Topic: [75459] Language Filter

[-75459] Serious Black [None] :: July 22, 2012, 8:05 a.m.

I was writting to my friend a message and then I could not send it to him/her, cause it writes: please watch your language. Innaproppriate language will not be tolerated.()
But I did not write any vulgar word or any (). What the hell is happening?

[1367449] MightyJATIN [None] :: July 22, 2012, 8:30 a.m.

well even i faced the same problem and then i got to know that if u leave a line between sentences then the u can easily send the message.

[1367450] Andrea50 [None] :: July 22, 2012, 8:34 a.m.

Could you tell us what word it was. Because I know there is a few words it doesn't allow due to it being Multi language.

[1367454] Serious Black [None] :: July 22, 2012, 8:54 a.m.

No words, only ( ) and nothing more., thanks for help

[1367457] Unknown :: July 22, 2012, 9:02 a.m.

[1367462] Serious Black [None] :: July 22, 2012, 9:56 a.m.

You guys need to fix the filter, it is a major pain that the filter takes EVERYTHING out of context....Like if i were to ask someone "when do you get off work" I wouldnt be able to send it simply because it has the word pairing "get off" in it...i even think this forum is editing that out....Everytime I type a lengthy message I have to search the entire message for what you guys deem to be inappropriate and 100% of the time is just something that was taken out of context by the ridiculously overboard filter. Fix this please or make it so where it tells you EXACTLY what sentence is the one where you see an issue. Having a 250 character message and trying to figure out exactly which pairing of words you guys don't like is a nightmare and should not be something we have to deal with because you guys don't want to come up with a better filter. It's easy just to lock everything down but it takes real effort to create filters within the filter so that sending a message is no longer such a trying process.

That happened to me to!
It was really annoying. I just retyped the message and sent it.

[1376599] Luke Fierysword [None] :: Aug. 16, 2012, 5:43 p.m.

Try retyping a really lengthy message....

[1376601] Baldrick (GB1) [None] :: Aug. 16, 2012, 5:45 p.m.

I once spent 45 minutes trying to send a message as I always sign my name at the bottom and I missed out the "r".

I'm sure it used to tell you what the offending words were, putting this function back in would at least make it easier to edit.

Bald(r)ick.

[1376607] bagofrice [None] :: Aug. 16, 2012, 5:57 p.m.

Me too. I had written ; Participation in not necessary. And they would not let me.

[1376639] Johnny Crockett [None] :: Aug. 16, 2012, 6:53 p.m.

Glad to see I am not the only one who finds this annoying! Sometimes when sending out long messages I have to type it 3 and 4 times just to try to beat this filter. I have to restructure basically every sentence and I am getting tired of it. Even just an indication of what needs to be changed would be helpful, since I do believe a word filter IS a good thing for the kids. It just needs to be much much much more user friendly because right now it's basically saying "Rejected, try again" and I ending up typing a word count I could submit to my professor as an essay. Half the time I just give up, erase the message and send it through another source if possible.

[1377191] Johnny Crockett [None] :: Aug. 17, 2012, 9:06 p.m.

Can a mod please tell me how this statement is offensive? This is aboslutely incredibly ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"if i do start one will def keep u in mind...thanks for the food...do u need any timber?"

I even changed it from do you need any wood to the word timber and still it was rejected? Unbelievably ridiculous....i could curse up a storm in the game just put an arbitrary number of spaces between the letters, (the filter is not preset for that) but I can't send a simple message as is posted above? Nor can I get a response from a mod? Wtf does this forum even exist for then? Just for kicks? Just to patronize players who have a legitimate issue? Unreal.

[1377205] Baldrick (GB1) [None] :: Aug. 17, 2012, 9:40 p.m.

They need to re-implement the function where it let you know what the offensive word was.

Simple as that.

mmmmm it happens to me too i sent a massage and it says it had a word in it that was not there X(
