Language filter in PL

It's very frustrating to Dutch people and it would probably be very easy for them to change, so why not? I'm not asking to remove the word from the filter, just change from a temporary mute to ***'ing it. It probably also applies to the other STS games.

I can see your frustration, however, you have to understand that by allowing this word to slip through the filter, it would allow for those who thrive on using the derogatory meaning of the word (which could be argued outnumber those who use it for Dutch translation) to begin spamming the word in all aspects of the game.

I have also known quite a few Dutch players in my 4 years of being a part of the PL community and have never known this to be an issue. Most Europeans speak better "English" than Americans do and besides, "can" is easier to spell.

I'm not asking to disable the filter and let it slip through. Just change it from auto-mute a player to hiding it with **** so a dutch conversation doesn't get interrupted all the time.

It's only an issue when speaking Dutch, so it wouldn't come up when you're talking with Dutch people, in which case they'll be speaking english, and in which case they wouldn't use the word kunt.
