I understand that this game is aimed at a broad age audience, and respect STS's aim to meet certain quality standards - but I feel the current language filter is a really overkill. I think entirely omitting the message is good enough, but a 5 minute mute for a word you accidentally typed or may not think is that bad just interrupts communication with other players in crucial situations. Just don't think scolding on this level should be the job of an MMO, regular filtering or logical placement of censorship is good enough.

On a similar note - is it possible to change this?. I come across some people who claim they never had been silenced for 5 minutes for a mild vulgarity slip.
