Fudge works. Holy shift works. Butthole works. Stitch works.

You'd make a poor sailor

Still no answer on what the ban timeframe is. 5 mutes in what timespan? I've asked 3 times now.

[Dwertyq]

I'm usually muted because of auto spell lol when I'm typing too fast and then hit enter then bam auto correct = banned words= muted lol

Is it possible to make the chat filter target black listed words and replace said word with a random creative alternative?

^ A surprisingly fun idea.

Hey all,

I've noticed a lot of threads popping up after the recent changes to the chat filter. Let me help explain what's going on there.

The list of unapproved words hasn't actually changed. However, anything on the "bad words" list used to trigger a silent mute, meaning that you would not receive a message when your chat was flagged. We decided that this could be confusing to players, so we switched it over to a regular mute. This is what you guys are seeing now. Now, when you say a word that triggers the chat filter you will receive a message explaining that you have been muted. The other change here is that multiple mutes will trigger a 24 hour ban.

What we are realizing with this new change is that there might be some words on our profanity list that could stand to come off, have separate meanings in other languages, etc. Based on your feedback, we are reviewing the list and will clean it up as much as possible. HOWEVER. Profanity still isn't something we want running rampant in Arcane Legends and we will continue to do what we can to keep it under control. Please remember that "No Profanity" is one of the first rules on our list and we're sticking to that. So, you will see the chat filter lighten up over the coming days, but do understand that if you continue to trigger it you will still receive a temporary ban. There are so many creative words you can use other than profanity. For reference, here are a few of my favorites:

"Barnicles!" "Banana Shenanigans!" "Dang Rabbit!" "Oh Snap!" "Crikey!" "Avada Kedavra!" "Jabberwockies!" "Holy Macaroni!" "Arrrrggghhhh!" "Shamalama!"

Please, please make the random words food items and/or zoo animals. For giraffe sake, it would be a pizza better alternative to narwhal mutes and bans.

I think "Ice Cream Sandwich" covers all curse words

I dnt get why u need to mute.. and ban pipl.. u can just make a random words i they trigger those foul languages.. like if u say sh*t.. u cn just make a 4 letter/signs to replace it with.. (@#$%) just statn my opinion..

[Sdbigdaddy]

I got muted for 5 minutes discussing the difference between damage and damage per s. couldnt respond back for 5 mintes. Embarassing.

Thank you sts. Will keep my mouth shut the entire time playing the game. You won, mighty dictator. Until, that is, i find a better game to play. Unreal.

[Sdbigdaddy]

Also dev, try it with a few misspellings and see if you get banned. Ridiculous.

[Stupified]

Leave it to beaver chat only ^^ zz... i said my staff is shy meaning it wouldnt proc. I accidently typed t at the end of shy and got muted.. silly ^^

[Stupified]

Why mute people at all? Whats the sense of having a chat filter? You have the option to remove it for what reason? Make sense please. If the chat filter does its job it filters inappropriate words so all the viewer sees are ****s. All youre doing is perpetuating the problem because instead people will manipulate their chat to get their point across.

Remove mutes...allow filter to do its job. There is more than one demographic here, not all of us are 10 years old...holy jeepers batman.

Oh and by the way. Most people who /report dont do it because theyre offended. They do it out of spite because they lost a fight or are nerd raging and want a passive-aggresive way to retaliate, which obviously sts is happy to oblige.
