Chat Filter

[Garborg]

I understand the need for it for a game by Disney, this filter they use is horrid. I especially dislike having to type this in guild chat 4-5 times to figure out why it's not going though.... just to "home" in on the "bad" word

Some I've found:

Almost
Most
Drive
Killing (Can say Kill)
Balls (Can say Ball)
Morning (Only gets cut in guild chat, not effected in local even with + on) proves something is really messed up with chat filter....
Molly
Butter
Password
xp
exp

More to come as I find them....

The chat filter is one of the most pointless things in the game.

I can't even write a word that begins with "wrong" letters, i.e

ga....

fu....

sh.... (I mean what use is that if I want to say ship????)

Pointless, Disney, very pointless. Just ban people who use bad language without this stupid filter, that stops you from saying almost every word.

Vangelis, I don't understand why you can't type words beginning with ga, fu, and sh. I have no problem with that. Hmmm, make sure the + isn't showing in your chat box. If there is a + there, click on it until that little box is blank.

[Ironhawk]

Rose is right. If there is a + in the chat box, we can't write some words even numbers.
They are turned into arrrr.

You have no option for the + when it comes to guild chat, also it won't light up red the "problem" word... all you get is no output to guild chat. Big pain to figure out which word in a big long speal is the problem.

Or maybe it blocks it if someone in guild has the + on... I don't know.

On another thread I had started I was told any word with "mo" in it is blocked in guild chat.

I trued to type "telephone" or "phone" or "cellphone" or "mobile"

and, of course, I couldn't!!

How ridiculously frustrating!

[OutlawZ]

Turning the filter off doesn't help with guild chat. Instead of turning your words to arrr it just doesn't send anything you typed. Eeven with filter off.

Why is it that only some people can't see what you're saying unless you use the + symbol (filter) in the chat box?

I was getting so frustrated with this poor kid the other day. He was the friend of a friend and kept asking the same questions over and over. I would answer him again and again and he never seemed to see what I was saying. Then I remembered some people can't see what you're saying unless you use the + symbol in the chat box. Is it like a parental option people specify and use to insure they or their kids wont read inappropriate chat?

Anyway, it would sure be nice to be able to distinguish who it was you needed to use it with. I had actually deleted the kid from my list before I figured out what the problem was, because he never seemed to be listening. After I thought to try the + symbol, the kid turned out to be very respectful of others and enjoyable to play with, and I felt terrible for deleting him initially.

Having a + sign next to thier name would help, a least that way you know who can see it and can't. Still doesn't fix guild chat issue though.

[OutlawZ]

at the first indication of suspected chat failure,
I "whisper" to someone to make sure they can hear me.




"Insuring kids don't read inappropriate chat"
LOL
We can't even type "appropriate" chat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL

[Plunderin Mom]

I have to type all the "mo" words as "m0" so often that I find myself typing it that way it in IM's or here out of habit, and then remember I don't need to.

[Davos]

I agree. The chat filter, and the chat system as a whole are really, really bad.
