Speech filter should have an option to turn off or on. please vote...
For the record, Fifth is referring to the speech censor thats uses asterisks (*) in place of curse words and other words that have apparently been deemed inappropriate by the makers of the game.
Please vote as to whether it should stay the way it is with our right to free speech being taken away or if you would like your freedom back with an option to turn the censor OFF.
This argument is moot, the filter is in place to protect the quality of gameplay. It's not going to get taken down.
Furthermore, your spamming to advertise this thread, Starria, is against the forum rules.
Yes and the quality of gameplay is being diluted for some players by seeing **** and having to substitute words to try and figure out what the person is saying.
Easy fix: don't use vulgar language. It's not very had at all.
Really..? Been playing for almost a full 30 days and have yet to have that be a problem.
Dude, quit spamming.
there are ways around the censors, just most people forget there are censors when they type....but problem with people being able to choose is this is a family site, and there's no way for a computer to know how old someone is....there are plenty of kids who if they had the option would turn it off and yet you can bet their parents would get pretty upset that they were even given the option to
This poll is obviously biased as well stating, "I would NOT like the freedom."
It should say, "I want this option" or "I don't want this option."
It is also not a violation of your first amendment rights as this web site, is privately owned by a company. As such they have the right to restrict what you can and can not say in this area, that is there right as the owners of the web site. The first amendment only frees you from being restricted from what you can say in a public place. While the internet is not exactly private, it is considered a place that is owned and controlled by a company and they have the right to choose what words will and will not be said in there "home". Also your spam, by posting advertisement for your thread in the Questions and answers section will not be tolerated.
QQ and vote...
*talking to moderators*
STOP altering my poll... if you want to alter something then you just need to reply with your oppinion... monitor this for bad speech and hateful words. dont change what i write unless its harrassment twards someone or offends someone. this is getting rediculous.
Why don't we let the parents of those vulnerable children worry about what their viewing on the internet. And I don't really see the effectiveness of a filter that catches the basic four letter words. This BS filter misses about 90% of George Carlins list of things they won't let you say. I'd list them but I can imagine that'd be short lived. Filter = bad
that's just it the way you had it was offensive, just because people disagree with you about the filter doesn't mean they don't like freedom, the way you had it i found insulting to my intelligence and i'm sure i'm not the only 1 who felt that way......also no matter what the poll shows it's not going to change.....
I didn't feel that way, there just picking on em.
well anyway, how is censoring vulgar language going to benefit anything, it only frustrates those that cannot get their point across, and deafens the innocent to what the world speaks. For crying out loud we speak english, if they are such horrid words, why are they in the dictionary, should they be censored their too? ASS, its a body part, ****, another body part. *******? still yet another body part, why not censore out nose and arm, just throw them in with the rest of the "vulgar" words. FFS! you people are just so concerned about the children, well there gonna here it one day, in real life **** hits hard, so you better learn to hit back or take it. dont "censor" it it dont fix ****!
Wow! Very lame thread. I should post a consensus whether this thread IS the lamest or just lame. ;)
