Dear Devs and programers, The profanity filter is INSANE.

Why are things like things like W followed by T and then F filtered? Seriously? Filtering Acronyms now? Another one that puzzles the snot out of me is I couldn't name my companion, Mongo *incase that's filtered here, the name is Mungo, but swap the U for an O.)... It told me I couldn't name pets profanity. What in the same hill is so wrong with Mongo? I mean has no one seen Blazing Saddles?

I mean I completely understand the need for one with kids playing your game, but some of these filters are asininely insane? What are you eventually going to filter every letter and possible acronym combinations people come up with too? Why is Mongo filtered? Just in case its filtered... Mungo (u for the o again).

    Yes that helps some, but still doesn't make any sense what so ever why Mongo is filtered. Annoying I couldnt name my pet that.

    A guildie could not use the words "idiot" and "suck" in their foundry quest dialogue. Seems a little too strict to be honest.

    Hah, you want insane filters. At least this one doesn't search out words that happen to be formed in other ways. One game I played a couple months ago, I was talking to someone about various stuff. Don't recall the entire thing, but at one point I said something like "it's not that bad of a game". And it showed up as "it's not that bad o*****ame." :p

    (And then there was WoW's filter. They had several cloaks in the game named things like "Drape of the Gods".... but you couldn't talk about them in chat, because it came out as "D****" :rolleyes:)
