New & Improved Chat Filter

[SAWFT]

I personally like and dislike this idea. I feel that wc needed this addition to prevent the abuse that goes on due to people just letting the filter remove the word but it's meaning is still clear. On the other hand I feel that cc was fine the way it was as it was down to the admins and owner of the clan to decide what was and wasn't allowed in their cc, bypasses and all.

If this addition is to stay I feel like their should be a way for the clan owner to change the cc chat settings. If they deem that swearing is allowed they should be able to remove the filter back to it's old settings (as some things would still need to be censored for good reasons)

This.

This.

Many kids know of the words because of their parents and or people they are around who curse.

A large number of KaWers bypass the filters unintentionally now. Maybe the other 3% will join in.

Look at ATA just going on an uncalled for locking rampage:

The filter is being updated to prevent abuse and create a better environment for all players. You've never been able to say the filtered words before, and this should help educate players on what is allowed.

Yes this is a change, and people may need to get used to it. However it should have a positive impact on the community as a whole.

tldr: Don't swear, or bypass in public channels and you will be just fine.

Please do not recreate locked threads.

The chat filter was put in place to help create a more positive game environment. The filter has ALWAYS been in place to prevent swearing, however censored content quickly took the place of the words in question leading to very toxic effects.

Quite simply don't swear, bypass, or post abusive content in chat and you'll be fine. It shouldn't be too much to expect you all to behave yourselves.

This is nearly identical to the previous thread created that was locked and so I'm locking this as well.

Before i do however, I want to remind players that even if they had their text starred out before, if a post was inappropriate and the meaning could easily be determined they were still able to be silenced for it. Simply because something was filtered does not mean the context does not matter.

Again if you aren't the kind of person to try and cause a disturbance by abusing chat you will be fine.

pathetic communists

No support, I never felt that the old system was offensive to anyone.

Re: New

Mega no support.

Also, the mini dev was getting kinda lippy on the no support thread. Guess they think we should appreciate the magical bull **** they make for us.

Ata are like the British government  bunch of idiots who would rather silence than actually try to solve any problems at hand.

Wtg ata, freedom of expression has now gone even if clan info say cc is 18

Re: New

Guaranteed they won't even think of reversing this. They think that everything they make is gold.
Ever heard of the expression "if it isn't broke, don't fix it?"

If those 9 year olds know what the asterisks mean, then they aren't being shielded from anything. And this will drive more people to bypassing anyway, thus enlarging your problem.
Leave it the way it was. You should have beta tested this to 20 people or so, and listened to them.

KaW good updates are becoming rarer and rarer.

Re: New

I don't think seeing stars was a issue, people will say the odd word to by accident and the stars remove the word completely.

It's the people who use a different key board and or add spacing or dots between the letters that are the issue.

I don't think stars had any impact on people, you should be adding more words to the list of censored like spacing and other key boards instead of improving a system that I do believe worded fine as it was.

We are all adults here & if you aren't then you shouldn't be playing a game that includes a chat system.Instead if prohibiting us why not make another server for those among us who can't stomach extensive vocabulary,such as mine own

Re: New

Any explanation why I got locked? Didn't break ToU? Can I get a real answer kaw com? Since posting my own threads is verboten

Re: New

Actually zeth, when forums was first updated they had removed the edit post feature completely thinking it would lead to abuse. But after some input from plays, they brought it back better than ever.

Misquoting is a silenceable offence.

Also, So? It's a free app. If it was paid for, this would be different

Re: New

Ty kaw for making CC less enjoyable for most of us.

Are you guys realy that afraid that some customers could take you to court because of someone using "inappropriate" words in a chat or on a wall or whatever?

If a few inhibited puritans leave the game, good for the rest of us. Who cares?

There are a lot of "Session expired, please re-login" messages recently.

The promised banners for other build types are stil not released.

The number of players who quit each day still seems to be bigger than the number of new players.

There are so many things to do, why waste time on clanchat?
