    Default Can/should there be better word/text censorship...

    Perhaps I'm just being picky now, but I am right in thinking that word/text censorship is being a bit too overprotective? Recently I've been typing innocent statements and I'm seeing words being censored. For example:

    "Mummies hit hard" goes to "Mummie* *** hard".
    "Rush to boss" I think went to "Ru** *o boss".
    "Unless mega money" went to "Unles* ***a money".

    I appreciate and welcome the idea of word censorship but some of these are, IMO, a little odd, especially when I see people type "Jesus!", "Fooook", "Wnker!" etc. which are far worse.

    Can anything do done to be clever on words with spaces in, or turn off checking words with spaces in? Or does anyone else have any ideas? And does it fustrate you?

    I don't suppose turning the thing off is an option.

    Game Menu > Menu > Options > "Filter Chat".

    Ah you are right... it does appear to turn off the text censoring. I assumed it was related to the Ignore list.

    "two pinks" came out "t** *inks" ... I still can't figure out why. Did it think I was making a derisive comment about a person "w/o papers"?

    It's probably a northeast thing. We wouldn't understand.
