'Naked' is filtered. Honestly.

What a crock.

Poop is pretty stupid, but it is at least a sort of rude word. 'Naked' isn't profanity, though.

the line in my arc that weas 'obscene' was 'I can see sth with my naked eye'

And i als had a superhero called The Naked Ape.

Pathetic is really the most apt word for this, imo. Its ridiculous. Whoever dicided to put that in should be ashamed.

I personally don't have a problem with any of it, but I do find it a bit odd my character can't say "I guess I'll have to nip this in the bud." But, I can say "I guess I'll have to breast this in the bud."

Honestly, it all serves a purpose and they've done an amicable job handling it.

The filter has far greater issues than words it interprets as vulgar. You can't even refer to certain enemy groups by name (Cabal for one).

So what do you do in that litterbox?

Given how easy it is to use l33t talk and other tactics to circumvent the filter, I still fail to see why it's not set to only filter out the traditional profane words.

While building one of my missions, I found out the term 'Jester' is considered either profane or a copyright violation. WTF? I changed it to 'Clown' just to be on the safe side....

At this point I have to wonder if some disgruntled employee who was in charge of the filter set it up with a bunch of ridiculous words to ban just to be a jerk.

According to the filter word "God" is either profanity or copyrighted.

....So which one is it, so I know for future reference before writing such atrocious words.

Its use can be considered blasphemous by some.

I know 'h-o-m-o sapien' is filtered in MA. So I changed my reference to 'human being'.

And apparently ( I didn't know this), its filtered here as well. Sigh.

Lmao @ Wikipedia, that's priceless.

But oh well. Without further opening can of worms, I'll just go with that explanation. I mean it's not like the NPC in the game use the word or anything. Now THAT would seriously suck.

Edit:
Appearantly the filter has been modified now and you CAN use the blasphemous G-word without lights going red. Last time I tried it wouldn't let me use it in NPC dialog boxes.

I got hit with the profanity filter today too and invalidated my Arc. Its a good thing someone told me otherwise I would have never known.

What's so bad about saying "I wouldn't want to see a naked Tanker!"

Ok, it makes sense in the arc.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

Qr LOL I wasn't even needing to use it to define sth as not wearing any clothes. 'with the naked eye' was the offinding sentence.

It's like living in Stalinist Russia, playing this game! [totally joking there]

I put a refernce to [censored] Sapiens in one omy arcs' text and the filter advised that it was profane.

But if [censored] Sapiens is profane...then aren't we all profane? Isn't, then, the profanity filter an indictment of the totality of humankind, human culture, and human accomplishment ?!?


ETA:::: Aaaah! It was blocked here, too. This is craziness.

I had the exact same phrase, "to the naked eye".

I had to change it to "to the untrained eye", which thankfully made sense, given it is a reference to a giant, evil, invisible tower outside the city that you have to be magically inclined to see (check my sig for video).



I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
