever spoke of 'Hades' in the original Greek bible as the Hellenic underworld was the only mental concept they had at their disposal when they wrote their stories. The Germanic concept of 'hell' would enter the Christian canon almost a full 800 years later. But yeah, good luck talking some reason into actual enemies of reason, LOL

Reminds me of an old YouTube video, really just a skit, about a German guy who doesn't understand English idioms.

Ah, found it:

You do know that different people have different skill levels in speaking a language, right? Just because you have a bad example here, doesn't mean that everyone is like that.

If I am able to do it while working for a living, I would imagine anyone with even a minimal amount of free time could. Hell, if I was retired, I would be able to read everything to respond to anything.

This old song and dance again. Those are valid terms, even in the online German community. They are understood.

If the comment you quoted was deleted, they usually delete yours as well.

It's to just clean up the thread.

You guys are being unfair. The OP is right. We need to use different language.

I suggest suspended or expelled, from my school days. A long time ago, they probably call it a time out now.

Or excommunicated - ahh, the classics.

Unwelcome also springs to mind. Persona non grata. UNCLEAN, to really go back to plague days.

So how many more ways can we show that there are worse things to be called than kicked or banned?

Who is OP?

But some games care respectful verbs like "removed "

Why do you call kick? It is impossible for destroying computer or laptop if you use laptop then how do you kick. It is really bad way. I want to respect everyone like some people don't feel good if some users left from Steam that's why bad harassment from Steam Network.

Example user is very new and join Steam and shocked if user doesn't know about some bad verbs.

Please stop begging me with incompatible verbs for Steam!

Thanks for everything!
