Auto ban swearing

  • tell me what you think about this idea.

    Every time someone swears the word is replaced with this "???". This means our system recognizes swear words.

    Why don't you guys make it so you get temp banned after saying like 10 swear words? The counter get's reset every day.

    The player who swears is banned for 3 hours, or maybe 30 minutes. This will stop players from swearing.

    Some months ago there was a word filter on 4chan. Every time someone said something bad they replaced the word with something else. We could replace words like F* with I like you. That will surely annoy some players.
    I think this is a terrible idea, and I will tell you why.

    The swear filter is easily and frequently bypassed. People know the words they are going to use are swear words, and thus use creative writing or 1337 to bypass it.

    However, the swear filter also recognize certain word combinations, which have nothing to do with swearing, as swear words. Anyone that has tried to put the word "it" between a word that ended with a "T" and a word that started with a "S", knows this.

    Conclution: who do you think is going to suffer the most from this auto-banning swear filter? The person that wants to swear and is aware of the swear filter, or the person that types normally, and finds out that certain word combinations are recognized as swear words?
  • Didn't read trough the whole thread.

    Tbh,I swear a lot at blockers,campers and laggers.So if I say **** like 10 times,I get a 30 min ban,and then I lose my honorable soldier ribbon?(U have never been banned)
  • again, how many times do you get a word censored? I don't think 10 times a day.

    And by the way, 30 minutes ban isn't that bad at all.

    it effing is if you don't wanna lose honorable soldier ribbon -_-
  • People get banned when you report them swearing.
  • People get banned when you report them swearing.

    Barely anyone gets banned for that because no one is going to spend time reporting them because they cussed at you.

    Auto-banning is a whole other issue because half the community would be banned because of the system's fault.

    That's a reason to work on the system.

    Keep in mind that not all of the players are smart enough to bypass it. The GM's can also add those new swear words to the filter.

    I also suggested to improve the current filter so it doesn't recognizes those words as swear words.

    Once the filter is over worked only the swearers. Most of the people wouldn't even know about the swear filter until it is to late.

    The problem is, there is no guaranty that ANY system will work 100% accurately. Even if they got it to work 99% accurately, that would still mean that that remaining 1% that is innocent is going to suffer from it. And 1% of 400.000 players is still 4.000 players that are going to end up being banned for doing nothing wrong.

    There is a guaranty that this system will work.

    If the filter only filters listed words then there is no way that people that don't do anything wrong get banned.

    Even if the system is not perfect, those 4000 players have to do the same mistake 10 times to get banned, and that's quiet a lot. You might do the mistake once or twice, but not 10 times.
  • If the filter only filters listed words then there is no way that people that don't do anything wrong get banned.

    Yet half of the normal sentences you write have ??? somewhere in them.

    The current system DOES filter only the listed words. It's just that half the words in there are pointless.

  • should ban ü mad bro, cuz lil ghey dudes over use it.

    There is no point in talking to you, because you don't listen.
  • No, people accidentally swear to much like the classic "but its"
  • This is like the worst thread I have ever seen on here it is that fail, no thought has gone into this thread at all.

    Do you know when you say "afk" and "but its" etc that is filtered? The filter doesn't even function correctly never mind integrating it into bans.

    And have you ever thought that someone as super sensitive as you - just maybe shouldn't be killing people in a violent game?
  • -1 for swearing bans.

    +1872103993612896419869126893618963219389123 for toggle filter option.
  • first.. this will only ban the guys who arent trying to swear but just typing normally while the system recognizes it as swear words... and the ones who are trying to swear knows that it will be censored so they'll be able to bypass it.. second.. this is a action/first person shooter game.. if you cant handle the swearing like a child and complain about it.. then why not go back and play club penguin... this is not at school where you aren't allowed to swear. In fact, I dont even understand why swearing is censored when it is said to be rated 14+ and for MOST of the people.. they swear in their daily lives anyways at the age of 14.. so what is the point?

    QFT. hey op y dont u answer this post? Oh yeah, cus u know hes right and u aint got no good arguments against it. I will repeat, pls go back to club penguin if the heat in cf is too much 4 u
  • Maybe if you had the option to not view filtered words that you could select in your settings....it would make the chat kid friendly...:)

    you could select view chat filtered or unfiltered ...somehow have it set that the game is set to filter chat by default and you could deselect it if you wanted to see the chat

    I don't think a ban is the answer here as it is unintentional most times people can't even type in

    "Nice shot angel" as it is filtered

    Wow finally a good idea. That should satisfy the OP. Hell, you can even have z8 exercise libertarian paternalisn and set the default to filtered. Wegoodnow?

