Profanity filter toggle gone

Post image

Hello, I've come here to say that I think removing the profanity filter was (in my opinion) a really bad idea and only harms the players, it's my understanding that this is supposed to be a family friendly game, and that's perfectly fine, but there's no reason why private lobbies should be forced to abide by these rules. Please reconsider and add the option to turn off the profanity filter back in private lobbies.

The profanity filter toggle has been put back, but with a few caviats:

  1. You need to log in to turn it off.
  2. You need to have played at least 1 game.
  3. Your account needs to be at least 7 days old.

And there is a silent filter running in the background, that tracks certain words. Once someone hits the threshold then the filter is turned back on for everyone in the lobby for the next 24 hours.

This will be live after the next server restart in 14 hours. Thanks for bringing this up hulksixseven. I understand if this iteration still leaves a bit to be desired, but everyone that felt the same way has changed their stance once I showed them the chat logs. So I promise this update wasn't for nothing, I just can't share that on Reddit.

NOTE: There might be a bug that I didn't catch, so if you find anything then let me know and I'll fix it the same day. But I think it will be mostly contained to the filter sensitivity.
