Profanity filter is pathetic

In Soviet Russia, game plays you!
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Just want to note that the last patch seemed to have updated something.
All I know is that 'god' is no longer profane, and I finally published my arc (it's a quote from an outside source, so I couldn't really substitute deity for it )
The 'profanity' filter needs to disappear. There are far too many words on it that are innocuous.
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."
"Nothing is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man."
- Thomas Jefferson
They aren't innocuous, they just have innocent usages. I've yet to see a word banned without good reason.

Haha very nice.
So the unclothed astronomer, eyed something, then went to bed.
Now the only question is, what kind of heavenly body was he looking at?
Alaston means naked in Finnish...
I really can't help but laugh.
They obviously spent alot of time and effort on that filter. Way to grab the dictionary ,devs.
Aaaaaaalaston, I know those clothes are killing yooooou...
Dec out.

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.

It's against the EULA to use misspellings of dirty words to get around the filter in CoX. CoX is very careful about presenting a clean-cut image of their comic-book based universe. Seriously, the filter is there to keep CoX wholesome. Even children can enjoy CoX the way things are. By going to such lengths to include profanity you threaten to make CoX something dirty. Something that parents will want to keep hidden from their children. CoX should be something everyone can enjoy.
Shame on you.

Yes, let's protect the children from looking at anything with their NAKED eyes! Oh dear lord, no! They'll turn into sex fiends!
And while we're at it, let's censor part the phrase "wood screw," even though there is a dev-created cannon story arc that has a character saying "screw you" in a way that has nothing to do with carpentry.

This is not a children's game. It's rated T (Teen). The official definition for this rating allows the following:
"Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language."
Now, NCSoft can allow or disallow whatever they like in the game, it's their property after all, but, people who start playing the "protect the children" card need to read the box first.

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
some of the censors are definitly too much, but what can we do?

"cabal"
I'm not even joking. I haven't been in-game much lately, but last I checked (I want to say a week or so ago?) I couldn't even use the word to name an ambush of Cabal witches.
Give me a good reason for that.

I may be wrong but I think you missed the actual reason for this post... or it could just be me with my dirty little mind. Sue me. Reread it and at the same time roll around in the gutter.

Vigilante is filtered (at least as a title).
In one arc I had the contact yell, "Crap on a cracker!"
It was censored.
Now he legally says, "Crap on a small crisp non-rising dough-based food item!"
Enemy Resistances - Damage, Mez and Defense
Enemy XP Mods
(Drag my avatar into your mp3 player!)
I think the people who wrote the list fir the profanity filter should be pooped on by a cabal of naked vigilantes.

MArcs:
The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)
Storming Citadel, Arc ID 379488 (lowbie, 1mish, 10-min timed)
I just discovered that one of my stories had been disabled without notice.
(Which I understand is part of the A.E update)
But it would be nice if for some reason our published missions ding a filter:

In doing so, we can address the issue, if possible.
