Swearing is censored in chat. No filter can be perfect. Perhaps you are with the wrong alliance. Or make it clear you want no swearing. Aside from that there is not much anyone can do.
People get around the filters all the time in World chat. What evony needs is in game moderators. It isn't something that will happen overnight, and I know Evony is or at least were considering adding them. Recruiting and training the right people will take time however so there won't be any moderators for a while I'd imagine even if they decided today it was a good idea to implement them.
One or Two mods is fine i just want the language to be clean
Actually, it can. They just have to program it to recognized the substitutions as well as the real words. Just like the "cheat" thing... I can't type that word in any kind of chat, but I CAN type che@t, or c h e a t, etc.
Someone has to physically go into the language filters and add the altered versions of those offensive words to the list of blocked words.
But someone would always find a way to get around it and it would get to the point chat is extremely restricted and no-one would bother with it or maybe even the game.
Swearing is basically inevitable.
Society has a certain social conduct. If someone wants to swear they can do it in their head. But people should be allowed to play a game without having to deal with such language. And considering there are under age players such as the OP, I would consider it a real concern.
I will show the parents and children the exact same respect they show me when the soccer moms let their kids run around like tarded Poodles in a cafe or a restaurant. Everyone needs to realize they are not special magical rays of unique sunshine.
If you do not like the swearing then everytime soemone does it then just block them. Simple as that. And lets be honest, if the parents are freaked out about their kid seeing no no words; then why are they allowed on the internet with chat rooms full of strangers?
The parents of under age players deserve some form of moderation where language is concerned. And they aren't the only ones that don't like it. Plenty of respectable adults take offence to constant swearing. You would imagine that these people would not have to block people if this weren't a problem to begin with.
I know that in my playing days, the threat of reporting and the actual reporting usually took care of such behavior. You'd be surprised at the results achieved when decent folks make a stand.
In other words, don't just quietly submit, but fight for a cleaner chat in your server. :)
Forum account or game account or both? What did she access? I assume it was the game account because we've already got an excellent moderating team on the forums.
Some alliances are "dirtier" than others. My ex-alliance in Wn1, WMD, had an alliance chat that was pretty much business talk the whole time, but I knew of other alliances on the server who used their smutty alliance chat as a recruiting tool. So maybe it's time to switch alliances in that respect.
I also wonder what your interaction with your mom was in full. Is she worried about you playing Evony in particular or how you use the internet in general? How bad was the swearing she saw? I teach high school and get sworn at multiple times by angry kids every day, so is the swearing on Evony worse that what the potty mouthed kids at your school say? Mom may not be current on what profanity levels are unacceptable today.
Also, is Mom aware of the skills you are acquiring by playing Evony? You are learning how to cooperate in a group, obey a chain of command, represent your organization, communicate with people from diverse countries and cultures, plan to meet strategic goals and make critical decisions concerning resources and people management. These are many of the "21st Century Skills" which employers are increasingly demanding, and skills which many people don't get the opportunity to learn at school.
I think that swearing is inevitable on Evony. Yes some alliances have more "dirty talk" or swearing in them. I personally have an 18+ rule in my alliance just to avoid all potential drama with younger players. However there ARE more mature alliances that do not use foul language and stuff, if it's really causing a problem maybe try switching to one of those. If you take away the freedom to use our words too much I feel that you would lose players because half the enjoyment of the game for most people is the social aspect and having fun with your alliance. Just my thoughts XD
Oh stop arguing for it's own sake please. Acceptable behavior within social norms is a concept every child learns early. It is something all understand. And it does exist in Evony too. So yes, our members have a right to be offended and to report unacceptable language. End of argument.
I say just block them
People can choose which one they want to hear for themself. You know there Block Function you can use. If you don't want to see the chat from the person that like to talk dirty just use that function then problem is solve.
I'm sure if you use Block Function then you chat screen will clean from all dirty words.
Cavaet Emptor: This is the internet. We can't control it. If you don't like the things on the internet, I suggest disconnecting your ethernet cable. :)
Well if it was an alliance chat, you can ask your members not to curse as much... as for World Chat, you dont need to be in world chat, absolutely no reason to be in WC... everything can be handled with pink and blue texts... so the obvious answer is to just stick to alliance chat, because if you going to complain about the cursing on the WC, then stop looking at WC... how is that so hard?
As for alliance chat, my host established in the Alliance Intro that the chat is rated 18+, cant handle it, then go to another alliance. You can petition your host to establish a more child-favored chat so that the curses go down....
In all honesty, im surprise this isnt about the innuendo and frequent sexual references that is rampant on many servers :rolleyes:
Does your mum cover your ears during movies, music, and walking down the street? Just curious. You can change your alliance chat by simply switching alliances. You cant control world chat, but then again you can just keep it on ac, or whisper. In the real world some people use inappropriate language, same with school and work. The filters are a deturant, but in no way a stop to obscenity. I say take the filters off so I dont have to change spelling of my words to show up.
Can I be offended by all the people being offended by the way I talk? I am also offended by Busses, classroom desks and bathrooms that do not cater to my 700 pound frame. Whenever someone says the word Vegetable I freak out and have nightmares of eating a salad one time, I need that word stricken from the World Chat. Oh, and I am terrified of women, and I get offended that they are in the game and should be sent to their own server so I will not get shot down asking for a date to the VoltronCon coming up.
there will always b swearin on online games just put 2 pages 1 evony and 2 a game that has no swearin wen ur mom comes minimize evony(if she notices it just take it out the go 2 evony again)
+ how old r u???if ur under 12 then i understand y ur mom wants no swearin (me on the other hand have a lil sis wo swears alot lol and shes 9)if ur over 13 then wow ur mom must learn that ur in middle scool ffs and she has 2 :modedit: deal wit swearin(no offence if i offended u)
I thought it was censored?
I am the host of my alliance, I do not accept racism or discrimination. However swearing on an internet game is just the way it is. World chat is the worst so I would keep out of world chat. How old are you? I agree with the previous comments, in my AC the thing I would thing children would be offended by is the many sexual innuendos/ implications.
If you are offended by an altered version of a swear word, I suggest you stick soley to whisper chat.. or Don't play an internet game with a chat box.
