Re: New

Well if anything we'll all be pulling out a thesaurus and finding new ways to express anger through vulgar tirades.

The 9 year olds they're trying to protect probably use profanities more than the adults.

What's the point of filtering in CC? Most clans state on CP that it's 18 and apply at own risk, you're taking away the players ability to self moderate their own clan.

Clan Chat has always been filtered in the same way as World Chat

Filtered the same yes. Moderated for bypasses no.

We have not made any changes to moderation, and Clan Chat and PM's remain unmoderated.
 
No matter how good you think this does to the game, the fact that this is an english filter and not everyone on this game speaks english to each other keeps making the filter and the supposed "bypasses" ridiculous.
It blocks common words in other languages making communication between players very difficult. Not to even mention silences and erasin clan info pages for merely not understanding the language it's written on.

This change will help combat the toxic effects of censored words and make this an overall more welcoming place. Even if words are censored, it's easy to understand their meaning and that leads to an environment that turns players away.

The world out there is crueler place, and you're putting up a filter that literally restrict us to write mean words that are already filtered? Do you think using mean words is the only way to offend somebody? Are you going nuts? This is basically restricting our freedom of speech in a certain way man, this is wrong. People might actually leave because of this thing, you know.

yeah. no. you have a bot blocking people from saying what they want to say in clan chat. that's a change.

True, before they were asterisks (*). Now you can't say whatever you want. It's not the same effect, and puts a different mood in cc.
 
Re: New

Jesus. You guys whining gotta be kidding me.

Think about what youre complaining about. Nothing substantial was changed. All they did was remove asterisks in filtered words.

In fact, its ADDED words that were previously incorrectly filtered, like "circumstance."

Its no wonder that politicians and religious leaders can so easily manipulate the public

Sheeple.

that pop up in clan chat is annoying. truly annoying.
 
For once I think it would be inthe best intrests of ata to speak with players before they change………….. Things. I know a good couple of games that make rather large amounts of money by doing that. Including one thats been around 16 years. But no ata judt loves to promote themselves as a 9+ game when roughly 1% of the kawmunity is below 12. Gg kaw

I can understand that, but what i see most people whining about is the filter that was already in place before this change

oh that. people fear change. they start acting all crazy.
 
This is really annoying, I can't even write saurkraut! Or cockroach! And both are an everyday part of my life.... also, Mao Ze-Dong killed more people than Hitler, but you sensor Hitler not Mao Ze-Dong? And what about Stalin?

This new censorship should be limited to WC and not CC, it should be up to us what content is used in CC. If admin in CC don't like language we can deal with it internally, why are you curbing our healthy discussions?
