    Filter

    The filter in this game is too strict. It filters innocent words such as basement. Or if you say something such as wish and it right next to each other, it comes up as ba?????t or wi?? ??. Could you tone the thing down to only filter actual profanity, rather than something like what I showed as examples?

    The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen,
    The clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings,
    Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave
    But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

    Haha, I was like "Why would basement be bleeped - oh."


    But in all seriousness, if someone can't handle typed swear words then they don't belong on the internet.

    I'm going to make it short: forget it :P
    There is no reliable way for a filter to detect if you're talking about semen or basements, the whole idea of a chat filter is pretty pointless as there is always a way around it and you can't keep expanding it else it gets ridiculous.

    I'm really happy SE gives us an option to turn it off, it's less hassle that way.

    I am too, and it's actually easy to find.
