I am sick of having everything I say filtered. Why is Outspark filtering words like screw, clam, and jesus? If I can't say **** off to someone I'd at least like to be able to say screw off. I'm sure 99% of the user base has been exposed to the "swear words" they filter. I motion for the filter system to be changed.
What other words can you find that are filtered?
screw
clam
jesus
****, and all its forms
damn, and all its forms
****, and all its forms
Find More!!

I never even knew there was a filter of such. Though I'm kinda of for it and against it. I like it to a certain extent because seriously there are kids playing and they shouldn't see some of the words, but then again people do deserve to express themselves. At the moment I'm kinda of neutral.

You forgot "punk". It was the word I said that made me realize there actually WAS a spam-filter in this game. I mean, punk? I can call people hobos and losers, but not punks? Isn't that a tad arbitrary in design?

Sure there are a few kids playing the game, but lets face it is that the primary user base? No.
HA! Punk thats a good one. You can say God but not punk or clam.

A punk is "A slow burning wick for lighting the fireworks" according to Google.

I personally think they should give you the option to turn it off or leave it on. If it is not able to be chosen, people will always find ways around it.

I agree, I was shouting in town earlier today about that. It would be very simple to have the option to filter or not. Or if the Gms can't figure out the code for that, diable the whole thing and make Teva Unfiltered and keep Apoline filtered. Leave it to the parents to decide.
It all needs to be changed, there are so many problems.

Here are some bad words you can say...
****
nuts
*****

(for fun I checked clam in Japanese...you can say it. So in english clam is a bad word but not in japanese...)
hamaguri
Clam: Any of various bivalve mollusks, esp. certain edible species.

Sorry for the re-post but I don't want to have to bump the original.
Lets take a look at the Fiesta Filter System.
:Sample Conversation:
Sample Person: Do you want to buy some crystal meth?
Sample Child Player: Yes, I bet I'll need that later!
:Sample Conversation 2:
Sample Person: Do you want to buy some ******(clam) meat?
Sample Chile Player: no, never take ****** from strangers...
Do you see a problem here?
[hint]One is a highly addictive illegal drug and the other is an innocent fiesta item.
I motion the the Fiesta filter system be removed or heavily reevaluated.

There is one word, that is filtered... "***" ... i would say it is right to filter this out, but, when i meet german speaking people and want to talk with them in german, then this happening:
"..., dass ..."
"..., d*** ..."
I know, not german speaking people donīt understand the problem, but i simple wanted to note this:p

i think we should filer out all the chat/l33t speak from the game, things like "lawl" and "plox" and all there forms. i still think that we should gather up everyone that uses those words and drop a nuke on em. it would probably raise the IQ of the ENTIRE PLANET be at least 50 points -_-

Bible and Jesus are filtered but similar words from other religions are not. We can't discuss Christianity? Interesting.
