hello

as we know graal has a swear filter to prevent players frim being rude
So obviously some words are not alowed.

But I have noticed recently the staff members have been trying to improve the swear filter by blocking words that players use to get past the swear filter

Such as fuq

But for some reason if your saying a normal word that contains the word of the swear word it will be concidered a bad word

Mainly i just think that the swear filter should just be for the word alone and not a word that has it in it


For example I cannot say burger refuge
probaly because fug
but burger refuge is not a bad word and it kind of annoys me that i cannot say it.  

yeah, like when i type "who recruited" it will star out who & re. "*** **cruited"

"who recruited"

That's kind of understandable.

Not really. In towering guilds "who recruited" is said a LOT and it gets very annoying having it censored.  

Ye, I've noticed this in other iServers and it's getting annoying.  

Why isn't the word "sh*t" censored?

It's done to stop people evading the swear filter, if it wasn't people could just say thing like "who re/" or "*****e". I guess a whitelist of words could be implemented but to me it doesn't seem all that neccessery.  

maybe because some of the word is already censored? fkin idiot lmao

and iServers should have swear filter options.

Yeah I understand why it is censored. Whitelisted words/phrases would be a good idea though.

I like this idea we should feedback it

Then mature players can swear if they want but children wont because their parents will put parental controls on to filter swear words.

I think this update is needed

i like this idea as well.  

The word minigame is racist  

You think people would learn from when I implemented a swear filter pre-iClassic.

Problems:
* There are cultural difference in what's considered a swear word. E.g. bloody and bullocks are considered swears in Britain but not in the US.
* There are a lot of words that might contain a substring that is considered a swear word. E.g. ass is in the words pass, mass, grass, lass, sass, bass, crass, iClassic etc.

It's too restrictive on speech to block absolutely everything that could be considered a swear. Meanwhile, if you go the other route where you log potential swears, the volunteers enforcing the rules are going to complain that they have to actually search the logs and filter all of the legitimate speech themselves.

Source: personal experience.

Then, even if you block speech, people invent new speech.

The only good solution is to keep it simple and rely on players reporting assholes.

Also, how come an eight followed by an equal sign dolled by a capital D is sencored? It looks like a happy face!!!  

Swear filtering is not something we control. We can add/remove definitions but we're not really allowed to remove or change the method of filtering. I'm personally more in favor of clientside filtering.
