Beanboix Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 So I was wondering if the people at SWTOR are worried about offending people with the days of the week? I was writing a guild message to have a meeting this SATURDAY and it blocked out the word SATURDAY!!! Are you kidding me?? How dumb is that? I can understand if I was actually writing a cuss word, that would be different, but I wasn't!! Please stop catering to thin skinned people, if someone is gonna be offended with a day of the week then they have serious issues to begin with.

masterceil Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Saturday. Stupid and juvenile, but pretty sure that's what triggers it. Disable chat profanity filter, use "Sat.", whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filter probably reacted to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th character in the word. Take your time.. right the letters down on a sheet of paper and I think you will see why. It's not thin skinned players, it's a liability mitigation that all companies do in one form or another. Turn off your profanity filters and it should fix that. See.. by putting in the filters with them set on initially, it's on the player if they turn the filters off. Edited May 9, 2017 by Andryah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Thorne Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I turned off my language filter shortly after release when it censored the word sharpshooters - which was the character class I was playing at the time! I don't know if it still filters that word, but any language filter that censors terms used with in the game itself is just so pathetic. (in case you're wondering, I can only figure it's because of sharpsHOOTERS... oy vey!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDutchman Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 language analysis is hard. Do you want them to spend time fixing it or make more content? This has nothing to do with thin skinned players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oki just had a huge laugh over this I remember once saying something was like a cockroach and would not die. Then puzzled why the profanity filter kicked off. Lmao. But Saturday. Haha!

saberscreen Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Fair enough, my Vanguard is pretty sturdy! Not to give you a dumb reply or anything, but you could hit ESC, open up your Preferences, select Social and turn the Profanity Filter off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icykill_ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 well, you are all a bunch of TURDS I could list a heap of words that should probably be censored and aren't, but I won't because they can be handy to express one's self. I figure if Bio don't employ people who can't use a dictionary or quality control their own work, then I'll keep using them when I can't use more mundane and less offensive words because they filter them. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveTheCynic Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Oh God, MMORPGs and profanity filters! The tales I could tell! Oh, well since you asked... * ArcheAge by default bleeps out the names of some *important* in-game locations. * Runes of Magic in French bleeps out a couple of completely inoffensive French words: R E T A R D (means "late" in French, something else in English) and C A V E (means "cellar" in French, and is an obscure euphemism for female genitals in English).
