Wholehearted agreement.  I understand that having the option to use Big People Words will be misused by Little People if given the option, but it's loving annoying.  I think that it's mainly in place to keep any kind of extra-ugly argument or company image-damaging event from happening since people are unpredictable and overinvest emotions into small stuff like forums.

 

Also, it can just default to censorship on and be that way when browsing the forums unlogged, right?

But, since it is impossible to do real age verification on the internet, you have to have the word filters.  You just do.  The repercussions are too serious a liability.

So then why are you allowed to disable censorship in-game?

This is easily the most amusing word filter I've ran into, so I'm all for it.

Because the game is protected by a rating and a contractual end-user-license agreement that protects from liability of where other end-users could influence the online in-game experience. 

 

Also, word filters are not censorship.  Censorship is the control of information and ideas.  This is just a profanity filter to protect against potential FCC and other violations that could lead to expensive legal defense.

wrong term, my bad.

I don't know how to continue. I just think we should be able to deactivate the filter. Just ask if someone is over 18; Nobody lies on the internet!

Edit: just realized that I wouldn't be able to deactivate the filter. D:

While I wouldn't say that word filters aren't censorship, it doesn't matter. As stated by Queen Mech M4M4 in the Love Wins thread (if I recall correctly), this forum isn't a democracy but a dictatorship. Which I'm fine with of course.

Funny enough, the only people who are actually annoyed by word filters are usually the teens and early 20s lads themselves (from my experience), the actual adults couldn't really give less of a fuzzy bunny, which has been proven to be the majority of this board.

I think the censor in this case is as much a nostalgia trip for the old forums as anything else.

1337 h4ckz000rd here! nice.

 

@OP Why would you need call names? If u wanna relief u can shout @ your headphones. If you want to be heard go out on street, check if police isnt around and scream couple words.

 

And dont make your devs being more busy than they are now. They got way more important things to fix in this game, than silly censorship.

What the fuzzy bunny did you just fuzzying bunny about me, you fuzzy bunny? I'll have you know I graduated at the top of my class in the Hawken Tutorial, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Prosk and Sentium, and have over 300 confirmed KDR. I am trained in Bruiser warfare and I'm the top reaper in the entire Crion Armed Forces. You are nothing to me but just another health orb. I will wipe you the fuzzy bunny out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Illaal, mark my fuzzying bunnies. You think you can get away with saying that fuzzy bunny to me over the internet? Think again, fuzzy bunny. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of preds across the map and your mech is being tracked right now so you'd better prepare for the hellfires, maggot. The hellfires that wipe out the pathetic thing you call your mech. You're a fuzzy bunny, kiddo. I can be anywhere, anytime, and can kill you in over 700 ways, and that's just with crushing damage. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed fuzzy bunny tactics, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the ADH cash machine and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable fuzzy bunny off the face of the continent, you little fuzzy bunny. If only you had known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fuzzying bunny. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying in MC, you fuzzying bunny. I will fuzzy bunny all over you and you will drown in it. You're fuzzy bunny, kiddo.

No, leave it on. This also stops spamming to get fuzzy bunny into google results.

I remember after they banned one word that spammers kept putting all over the forums, the spam dropped massively.

I don't even remember the word now. that's how good the result was.

I thought the website and by extension the forums were covered in the existing EULA.  If not, they could always CYA themselves by slapping a "terms of use" on their site like some "news" sites do.  Biggest difference though between this message board and game chat; these forums can be crawled by search engines and archiving sites, so what gets posted here, I suppose is more easily visible to the outside world.

Different language system = different spelling of certain words.

Which brings up the issue of why you're bothering to try to bypass a word filter just so you can use profanity. Although you're doing a good job of proving revelske's point.
