Thracius Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I am not a fan of profanity, I think it's childish, but since when is the word Saturday censored in SWTOR chat? Also, on what grounds is it censored? Vaguely religious grounds? I don't understand. Please help me understand the logic of censoring "Saturday" in ingame chat.

Inflicktion Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Hmmm, the only word I can see that might trigger the filter would be "turd", but I couldn't confirm that either way. Seems like it'd be a silly thing to censor if that was the case. I highly doubt it has anything to do with religion or the like.

Selven Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 It's probably because of "turd". I never had profanity on, but checked it out just now. Silly thing is, they're censoring the whole word. At least back in SWG they only censored the letters making up the "bad word". We had a town/city named Nightwatch which would look like this on the planet map; Nigh****ch - not that it made much sense, though I remember it annoying me so much I changed the name to Night Watch.

branmakmuffin Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Interesting that it's censored in chat but not on the forums. Maybe the chat filter is more zealous since it can be disabled entirely. Edited September 7, 2013 by branmakmuffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaceen Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 there are lots of random words that i think are curse words in other languages, but saturday might be a bit of a stretch to say it is one, but it's another possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracius Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Interesting that in the game you can say poo and crap, but not "turd". Well thanks for contributing guys, hopefully this will lead to better understanding and tolerance between our cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic, profanity filter is always one of the very first things that I deactivate in MMOs, I believe strongly in free speach and that includes that people use words they like.
