I don't mind the occasional (ok, frequent) advertisement in global, but the majority of us want to join up with people who we enjoy talking with.
Folks who just type "join please" over and over equate to SPAM. Even 20 folks who type it once junks up the potentially fun Global Chat.
don't censor join, just ban people who say the same thing over and over again. like maybe a warning for 2nd time then 24hr ban for 3rd time?
Thoughts please!
It isn't that ONE person is saying JOIN JOIN JOIN JOIN JOIN... it is that 20 folks are all saying JOIN once... it junks up an otherwise interesting chat feature.Quote:

Hmm, there are a few flaws with censors in general:
1. They often censor words that don't need to be censored (eg if "abcd" is censored, but I type "ab cd", that will still be blocked.)
2. They can easily be bypassed by using characters (eg join = j01n)
But some people like to recruit on global, and their right to do so shouldn't be hindered.
99% of people on global are hoping to get a Ringer into their clan. I am asking that they do it with entertaining conversation, or by advertising the strengths of their clan.Quote:

How do you except people to recruit if it gets blockedQuote:

Also Once when I was looking for a clan I typed "I need a good clan" However it showed up as "I nee******od clan"
So then I typed "d a go" because that was the bit being blocked and it showed as "******".
Why is this?? Strange...
The censorship of the word join is probably the best to do.http://forum.supercell.net/images/icons/icon11.png
It just gets annoying how everyone says JOIN HEREhttp://forum.supercell.net/images/icons/icon9.png
Mute them
Plus, I would say Join quite a few times for people to hear me out and for newcomers to see.
...then be nice :-) EVERYONE already knows EVERYONE wants EVERYONE to join. :cool:
I asked the same question, Dago is a derogatory term for an Italian... supposedly. I've never heard of it, but apparently bad enough to censor? And I thought the term for Italians was Guido!Quote:

Just mute. It's fun too.
But it isn't ONE person saying it TWENTY times...Quote:

Well they made the "mute" button for a reason. You should use it! :DQuote:

I don't think so. The sensors are jacked up as it is. Sorry
It's not just 20 times. It's join, copy and pasted 5000 times :rolleyes:
Global is some clans' only way to recruit, so no. :p
I agree that it is pretty annoying when people spam the newsfeed with "join". If they want people to join, they should just invite them.
I am not saying "don't recruit". I am saying, recruit by being friendly. Recruit by telling us about your clan. Recruit by asking folks about their hobbies. But saying JOIN is not recruiting. It is SPAM 90% of the time.Quote:

They dont know how to recruit so they spam its usual
And u may have done same when u were not knowing anything about game when u just started👍
So basically no for me
You just gave me an idea... PLEASE ALSO CENSOR "FREE CO"! lolQuote:

"Join" is EASILY the most repeated word on Global, especially among one-word posts. Are you really against cleaning that up? Do you really want to mute twenty people? (Again, it isn't ONE person saying it TWENTY times, it is TWENTY folks all saying it ONCE.)
Can u ask this question on global?Quote:

How would they feel about it being offensive language?

Short answer: Yes.Quote:

Easy solution (what most of us do): Dont go on global!Quote:
