Some things should be left to a FAQ entry.
There is a feature in the chat with regards to certain foul language. If you say something you aren't allowed to say, or if the system thinks you are spamming, it removes your ability to post in world chat for a certain time period. This is automatic and generated by the system...it has nothing to do with a random user being able to silence you.
but is this as random as the chat word censor in general?
Because if it is then perfectly normal conversations/words will be censored out.
And let's face it whoever decides on the filtered words has very little grasp of what is a swear word and what isn't.
For example: Hello boys and girls.
I have recently found that the word 'girls' is filtered to a *.
So half my alliance though I was swearing at them.
But the main issue is probably that the person typing the word has absolutely no idea that a word has been filtered.
It's a good job it's not a serious matter or we'd have problems.
I noticed this too...then chalked it up to the person who chose the filter words not speaking native english... then again it's a very elementary word. Go figure. What if someone was talking about his/her children? *shrug*
I wonder what would happen if we tried to discuss the actor who played Burt the chimney sweep in Mary Poppins...