    Anyway I listen to all of you, you just quoted my answer in which I listen to you and answered it. I don't quiet get why you think that I don't listen.

    You are the one that fails here, because you didn't even read the thread. I said many times that z8games should fix the filter. I also said that I know that legit words are filtered too. Again, how many times does the filter gets you in a day? 2? 4 times? Even if it get's you 6 times a day, it is not enough to ban you. And the ban only lasts for 30 minutes, so it's not that bad at all.

    I don't want because I am sensitive, why else would I go to 4chan then? I want it because I hate it when little kids that total s*ck call me a noob.
  • JESUS , PING A , PUT A , but it .. MORE MORE MOORE words are censored .... for nothing.... So your idea is to decimate the CF comunity? ..

    Well played sir.

    The filter catches me out quite a lot actually.

    And you're telling me that you want to stop the occasional rage?
    Clutch 1v5, kill 4 last one 3 hp. S*** WHAT DA F***.

    Would you prefer children to say it out loud in front of parents? Or parents in front of children. Because, let's face it, we swear.

    Side Note: I am one of those people that get only about 1-2 hours of gaming because of school/work/Uni etc. and 30 mins is relatively large amount of my time.

    Going "La la la, I can't hear ya, because you are wrong and I am right, la la la" isn't listening, BadMonkey. You ignore every valid point that is made and replace it with your own opinion.

    If someone says that no system can be made 100% accurate, you deny that without so much as a shrivel of an argument to counter it.

    If someone says that innocent players will get banned the same as the guilty, you again deny that, because the innocent won't get caught by the curse filter 10 times typing normally, yet you thing people that curse will.

    You think that disagreeing with you is a personal attack. You think saying I'll find a better listener talking to a wall than talking to you, is a personal attack. Well, if they are, you child, it is because you make everything personal.

    Grow up, and shape up, BadMonkey. Your attitude is childish and appalling.

    I don't do this La la la, I can't hear ya thing you are talking about. If I'd just replay to all arguments with "NO you are wrong!!!!!!!", then I would be doing this I can't hear you thing but I don't answer like that. I tell that I agree or disagree, in this case disagree and then I explain why.

    No system is 100% accurate? Do you heard about Bad Company 2? That game is still not cracked, even after years it has been released. Even if it isn't 100% accurate, it's still pretty strong.

    As I said, the z8games team should overwork the filtering system until it is good enough, then the normal players wouldn't get banned. You all just act like it is a damn hard thing to make a working list. The word filtering system in Modern Warfare 3 works pretty good for example. Also some other online games have those filters and they work good too.

    I saw this thing in other games too, and that's why I'm so sure that it will work.

    THIS is a personal attack. You have to attack the post, not the poster. You can say that you disagree with what I said, that's okay but you can't talk bad about the person that posted, because that is a personal attack. First you say that talking to me is pointless, that pretty much means that you think I am stupid, and that is in fact a personal attack.

    There is no point in talking to you, because you don't listen.

    And now you claim that I think everybody is attacking me by just having another opinion then me. Just go through my answers and show me where I told someone that he attacked me for disagreeing with me.

    Those things are personal attacks. Can't you see that? You have to right to correct my posts, but not the right to say anything about me, because that is a personal attack. Do you even know what personal means?

    You call me childish, but yet you are the one that writes in pink, calls other people childish and personally attack them. You do not only attack me, but you also tell others to attack me by telling them to ignore me.

    I showed you where you attacked me, now show me where I attacked you in my posts.
  • You are the one that fails here, because you didn't even read the thread.

    To be honest the title says it all, there is no need to to read your thread but I did.
    I said many times that z8games should fix the filter. I also said that I know that legit words are filtered too.

    Do you really think they are capable of that? First off they can't really do much of anything correctly. They have not even added simple HTML to the website to add new guns.

    Also the word filter list has to be added by the devs.
    Again, how many times does the filter gets you in a day? 2? 4 times? Even if it get's you 6 times a day, it is not enough to ban you. And the ban only lasts for 30 minutes, so it's not that bad at all.

    Like 8 per day and sometimes when I try to say something it is blocked multiple times, sometimes 4-5 times in a row even when trying to evade the filter by adding dots in the end I just say "oh f** it" and it's not filtered:D

    That would take you over the limit.
    I don't want because I am sensitive, why else would I go to 4chan then? I want it because I hate it when little kids that total s*ck call me a noob.

    Then why bother? And can't you handle being called a "noob"? besides that saying "noob" is not swearing.

    There is no need to be scared and offended by swear words either.
