No it doesn't, really. If you wanted to do that, you'd make any message containing the specified "bad words" not show up, and then display a message informing the player what they did wrong.
But in the end it won't stop the players who want to swear from swearing, so what will you accomplish? Saving the people who are too ignorant to read and follow a simple rule by implimenting this?
Is "<censored> you, you <censored> <censored> <censored>" really less insulting than seeing the actual thing?
' Wrote:You are right, but the auto-censoring tells you that you did something wrong. And that might serve as a remider that you could get sanctioned. And as a consequence you might become more careful in the use of unneeded (swear)words.
You almost never get caught when swearing, but when you are, the consequences are really bad. Still people become careless because the chance to be caught is slim.
With the new system you are reminded gently more often, without draconic punishment following.
It's - from my point of view - completely positive because it helps "educating" people instead of setting a rule and enforcing it by 7 day bans and a bar of soap in prison.

Did any of you read Cannons other post on what the new bad word filter does? If not i will mention it here for you. When you swear your kicked like mod detector. After you get nabbed 5-7 times? tou get auto banned. Soooo....go ahead and swear if you want,and watch it get filtered thinking oh well. Then wonder why you can no longer play.:rtfm:
lolol u only have 1 post u no can be admin or join in with admins )))
In all seriousness, I don't like the filters. Feels like Runescape all over again to me.
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.

Why doesn't filter allow me to say that somebody pissed somebody off i wonder. You know, it;s a bit retarded when you type a long message you would never get rerported for, hit enter, bam, nothing happens and you wasted some 5-10 seconds of your life.
It's just the example, but that filter really is retarded. People who want to swear will get around it anyway, and will be reported anyway, and for others it's just pain in the arse.
Also, sometimes i need to yell at somebody in pm to get into irc or onto some specific ship. Half of my messages don't go. What the hell.
