Censorship Petition

so dont start that "its 18+, right?" ****. we all were smart enough to know how to get around that, and those little kids who complain can go play WoW with their fellow 8 year old friends. just because someone uses a "bad word" doesnt mean u have to censor every word that some random person can make a bad comment on.

The thing is, if you sign up knowing it's an 18+ game, you are agreeing to seeing those words that are on WC and in gameplay. No one is forcing a 14 year old to fake his age, and if he reports the bad language because he's a "minor", joke is on him cuz he totally lied to play the game. If they can't handle language but deem it necessary to lie to play, they shouldn't be playing at all.


I agree with you on all the lil kids going to playing WoW instead. I wish we could get them to do that. =D

But here NOT Chinese GAME!

Want to know where this game came from? Read my signature. However I do realize blocking chinese/japanese characters from chat on this version is a little... pointless.

Since I can't say I'm *** anymore (g.ay/g4y) I have to say I'm a male ****.

I feel totally discriminated against...

I'm a mature guy who's accepted his sexuality.. and by no means expressing my sexuality is an offense...


I wanna be able to say I'm g4y again! b:angry

Just say you're "happy in a colorful way" untill they "fix" it. Or say fabulous really often. People will know.
b:pleased

I haven't checked myself, anyone knows if "fruity" is blocked?
Edit: Can't even link anything with "g4y" on it here on forums XD

I have spent alot of time and effort on my toon. Now, all I can do is sit around and watch everyone else running squads. Since the price of dq and other drops from regular mobs were cut, it costs me too much to solo grind. When is this going to be fixed?

I think making the censorship optional is a good idea.
PWI censorship hasn't been that good anyway, since I actually learned new swear words by using regular words like grasshopper and scooter (which is a mode of transportation). Censorship just goes bad when that happens. And now they've even censored j.ap, so you can't say japan anymore. That's just stupid. Way to discriminate a whole country.

the new censorship patch is really dumb. not being able to send or receive messages, squad invites and many other things is just annoying. this game has the female toons running around in skimpy outfits but you can't have certain words in your name? thats just ridiculous. and to have it optional is not a good idea as well. if someone used that option they would still have the same game play problems they have now. why would anyone use that option? they wont. i say come up with something so they can change their name 'once' and the name they come up with be filtered for offensive material. so if its offensive to you guys something pops up and says can't use that name. it could even be a boutique item or something. but for a 1 time use, as in you can only change it once. it might be a lot of work on your guys part but it would make people happier than not being able to do anything in-game.

Yeah but people still feel the need to post their opinions on it.

And our luck, they won't "fix" it for another week, prolly no maintenence tonight <__<;

Fixing it is great but when. So far this morning I have answered 8 wc messages looking for a 5.0 sin for NV. Not a single response. I am guessing that a 5.0 +10 weapon sin is what they looking for but haven't got a single response even spelling out my name with a space and telling them there is no spaces in it. I would say perhaps I am a fail sin but people on my friends list ask me to nv all the time. We have 3 hours left of 2x and I have been trying to get in a squad for over an hour. This never happened before this last update..

I'd bring you if i could pm you!

PWE has been pressured by many people to make WC more friendly to younger eyes. This, however ill-conceived you might believe it to be, is their way of doing that.

Kritty, by law, if a child 'agrees' that they are 18, without parental consent, to play this game; and their parents get offended by the 'vulgar' language in WC, it is down to THEM to do something, as their child is on the site illegally (or just without permission, but saying illegally makes them sound bas-***) they are the ones in the wrong. As the game's target market are those above the age of consent, who probably stay up past the water gate, then PWE must simply explain that the game is intended for slightly older gamers. Because it is the terms and conditions, they can't touch PWE, so i have no idea what they're fearing...
(and if the kids are playing, they probally won;t be part of the larger investment base, as we have seen in the past, PWE doesn;t give a damn about the player base, or the decline)

Good news guys. They are looking into a fix for the name censorship and should have a solution within the next few maintenance sessions. Correct me if I am wrong but we only have maintenance once a week right???? So no hope in sight I guess...

I learning many new word thank you pwi

Not sure why thye do for an 18+ game, however the TOS clearly states...

(h) Impede or disrupt the Service or the normal flow of game play or dialogue in the game or in Interactive Areas on the Site or use vulgar language, abusiveness, use of excessive shouting (ALL CAPS) "spamming" or any other disruptive or detrimental methods in an attempt to disturb other users or PWE employees;

People are quite frankly lucky GMs aren't banning them left and right for this in WC alone.

The only thing I support here is a refine of the swear filter that allows appropreate words that contain inapproprate words 'Technically' for example is filtered in the middle for the chnic part. Apparently its a racial target I'm sure 99% of the world didn't even know about. I didn't even know till I check UD the first time it got filtered on me. I'm also assuming these things will be filtered anyways on the forum.

Its kind of nice they beefed up the filter to catch more of the little slight mods... but really if they don't want us swearing we shouldn't be trying to avoid the filter in the first place.

Maybe they should just roll back and start enforcing the rule instead? Wave bye bye to a lot of people b:bye

How did you get to 102 without knowing that we only have maintenance once a week (if we're lucky)?

was sarcasm...

They're working on knocking back the sensors again. This time it IS getting out of hand.

Also, ask your friend with the sensored name to post in This Thread, so the mod can add him to the list of people effected by this change.

=\ To be honest, it was out of hand years ago. Seriously, it sensors the word scooter. |D Grapes, I can understand, but SCOOTER?
