guess I should put in some input although there are quite a few of you that understand my reasoning already....some of you know more of the story than others...I do not want and will not have people name calling...it is childish, antagonistic, unsportsman-like....and just out and out mean.......name calling hurts...sometimes you don't realize just how badly you have hurt someone with your 'innocent' name calling....if it were up to me I would put lardass and naphead and a bunch of other mean terms on the filter.....but it slows the chat and thus the game if every word has to be filtered through so many choices. I do add words sometimes....kike was one that was requested and the c-commander will now have to come up with some other body part to commandier.
I take every request seriously and weigh my options. I appreciate the input. As g-boy pointed out you have to be careful what words go in there....Freakzilla can tell you how picky the filter is when she tried to say ......of a game.... it kept thinking she was saying f a g so no I can not put in jew and it not pick up jewish...rush pointed out the racist/bigotted words get you an automatic permanent ban so say it once and 'see ya'..
I am Polish and have heard my share of polish jokes and while they may not offend me directly they may offend another pole that hears the same one....I will not perpetuate the stereotype and maybe that stereotype will die out in time.
spam filter we definitely need....I will speak with evil_admin about adding one...but I love the swear filter replies...it gives me something to play with when qued up and some noob is trying to figure out which words he can say...when I am not in the mood I stop them short and say...you can say shit damn and ass and crap...that usually stops the "testing" but sometimes leads to more direct questions.
