Speech filter flaw.

Post by madmaniacal1 »

I may be called snitch, but I don't care. There is a major flaw in the obscenities filter in-game. Filter allows profane words to be displayed in open chat if Capital letters are used. If the filter could be made not case-sensitive, it would remove such from the eyes of younger players. I for one would not want my child playing if such could slip through.

remember, too, that you can turn off chat (or just see friend chat) which is great for kids ;)

The "filter" really isn't a a true filter. It is only a list of words that was created by the GM team and others a long while back that should be excluded from chat and replaced with "*****". The game system is case sensitive as we all know by now, so it is easy to bypass this list by simply changing the case of the letters. A true filter would catch all of these differences, but this is only a list of excluded words. The list should be updated though.
