Mecha 118 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Hello again. I made this suggestion in a different topic but it was locked because it went way off track. I think the filter isnt working as it should. the option to turn the filter off will let you use any profanity, without filtering YOU. I think it would be better if the filter affected what you see instead of what you post. In other words, if you have filter on, it should censor every profanity for you that is posted by others. It doesnt make sense to me that if you have filter turned on but someone else doesnt you will still see their profanity because THEY have the filter turned off. Its working backwards in my opinion. In yet other words, it should affect incoming profanity, not outgoing.

Corona virus 230 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah because the ignore list is broken right? How sad, suggest the devs to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecha 118 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 what does ignore list have to do with fixing the way the added filter functions? ignore and filter have 2 distinct purposes. nabnecro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona virus 230 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) If swearing offends an individual so badly that they need a filter they can in fact ignore the one who swears. Why is there even a filter anyway, we all know what words lie behind the @$!#, its the same word, just different presentation.

Mecha 118 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) thats not the point. Ignore list is to completely ignore one individual. Filter is to mask profanity. And its not working at its best the way it is. if you think its useless and dont like it then dont use it and do things your way. Im sure there are people who like this feature. It doesnt matter why. Could be age, religion, or whatever, thats not the point. if it was added it must be for a reason. And I think it needs fixing.

nabnecro 304 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah, that's why it is called a FILTER option. If you turn it on but it still doesn't filter what everyone else says, devs named it wrong, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For children who play this game, that have no idea what some words mean, then they learn said words, and use them. Or adults who get offended by bad words, cause they got called them it a lot when they were young, idk. Basically it's like certain Japanese videos, why are they censored? we know what is behind the blur, In the end, the filter is pretty stupid, to block the words you write? lol Edited February 23, 2015 by Sulla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x6t3nc3 56 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Should expect profanity in any online game - besides - you do not necessarily need words to communicate in an unholy manner, buy meme smilies ===3 Paste that to world chat, like every other player nowadays Edited February 24, 2015 by Physik x6t3nc3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecha 118 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 The point I was trying to get across was not whether we need the filter or not. Its that it isnt working properly. Its working as a self-censor. nabnecro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabnecro 304 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 yeah, sadly noone got the point of this post. we don't really care about profanity, but since devs already decided to put a filter for that, at least make it work correctly. absalom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosotraes 350 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I agree. It's a nice suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absalom 54 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I agree also, the filter was implemented wrong. Its basically useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azebu 92 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I agree with you. However, a double filter is better. Basically, if you have the filter enabled, the message you send will be censored by your client, and then if receiver also has filter enabled, it will be censored again by his client. What's the difference you might ask? Very simple. If you're talking with friend who has filter disabled, and you have it enabled, without being aware it can be disabled, he'll say something along lines ">having filter enabled" and then you'll realize it can be disabled. It just works. It also shows who's a pussy that can't handle the heat. If swearing offends an individual so badly that they need a filter they can in fact ignore the one who swears. Why is there even a filter anyway, we all know what words lie behind the @$!#, its the same word, just different presentation.
