Censorship has gotten really bad. I liked when you could control profanity filter on client, now it simply blocks the entire message
I think corporations/groups should be allowed to moderate their chat internally and if they don’t need someone swearing a simple request/kick will do the trick
Also bot always censores non english languages for having some english swear word in the middle of a term, which makes it really difficult to communicate when you don’t know, because of which word the filter blocks your message.
Actually the rating has nothing to do whether the game has a chat filter or not. And the game itself is sometimes more insulting then some players.
I think i said something like that somewhere before, but you are right. You can’t refer to someone as an idiot, while the announcer calls you “sons of xxxxxxx”.
Oh sweet more censorship. That just prooves me right even more.
i get the server side solution for reasons of ease of deployment, multiple languages etc.
i also get, since its server side, opt-out might not work properly
but i also would implement it with substitution
only create auto reports on repeated offenses
and exclude private / corp chat.
i can only remember that you could even not write sniper or assault rails, and had to guess which word was offensive yet again. at least its not that terrible anymore.
