Speech filter flaw.
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.

Re: Speech filter flaw.
remember, too, that you can turn off chat (or just see friend chat) which is great for kids

Re: Speech filter flaw.
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.
