  • Fix or turn off chat filtering!!!!

    This is getting too much where words are filtered because some are being considered as bad words. The following normal words are being censored as a result of this mess up:

    Popularity
    Segment
    Paradigm
    Figment
    Screw (don't know why this is even filtered if we're talking about hardware)

    and I am sure there are other words that people are having a hard time trying to circumvent to say it out loud.

    Reasons why it's too much:
    1. It costs a bullhorn to use in chat. Since the new servers don't have these, they are still deducted by some means. After so many used, then you have to spend balens to get more.
    2. It confuses people in chat when a filter is used as they try to figure out what you are saying. And if you're helping them, it's worse.
    3. Where 1 and 2 are used in combination, it ticks the player off big time that they don't want to chat unless they need to.

    I am going to assume the "Lazy Man's" approach when the filter was set: "text containing any of the following". You need to lose that! It should have programmed to say: "the EXACT word ONLY", not contain. This way, other words should be safe as it didn't contain the affected words. Frankly, the chat filtering should be a setting that a player should have on their console to turn off bad language or leave it on. I understand a need for such, but it's stunting the rest of our vocabulary.

    So fix this! And I am done ranting.

        it was sarcasm, but rather than deleting the message entirely, the mods decided to change the content.

        apparently they don't like to admit that wartune advertises extensively on porn sites, and that their ads are utterly inappropriate for the same children they want to protect in the chat box (that presumably don't play the game)

          Having the option to turn filter on and off is a good idea.

              The funny thing with that chat filter is that I actually learned new "bad" words that I didn't even knew they were bad. Thanks Wartune to teach me new curse and bad language lol XD

              I'm agree though that they need to add an on/off option in the filter thing...ppl are getting around the filter anyway by addind " . " or space or even by changing a "u" for a "v" or stuff like that anyway...

                if there were to be a button to rutn it off, there wouldnt be any reason to exist in the first place. the filtered words are pula and gm which are both bad in the romanian language
