Chat filter only hurts the server

Why are words being blocked if they offend people?  like who cares get over it use the ignore list.   A big thing about this is that only words that offend certain people are blocked,  why are words that are racist against natives or Asian people not blocked?   Why is the P word blocked but i can still say stuff like penis and dick?    Long story short chat filter is dumb and players were a lot happier before it was added.

We try to keep the chat clean, as to not discourage new players who log in for the first time. We know everyone on this game is generally 20+ years old. But that doesnt mean they enjoy seeing negative stuff. Keeping global as positive and clean as possible is one of the concerns when it comes to new players.

okay fair enough i understand that and i do agree it is bad for new players.  My only real issue is that it only protects certain groups of people.  I myself am part Native and not a single native racial term is blocked. 

added edit -  That being said i do not wanna see more stuff being filtered.   +1 add a filter toggle button suggested by Kizl

Yeah, it wasnt added very long ago. 3 months ago maybe? Certain words are definitely used more often than others, and i think those were the words added when the censor was first implemented. Feel free to PM me a list of words and ill bring it up to n0m and Billy and have them added to the list. Ill also ask them to maybe add a few more words in the mean time.

We appreciate your concern, and player input is always taken into consideration.

If you ask me there should be a way to turn off the filter. But add or stuff to it as well.

As of recently this server been banning and muting players for bull shit. Server is ran by mostly sweds they don't believe in the freedom of speech. I was recently brought to jail for making true statements about one of are beloved mods and harassed about it. People are banned and muted for speaking there beliefs nowadays days and there is little to no transparency left here. What do you expect when most of them rain from the part of the world where 90 percent of the population is blond hair and blue eyes.

Weve looked into new players and especially the ones who registered, logged in,  then logged out and haven't played again. We look through chat history in those times and there is a lot of stuff that some people just really dont care to see. Which is why we have to ask on to many occasions for flaming be taken to ::2. We want this server to keep growing, and sometimes we have to take measures to make it more friendly. If that means censoring 15 players because they think they should be allowed to be as mean and nasty to everyone because of our age, then so be it.

The censor is a way for us to enforce the rules without being present. Its not the most effective, but after seeing this post it seems to be working. We are not here to curse at people and put them down. And sometimes the adults on this server forget the rules, like keeping trash talk in ::2.

Remember to have fun, and follow the rules smile

Have a good day.

that's cos you a virgin, those words don't belong in the same sentence. wink

Seriously though it's not that people are "sensitive and weak" or can't handle certain words 90% of the time....the problem is that if a new player comes on the game and sees nothing but stupidity on global chat they're not going to be as inclined to play.

It's all about the first IMPRESSION. I for one want to see a reasonably mature group of players when I start a new server. Wilderness shit talking is fine and expected, but when you have people repeatedly saying the most awful, crude, most senseless things in a failed attempt to be funny, it really does give off a negative aura and will turn new players away. Nobody wants to be surrounded by jackasses in real life, they will instead fine a more suitable group of people to be around. Same thing applies to a MMORPG...and is even more importantly critical in a small MORPG like a private server.

Bottom line, Grow the fk up and act your age. Quit writing dumb BS on global. You can shit talk people in the wilderness, but be intelligent about it. Throw 'em an insult with some wit behind it instead of emotional whiny stupidity. That's what turns new players away.

Maybe we can remove it from ::2, but a censor will remain on ::1
