"Dialog has profane words in it: 'put a'"

xenopz1

In the foundry I was editing a conversation. I had a sentence like:

"...and then you can put a stop to..."

An exclamation mark appeared stating that "put a" is a profane word.

Easy workaround (rephrasing), but just letting you guys know.

well put a (without the space) is a rude word in another language....did you perhaps mistype and miss out the space?

It's rather a pain when master is a profane word. Have always found these "naughty / bad" word parsers a bit of a pain.

I do not believe any one out there knows all the possible words that might offend someone in a language of which they have no knowledge.

*sigh* Don't you know, everyone should be fully fluent in inter-lingual insults, curses, and inappropriate language, so as to never harm or offend anyone ever.

Honestly, automated "objectionable language" filters only stop the ones that aren't actually -intending- to be objectionable in their linguistic array...the ones that -want- to hurt someone's feelings will $+()()p or, rather, stoop, to whatever length is needed to get their meaning across. A "swear filter" only means it's a challenge, and thus, more fun when they "win against it".

It's stupid. It's really really stupid.
Other than words that are ALWAYS offensive (like f*k), Cryptic should rely on stuff getting reported. Because context matters.

I mean, I can use completely inoffensive words to describe all sorts of nasty stuff. Context matters in language.

Man. Foundry has been such a disappointment.
