I have not been suspended yet. But sometimes I do wonder what they consider to be foul and then why. While on guild chat I was chatting about flavors, and then I notice that the chat would appear on my screen but then on everyone elses it would not. So then I wondered what the word was as in my context everything was clean. So I started trying all the words singly. And I came up with "cherry, raspberry, and even orange. When those words were in a sentence the sentence wouldn't appear in anyone's chat log. It would appear in mine as if it went through.

I wouldn't like a suspension or a ban for saying how I like a certain flavor of candy or even that I got up to get an orange or some cherries.

I know this cause I do still use a basic account for double play. Well it is kinda basic as I used one of them 14 day passes on it.

This is completely goofy to set the chat filter up like this.... We all know the standard curse words, but I don't know what Disney is going to consider as foul language and ban me over. I do not see why they can't just make the standard curse words show up as Arrr all the time along with vulgar words that could be used to describe adult actions. I don't see any point in doing this other than to further cheapen their efforts with POTCO and eliminate the chat monitoring people's job. I refer back to earlier statements I have made about them "dumbing" the game down to a point to get people to actually leave so the higher ups can have an excuse to fire the developers and end the game. The only way this will be fair is if Disney posts a list of the words they consider as "bad" and make them public for all to see. I don't curse in the game, but I do say certain phrases that could be picked up and banned by automated software that can't understand the context of what the word or words were used in; I would say this goes for just about every person who plays the game.
