Chat filtering hilarity.

[Shika]

No its not. Filter are everywhere in the WorldWideWeb, Games etc. Its for childsafety in first place. If i open a Site and Boobs jump out of a PopUp Window, its nothing my kids should see. So im glad they added Filter, where i can Block shit like that.

Its the same with Chatfilter.

The game is rated a 12... and if there a children under that age watching the screen then meh, that's down to the parents/guardian. If a child of 12 has not heard the term testicles or semen by that age then I can see sex education being a complete shocker to them lol.

On a serious note, I don't think the OP has an issue with there being a filter in place that people can use if they so wish. It is just that the words it decides to put a "profanity" filter on are a bit random. Why filter testicles (plural) but not testicle (singular)? If you see the singular you still know that the person typing is talking about their nutsack.....

The brilliant filter i remember is "Cl***" or "Class".

It'll never be as bad as Phantasy Star Online, so be thankful.

You couldn't say Saturday, because it contained the word "turd."

What about if you were born with just one but got surgery to add a second, isnt that an accomplishment?

what if you were born with none but your twin brother donated one to you then you each had 1

Eh, at least the thing worked straight. 'Ever played Pangya? It had a similarly moronic chat filter, but it was badly optimised and responded to unknown characters as profanity. The problem there being.. they didn't configure it for the differences between European and American English character locations in the fontset. And it muted you after three flags on the filter.

Really though I think a lot of these issues come from the filters being coded for asian languages, so they don't really build them to accommodate English cuss-words flexibly or so.. maybe. 'Least that's how it used to be I think.

Anyway, yes, it's toggle-able, so yay.

If it doesn't even work, then why have it at all, that is my point.

Its a simple "Badword Filter". You also can see that in a lot of Chats, Forums, Games. But there you go.. they added a Toggle for it, so i dont understand the Problem the OP got?!

You do realize that i'm pointing out that it's only filtering the plural?
It would be similar to it filtering F**king, but not F**k.

"Testicle and his buddy"

Testicle Twins.

This reminds me of the days of old when playing FFXI and trying to talk about your new Bone Ring and it came out as "???? ?ing". Hilarity ensued for years.
