Or read. Figured considering the quality of your other posts I should preempt u by adding the term reading...lol

Your attempts to read between the lines r leading u to post nonsensical responses.

A real life chat filter? If u mean I believe no one has the right to make others listen or watch things offensive to them then yes. But that's law already.

The last part of your post is ridiculously out of touch with reality. As such i'm taking it as baiting and ignoring it.

so how are they forcing you to read what they write, exactly? why are you unable to just disregard what they say, and instead let it haunt you like it actually has an impact in your life?

you are being awfully vague on that point and all too eager to attack my position with accusations of lunacy.

in fact, your entire argument thus far has been "make them stop because i dont like what they're saying"

This thread should probably get locked or moved. It has become a debate that is in no way assisting any players with any issues they may be having. Such debates would be suited to general discussion or more likely jettisoned communications.

Original poster, the request for a profanity filter should be sent to the suggestions board. Although I recall something about it being in the works but on a back-burner.

truly it is only the spectators that realize the idiocy of the argument

you would be correct. as the game becomes more attractive to prospective customers the enforcement of rules will increase in parallel.

however we get so many of these useless threads because nobody bothers to use the search function, I thought I would have some fun instead

How exactly can u not read what they write? As I stated before and other players have screamed over and over. This is a team based game u must coordinate. Chat and voice r the only ways.

So unless a person is going to quit they must read what is written in chat.

When someone is trying to relax and play a game why should they have to deal with offensive language? And if they find it offensive would it not impact their experience regardless of them trying to ignore it?

Exactly what am I being vague about?

Your entire argument has been deal with it or quit.

if it's not relevant I tune it out

but why can't you disregard it? if some loony is preaching on a soapbox in the park, he's not forcing you to listen to him.

when i'm trying to relax and someone is doing something I don't like, I either ask them politely to stop, go somewhere else, or just plain ignore them. it's really not that hard. as far as finding it offensive, I don't find words offensive because words lack substance. If i went to the bowling alley and walked in on a bunch of old people *******, then yes i would be offended and would probably have to seek counseling in the form of a large bottle of alcohol

why other people must stop doing what they want to appease your emotions

no it has not. much like your inability to ignore others, you view what I have to say as an attack on yourself because you're intolerant of others.


and actually on that note, where are the mods? they should have sunk this thread by now. I'm going to call it a day, punch my card on the trolling clock and finish a few episodes of LOGH before bed.

but seriously, you shouldn't get so upset on the internet, it's about as unhealthy and meaningful as road rage.

There is a big difference between a Looney in a park and players in a game that's team based . It's a false equivalency.

Your ability to tune things out is admirable but not the norm. While many people can to some extent ,constant harassment generally denigrates game experience.

As for your question. Why must people force other people to read words they know they find offensive?

And if that has not been your argument then your not explaining yourself well. Because that is how your coming across.

no there isn't they both spout **** that comes in contact with you, but why is it you can disregard the loony but not some text you read?

why am I even still here? I thought I was going to bed. CURSE YOU INTERNET!

[Saint Scarlett Johan]

Regardless of the word, whenever I see **** or ****** or ************, all I immediately think is f**k. Lol

[Cest7]

Every ounce of my being screams no to a carebear filter.

Why don't we censor all **** as well then? Imagine what would happen if your 11 year old would walk by when you were watching ****. What's that? You don't watch adult material when your 11yo could walk by? Well why are you playing online games that are rated Teen when your 11yo is around? Don't blame the game for the exposure, blame yourself.

Your point is invalid.
Leave the trolling to the professionals.

Everyone takes digs at each other or will tease a bit.. but if you cant be a gracious winner and a classy loser, then you are just a loser.

profanity filter? neg.. give me a report feature that PGI will actually enforce, however, good luck with that.

Right this has strayed a bit from my original post so I'm going to start a new one in the suggestions forum. Seems like a fair few people would be in favour of an optional profanity filter for various reasons, however it is implemented.

I also understand those that think there should be an easier way to report people who do offend so Ill add that in as well.

If you want to see it in then second the post in the suggestions forum

I'd rather have it properly implemented.

Block out a whole sentence if it includes profanity and is switched on. Like don't even have it show up for others. Otherwise the point of a filter is moot for people whose problem is reading swear words or other profanity or sexual references. Also this way children wouldn't see a starred out word in a sentence and get curious what that word might have been. Children aren't dumb.

In addition an all out ignore function to ignore the babbling of certain players in chat or prevent getting matched with or against them at all would be fabulous.

On that behalf: There is an ignore list in the social tab. Is that just for friend invites or for chat aswell?

As far as reporting goes there should be an easy one click button besides a players name in post match screen that takes you to a reporting form that let's you select what you report him for and automatically has the server attach a chat and action log to the report.

Yeah, don't think a profanity filter will work, too bad. I played against a guy from House Jurai Clan this morning who was beaking at his team towards the end and after the match about them being terrible. When people told him it was only a game he was going off about mothers and you know the rest. It is just a shame cause this guy is 37 (checked his profile after) and there may have been kids in match. If I had of frapped the match I would have sent it to someone. I did pile off a quick message to one of his ranking clan members - but they just said they don't care (and they talk about honor on their website...). Just getting tired of the poor sportsmanship. I've never minded a bit of smack talk - but this was overboard. Add the report button and let it send the full record of chat from the match - done and done.
