What is the Arc Client?

want to laugh?

I tried to send a bug report. Got told it couldn't be sent because of "profanity". Are they serious? Not a single word in that report had profanity! Not even in the same universe as close. They need to share what ever there smokeing over there. Because what ever it is.... must be good stuff! LOL!

    It could be one of those filters that goes out of it's way to find profanity where none actually exists. I've seen it in a few games. It doesn't seem to be in place in the game itself, but that doesn't mean it isn't in use with the ticket reporting. Basically the way it works is by combining words, and thus creates profanity on it's own, and then filters it. Take two words, say, "fish" and "it". The filter ignores the space between the words and creates "s**t" and then filters it. Games that use this kind of filtering can make for some pretty hilarious conversations.

    The only occasion when you seriously should consider contacting support is account transaction issues and pretty much everything non-game related. By trying to report a bug you are deliberately asking to waste your precious time on things nobody will ever look at.
    For glitches and bug reports you will have better odd on reddit. Glitches that affect your character/progression are 50/50 chance of resolve.

    I like how the ingame filter won't let you talk about William Shatner's hit songs. I bet the OP's hit a similar wall.

    Filtered version:
    I like how the ingame filter won't let you talk about William Shatner' @#$% songs. I bet the OP' TRIBBLE%% a similar wall.

    Then just post it in the Game Play Bug Reports forum.

    Not everything you think or do requires the creation of a thread. Sometimes it's actually ok to just laugh it off and not make a thread about it.

    Actually, I vaguely recall this happening to one of my Support requests. I Just paraphrased it a few times until I cleared the landmine as randomly as I stepped on it. Still don't know which word it was that set it off. Which is funny since I sometimes swear like a sailor while reporting particularly egregious AFK'ers and don't get flagged.

    I always laugh at your posts, OP.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Get sarcastic much? Are you haveing them same issue I have? You wouldn't laugh if it all happen to you. They need to change all the discriptions for all the gear to reflect what the gear ACTUALLY does. Instead of lieing by saying blah blah gear does this, when blah blah gear doesn't. That is most of the problem I have with this game.

    Some of the things the game filters as profanity are so obscure most people would never perceive it as such. Sometimes it even filters NUMBERS! 69 and 132 for example.

    69, I can comprehend (not understand, because outside the well-known specific context, it's just a number). But 132 baffles me. Is there some hidden meaning I'm not aware of?

    No I'm not having the same issues that you have. When I see a "defeated window" I change my tactics instead of demanding that the developers change the game so that I don't die. I also don't swear or hurl insults whenever I fill out a bug report. Try to fill them out as if you're writing a professional letter and you'll have better success.

    When you write it out in 10-digit binary it looks like a rude gesture. Yeah, it's THAT obscure.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Wow...

    That's some research the censoring team/algorythm did. Almost sad, because that's researching for something that doesn't need that much research. Now, let's see if 177 (which is the article of Japanese law that deals with TRIBBLE) is censored.

    EDIT: Ah, the number isn't censored but the word used to designate the act of forcing sexual intercourse upon another person without their consent or against their will, is.

    No...NOBODY has the issues you have. And thank god. We don't need anyone else with as much issues as you do in humanity thank you very much.

    And your better by insulting people? Geez.....

    Can't change tactics when you don't know the cause of those defeated windows half of the time. Also no amount of "tactics" changeing will do you any good if basic things don't "register" with this game (polarize hull, shield drain resistance and even commands) be it intentional or not. I take it as intentional because I am playing in complete fairness using legit tactics. When a legit tactics doesn't do was it should, then yea I call foul. I canget tractor beamed and use polarize hull just to have that ability do nothing. Then get a defeated window shortly after. You are dam@@ straight I will call the "defeated!" window invalid! Because that "defeated!" window would of never happened if the Polarize Hull did what it was supposed too. Do I swear? Yea I'll admit it. But not in bug reports or this game. I am aware younger people play this game you know!

    I am not saying I encounter these problems all the time. There are times when I get defeated because I wasted abilites or got stupid. There are even times when everything goes without a hitch. If someone can point me out problems with my set up, I will welcome it.

    I admit it, I have used bad language in 'game crash' reports. I regret it though, and have not done it for some time. :neutral:

    For awhile everything I did resulted in a game crash, and after the umpteenth time it asked for a report I just lost all respect for the system in place. Typed some schyt, ( ;) ) Then for awhile I just didn't put anything in them. Now I'm all better.

    I'm admitting I was using poor manners. Again, I am not proud of it. Now a little humor? Yeah, I am proud of a joke now and then.

    Just try different language when you report the glitch. It will eventually get through, and a human being will read it and try to help.

    Qapla'!

    P.S. I can't believe that my ancient Sumerian word for 'Comments' got through all right ... ;)

    Glad to see someone understands where I come from. My aggrivation didn't develope over night. After the "umpteenth" time, I lost repect myself. I feel your pain on the crashing too. ;)
    On a side note. since when does "Khitomer" get restricted? It is no more or less a "bad" word than Enterprise. It was even used in a "G" rated program. Star Trek: Undiscovered Country to be exact.

    And you need to change the spelling to how 'lieing' is ACTUALLY written.

    Also, this was about a filter-gone-haywire. When did it ever become about you having an issue with 'all the discriptions for all the gear?!' Exaggerate much? Stray much?

    So, let me get this straight: you're berating coldnapalm for 'insulting' people, and the go off and tell him it's not the game that's 'lieing', but the developers?! ROFL.

    Seriously, your English sucks. I'm sure there are valid reasons for that. But then don't go rant about the Devs 'lieing', simply because you can't read the descriptions properly. Really, it's you.

    blood was not the reason it got a PG rating, otherwise that huge pool of blood near the end of the film would've bumped it up​​

    The MPAA admits some of the most backwards people, too, as judges. They are never consistent and alot of the time are pushing personal agendas.

    You spell "lying" as "lieing".

    One wonders if perhaps some word you thought "innocent" was in fact misspelled by you in such a way as to run afoul of the (often oversensitive) filter.​​

    The filmmakers explained in interviews that the klingon blood was made pink (the only place in the entire franchise that it is) to avoid bumping up the rating further. The MPAA has some really screwy rules.
    The way those comments are worded suggests to me that they did it before submitting for review

    such as setting a rating lower just because you like the film.
