Why doesn't this server have language filter?

This has been suggested loads of times.
This probably wont happen as it is Staff's job to Moderate in-game.

 

ECC is a family friendly server, but it doesn't mean you can't curse. I say stuff like "aww shit" in global chat, and that's fine. People find it funny (sometimes), and it doesn't really hurt anybody.

 

I believe you can swear, as long as it isn't aimed at anyone.
But no over excessive swearing obviously.

 

This is true. In practice most issues are with people swearing either in excess or directed at someone. 99% of the swearing issue comes from players at spawn who appear only to cause problems, and I guarantee that they would find a way to bypass a swear filter - in the end we handle these things rather quickly.

I'd also like to add if you don't like some of the language a player is using you can /ignore them and not see their messages.

 

Aswell...simply add a spacebar anywhere in the word. Not detected by language filter...there are too many possibilities to add them all to the filter.

 

Moderators+ are there to keep it clean. It is there job. It is not needed. -1

 

well its easily bypassed but aside from that .... why not

This is part of the job as a moderator.

 

+1 I think will help players and Moderators, It's job as a moderator but it'll be great, the other day i saw @banneduser. tell [Mod Edit] while in spawn, if i was a kid will literally go tell my mom; the server will maybe lose 1 client.

 

Usually filters are a very flawed system. In some cases they are very easy to bypass and at times filter something that isn't a swear.

 

-1 Naaa sorry dawg

 

It's not needed

In the game, people choose to make decisions. If they choose wrongly punishment is tacked on.. therefor staff are giving people a chance to choose wrong or correctly.
Personally no -1

 

If this was added people who love having a potty mouth could type in cuss words they would like and it would be censored, which I believe is allowed. The only way people will get warned is bypassing.

It can be beneficial, seeing as people can still cuss if they'd like, but not to the expense of people who'd rather not.

 

Well, lets say we get a language filter. I don't feel like spending the next year trying to figure out all iterations of the curse words. People will do anything to get around a filter if they want to. I prefer it this way so private passworded channels, where the rules are pretty lax, as well as PM's can still allow bad language if they want to.

 

Didn't think about that...(u iz geniws)

 

Adding a chat filter adds a layer of automation to do moderation process which in my opinion is never good. For example, when I played Runescape I don't even know how long ago I remember there was a chat filter and it was quite annoying as it would bleep out words such as "witch" and "phone" even if I used them in correct context. Moderators already do a good job keeping chat clean by kicking/banning users if they continue to swear and adding a chat filter won't make ECC any better.
