Hey everyone, This is going to be a rather brief announcement, but this is going to be one of at least another announcement coming in the next couple of days or so, but anyway… Our current chat filter system has been a brilliant asset to us over the last year, but we feel it doesn’t match the expectations we would expect from such a system. We realise that certain words that contain what would be considered profanity would also be filtered, which is something we do not want to happen, so we have brought in a brand new chat filter system that will work around those types of words and only filter the bad words. Currently, the system blocks profane words, advertising, spamming and excessive caps. We have tread carefully with the excessive caps section of the filter, and it will only automatically lower your sentence to all lowercase if you have 5 or more uppercase characters. Of course, this is initial setting, and can be increased and decreased based upon how it catches people using all uppercase characters. The profanity filter contains a set range of inappropriate words that are not allowed in public chat. These words will be filtered in chat, but staff will be able to see what somebody actually says, so if somebody is swearing at you in chat, they will be able to see it and punish accordingly. The same process goes for advertising. This new anti-advertising system is a lot more robust than our current system, and will not claim you are advertising when you are clearly not. As a reminder, this new system will not punish you for anything you do. Any punishments will be at the discretion of a member of staff online at the time, so if you see somebody bypassing the filter in any way and there are no members of staff around, be sure to report them here and our Forum Commander team will process your request as soon as possible! This system will be rolled out throughout the day to each server. Make sure to keep active on the forums as we have more announcements soon, including an update for ranks! I would like to thank you all for sticking with us, we are growing every single day, and it wouldn’t be possible without you all! See you in the next one.
It sounds good to me, but what if this could block the word hack or hacking? This would stop people from hackusating.
Maybe also the word "ez" because it starts fights, and I personally think it can hurt people's feelings. Filter this word to like "gg" or something, for Kitpvp and Comp 1v1
I don't see a point in this "Please do not repeat the same (or similar) command." thing. If anything, there will be more spam with this.
David, I can see why this filter is even on the server. A few days ago, there were two players spamming /afk, but I do think that the filter should apply to a list of selected commands.
