Language Filter Is Crap

[Noxifer]

To return to the original topic... I'd also like to point out how things that aren't cuss words get censored. For example, me and an FC member were goofing off some while back, and then he went "Cal is serenading me!" in FC chat, and then he went "Wait, what?" because he had the profanity filter on. And apparently that sentence got censored to "****renading me" or something. Took a bit of googling to figure out that it interpreted "cal is se" as a French profanity.

In my opinion, the filter should work on actual words, and if people circumvent those filters by adding spaces or full stops or other things ("100% handwor|<" springs to mind), they can and should be reported. Filtering out random combinations of non-profane words because they resemble profanity in another language is, as I see it, over the top. Especially if the filter at the same time doesn't catch the words that are intended as swearing.

That is exactly *why* I don't use it.

Ha! I had to re-read that post, it made me chuckle.

There was an idea floating around of custom language filter entries; I'd totally like to take that up a notch and have SE allow us a completely separate chat filter to their built in one; that way we can add our own entries into it and leave the rest of the chat log (And Cal's serenading) untouched~

I don't use the ingame chat filter just because it is so awful, but I'd totally love a customizable one :3

I don't use it either (because I'm not particularly bothered by cussing but mostly because I'm terribly curious and would spend far too long time trying to figure out what it was that had been censored XD), but that doesn't mean people who do use it should be ridiculed and told to 'grow up' =)

XD Have a like. Both because you made me smile and because I agree that a customizable filter is a good idea.
