I'd rather they let the option to filter chat do its job. Make it so there is some kind of parental control, like a v chip. Passworded so, if a parent deems it so, can prevent child from turning off the filter.
Meanwhile: the rest of us responsible players can talk free from random muted that seem to come out of nowhere sometimes.
I garanteee you, people who are obnoxious will be reported. The community does a good job policing itself. It will continue to do so.
Hindering everyone to prevent people from experiencing what is in every game chat, teamspeak, ventrillo, xbox live match in existence... Seems excessive.
Being muted cause I said, "sorry bud, but I am rather a nal about the rules and can't let you do that" accidentally not thinking about a phrasing that is absolutely proper but would flag the system....
A bit annoying.
Anyone that's played this game for more than 5 minutes knows people just get around it anyways. Bo o b for example. Or remove the c from Fxxx. No one is fooled or being protected from language or the intent of a message.
And every 10 year old knows what gtfo and Wtf etc means.
The mute system, although commendable (i hate xbox live chat for example), seems unnecessary.
Have faith that people are, for the most part, good and hate chat abuse. Have faith that we want a clean game game and will police it appropriately.
If you are afraid that this will drastically increase player reports to the degree that you do not have the staff to handle the volume, hire me. I'll work for minimum wage and be awesome at it. 13 years managerial experience baby!
Haha!

Great idea with only one problem: The dunce hat or "see no evil" monkey are way too cool. I would be in constant mute just to get them!
