So, a bunch of people on the global chat have been complaining about the word filter. Many words (especially german, apparently), have the letters that spell ass in them, like assistance, and this makes the entire word a curse.

Also, the filter is very broken, as it seems any capital letters in a curse makes the word filter not see it.

yes, i know i will improve that eventually.

Some words which may follow might be disturbing to some readers. Reader descretion is advised

Okay , so its good that this filter is active. But it has problems- serious problems

In the game where we and doom are partners against coolguy and hardeep; i used two words in a chat to doom- assassin and horsemen. No profanity? I am afraid the filter doesnot think so. It said i used 'ass' because of which i had to forget all grammer and spell assassin as asasin. I thought the problem was over but no , the filter accused me of using semen in the chat..
Now seriously horsemen???
I was laughing for like 10 minutes

Please rectify it dev..

Possible Solution
(per Detros)

So let's come with a whitelist. That may be the one way, other one would be to check only whole words against list of profanities.
assassin, assassins, (assassinates, assassinated, assassinatable)
documentation
horsemen

Here is the current whitelist:

Code: Select all

static final String[] profaneWhitelist = new String[]{
"password",
"pass",
"assassin",
"documentation",
"horsemen",
};

yes, but i beleieve it is not a really serious problem, that would be urgent to upgrade - or is it?

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 8:19 am**

Well it does interfere in the simplicity of chatting but you have much more important things to do(eg recording games maybe

) so this can wait
I just thought it would be hilarious to report it

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 8:36 am**

Yes... i would disable it too xD

the best thing would be a censorship that you can enable/disable (it change profanity with symbols)

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:14 am**

It is kind of annoying.

It bans some not really offensive joking words, like nerd.

Posted: **Wed Sep 28, 2016 11:31 am**

Ok you can point to words that are not to be banned. I can remove them.

Wait a sec.. nerd is banned? I would so very much like to be one...

I am unable to use word "documentation" in MP ingame message. Using "docmentation" instead worked

No profanity intended, of course.

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2017 3:51 am**

Hahahahaha, another word the filter hates

I ASSess that the word filter should have a better doCUMentation of actual curses. Point made, it is difficult to chat when 1 out of 10 words is banned.

Posted: **Tue Jan 03, 2017 3:58 am**

Well, at least the filter showed where is the problem. I would be quite confused if it only stated "you have used bad word, fix it".
Also, at first, before I noted "doc*mentation" I thought it may be checking backwards too and the problem is actually in "much"

.

That's pretty smart: I'll add it to the top post

Posted: **Tue Jan 10, 2017 3:10 pm**

Actually, the most problematic word is a word you can find in every second MP global chat note.
pASSword =.=

Posted: **Tue Jan 10, 2017 10:37 pm**

ok, in next version there is a whitelisting, here is the current

static final String[] profaneWhitelist = new String[]{
"password",
"pass",
"assassin",
"documentation",
"horsemen",
};

Not sure if you fixed this in AoS, but it's getting on my nerves in AoF. The profanity filter does nothing, since there's just too many ways around it, except make normal conversation difficult. being forced to use only one s in assassin, add a space to document, etc. gets annoying.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 3:10 am**

sorry i know, but i had yet time to fix it, and i still think it is not that important than other issues, or is it really that annoying - so shall i re-consider it and think most importance?

it could be easy if u collect an "accepted words" list so i can easily (low coding time)accept common words by temporaryly removing them from text and running the profanity chk after.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:28 am**

I think it's mostly the ones already mentioned that are the worst. If it isn't a priority, I understand.

Here we go:

Japan

Assassins

Why is Japan filtered...

Posted: **Sun Nov 12, 2017 11:51 am**

Because people like to think the short name of Japanese "jap" is an offensive word.

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 1:56 am**

With the holiday season, another blocked word was found: Christmas, because of "Christ"...

Edit: well, I did say that before you updated XD

Posted: **Wed Dec 13, 2017 2:40 am**

I put an update to that list.
Check it twice!

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2018 8:17 am**

Found another banned word. Scooter. Without the "s" it is bad.

Posted: **Sat Jan 06, 2018 11:36 am**

This list is getting *massive*
