Weird choice of censorship
To be honest i'v notice somethings that are strange to me. For example "@.@" being censored but not curse words or the spamming of "bowowow...", is curse words not a priority? I thought one of rules is not to swear? I think that should be fixed. Also innapropiate names. I saw this one guy with the name of something mastur*****n. I think thats going over the limit.

The bowowow thing is a joke, started by a player of the same name, and yes, the try to censor stuff, but I don't ever find it useful because of graals way of scrapping the entire sentence if one part is detected as a swear. It's annoying, like if you have "not this stuff again" it will be censored because it thinks your trying to avoid the swear filter by putting a space between the f and the ag in "stufF AGain" and such, Like "I want a drink" was censored for A DRINk for some reason. It ends up being a nuisance trying to pinpoint where in the sentence the game thought was a swear, and anyone who wants to swear and get past the filter just uses v instead of u and 1 or j instead of I and stuff. It might as well be removed, its not very effective |

Yes, the filter is annoying. It blocks words that aren't insulting in any way and doesn't block some things really bad, and there are ways to get around it in PMs.

Yeah the swear filter needs work. The word afking gets censored and words like s**t, a**, and mast****** are not filtered. >_<

it does need work yes but many of the censored words are censored because they have been abused. Example, "You are afking _________."

Zovers... The reason why afking is censored is because fking is listed as a swear.

I have always been a firm supporter of clientside censoring, with the option to turn it off. It would alleviate all of these problems and generally make a better experience. Basically, you have the option to have censoring on or off, and if it's on whenever another player chats it runs through JUST THE WORDS and censors them. It doesn't try to be "smart" and find swear evasion because since it's clientside there's no reason to evade it. These serverside censor methods never work and end up censoring more legit words than actual censored ones. |

Unless you mean determine the censored message serverside, and only send the censored message in place if the filter is on. That would work well. |

We were a guild that poked fun at the name and took towers to spam the map with the really long word.. We defended deadwood by making everyone who entered lag out because we had 14-15 members with lanterns out. BOW joined later. The spam caught on and everyone seems to like saying it.. I've played games where words like "sleep", "chill", and "teddy" are censored.. Graal isn't all that bad to be honest.

Yeah, sometimes the swear filter is downright ******ed. One time a guy pmed me "noob", so I immediately pmed back "yeah? I'm pretty sure YOUR a noob." 2 sec. Later "Please don't use rude words."
