Sometimes I really feel like the profanity filtering is going too far. It's not very smart at all, it will filter any part of a word that it judges is a profanity even if the whole word is completely legit.
For example:
c o c k p i t = ****pit
e x e c u t i v e = ****cutive
I could go on and on like this with more example of stupid filtering.
Profanity filtering should be a personal choice at the same rate the application of film rating is left to the individual. I personally don't mind slurs and profanity. Besides, just the fact the actual text is being masked doesn't really hide the intention, so for example, if someone writes **** you, I very well know what they meant. However, when I'm reading a non-profane piece of text about a proposal, I don't really enjoy having to guess some of the words because part of those words are masked.
Please I propose the addition of a forum setting to toggle the profanity filter on and off. Let the users decide if they want it or not. |

The whole forum needs to be trashed and they need to build something new.
I hope that's what COSMOS is.
I hope COSMOS isn't the same baseline code as this forum with more stuff on top.

This.
The profanity filter is just one example of a larger problem. |

Then CCP can take this suggestion into account when they publish COSMOS and the new forum engine. It's still worth mentioning though. |

I think the only reason to have word filter in first place is to satisfy some third party regulations. Some kind of game rating agency? I don't know
This game would probably get more popular if it showed itself as more mature. Even for underage kids it would have an increased "cool" factor.

meh, the e x e filter is there to protect the.... how do i put this diplomatically correct? "wise" people using windows clicking links as often as they can never thinking what may come of it.
The something+e x e filter is currently a just one, until CCP figures out how to deal with the "smart people" clicking on links they shouldn't click because their OS is at risk or the spammers invoking said reaction.
C ockpit etc. is probably censored because it can and therefor will be misused by 'smart' asses.
F -u is definitely not in place because the way this forum is rated.
There are bigger more important things to cry over then a few ******.

It should be up to each individual to decide if they want to see the real text of have it censored. There's nothing I hate more than censoring. Forcing censorship on people is like forcing religion on people. If you're afraid that your kids will see evil words and corrupt their souls, then just prevent them from playing online games in the first place. Don't try to control the world, control your kids instead. Also, as far as I know, there's no censorship inside the game, especially not on voice, so your kid will be exposed no matter what.
As for clicking dangerous links, well... if someone is stupid enough to click just any link, maybe they deserve to get infected. But anyway, if CCP had the least amount of sense, they would be using smart regular expressions to filter for **** file extensions in links or filenames instead of just replacing every instance of ****" in the post.

one thing for sure, anyone playing this game will eventually get the read plenty of ****, either in local chat, corp chat, alliance chat, or hate-mail
And if that's not enough, will hear all those bad words on TS/Vent. So this forum filter is for show only, it achieves nothing.

Precisely, which is exactly why it should be optional.
