Current News June 22, 2009

Important Update to Chat Moderation - June 22, 2009

Starting June 26, 2009, we will add a feature that will detect if players use bad language and will automatically suspend your account if you continue to attempt using foul language. Pirates will be automatically warned two times:

Bad language of any kind is never acceptable in Pirates Online.

On the final warning -- your account will be automatically banned from the Caribbean. The length of time you are removed from the game depends on your account history. If you've had previous violations, you could be banned from the game permanently!

Now if we could get our linked accounts back, they could eliminate the cause of all the bad language.

Well does seem like it would have been simpler to just filter out the words.
If you have an exact set of words you are looking for, why not just block them entirely?
The downside to that idea is that it stops everyone, including those that have poor attitudes when perhaps they would rather simply catch those with poor attitudes and get them off the system. If protection from these words is indeed the primary purpose, then this system seems like the hard way to deal with things, including increasing volume of calls to customer service over bans/suspensions.

All my pirate name show in Italics, can people get in trouble for that? I also have this thing with SOS where we ban each other with our names Banman, Bando he calls me I call him Sban or Obanion both are italics could that get us in trouble? This new update is going to be REALLY fun! I bet that Disney is going to enjoy those calls and emails.

At least on test, the red/italicized words do not set off the warnings displayed in the news post. It seems only the outright expletives themselves trip the warnings.

What about words like "picture" and "drunk"? Will those also produce warnings? I've been banned over those two words before.

I think they might have people watching chats sometimes or maybe a system where if you say something in italic then they might look at it you for a little and then say your good/ I don't need to watch you anymore.

Does this mean I'll get banned just for using a typo?

If your typo turns into an expletive, then yes, you will get a warning. I did extensive testing on this one...ahem...Only the words your mother would wash your mouth out with soap for were caught by the in game warning system.

This is not saying you won't get email warnings and suspensions for other words or phrases Disney catches later on, however. I'm sure this new filter is not replacing the "old" way D did things. Passing personal info, bullying, and vulger language will still get you an email from them if they go through your chat log. It's just catching the outright swearing immediately.

Lol good point, or if we actually got a useful update!

Anyway I think the filter system was fine the way it is and that we are more in need of NEW CONTENT than some lousy warning system. It seems to me POTCO is avoiding releasing new content by getting all these small useless things out.
