Uncensor Global Chat (See Why)

Well...our first amendment of the Constitution of the United States specifically states that we have the right to the freedom of speech. Censoring our freedom of speech is a direct violation to the constitution and I'm surprised that you have not been sued yet. I'm not trying to intimidate you but making a point for the people who wants to enjoy the game. Also, several times where a person wants to express his mind but gets censored every step of the way, that's just silly. We have the power to report, mute, and ignore that person. Supercell should consider removing this censorship. HOWEVER, cursing and swearing should be turned on or off in the settings menu. Some people appear to enjoy the action and some people don't.

I suggest you add a feature regarding age appropriate globals and globals for the adults. This could be modified in the Settings menu.

LOL
10 lols

While I absolutely support your right to free speech. This is a game for people all over the world. Supercell has every reason to implement a filter. In fact it's absolutely necessary.

Ok, I'll bite because I'm bored at work.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Please take quick note of the highlighted words.

Supercell is not Congress much less an American Company. Even IF the United States Constitution applied in this situation, it would be useless when trying to apply it to a FINNISH (County of Finland) company.

Private citizens are censored all the time, in private situations. You cannot come into my home and say whatever you want, you will be removed from the premises. If you don't, I can have you arrested. Did I just violate your free speech? No, because your rights end where mine begin, and mine begins at PRIVATE PROPERTY.

Supercell owns the game, owns the server and has the right to dictate behavior they see fit within the boundaries of their property. You are not forced on their property and can leave at any time.

There wouldn't be a single lawyer in this country, even first year law student, who would consider taking on your case but feel free to try if you'd like. They may do it just for your $10,000 non-refundable retainer fee.

The first amendment prevents the government from shutting down dissent or to silence your grievances towards government actions and policies but does not protect you from being a jack ♥♥♥♥ anywhere, any time.

You have no right civil, constitutional, or as a living person to any form of speech on a company's owned server/forum/game/etc. They have every right as well as a moral and financial responsibility to make sure that the content on THEIR systems is conducive to the entertainment of the customers they want to encourage to participate.

If they were trying to silence your voice in public domain then you would have a leg to stand on. The freedom of speech does not grant you the right to curse in a video game.

Classic. As it has been correctly pointed out, you are quite mistaken in your post. It did make me chuckle, however. Thank you for the amusement. I hope you learned something from the replies.

Im not going to waste time repeating what other have said is the fundamental flaw in your logic, instead im going to point out that you managed to type this entire post, in which you expressed your opinion , without using a single banned word. Proving that you have the ability, if not the willingness, to communicate with the rest of the world in a socially acceptable Manner. You do not need to swear to speak you mind and if in your real life such behavior is allowed then do your swearing there. When on supercelll servers i suggest you take advantage of the opportunity supercell is providing to broaden your vocabulary and Develope interpersonnal skills.

I also live in these United States of America and I feel compelled to assure those reading this from other countries that we are not all confused about what freedom of speech means and hope you will judge us accordingly.

To the OP, to test your therory about freedom of speech might i suggest you go to the local police station and cuss out the first officer you see, then come back and let us know how it went..



edit..... After posting I noticed you are from Texas so I thought you should know the law in Texas before you go swearing at a cop. Apparently the State of Texas is also censoring you....

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.u...E.42.htm#42.01

I can't stop laughing at this post. Kudos to all the intelligent and informative responses. Sadly it probably won't sink in with the original poster who, apparently, just wants to cuss at kids in global chat. Clash on! :cool:

Freedom of speech is probably the most misquoted law in the US(not to mention Supercell is not a US company). Freedom of speech in in the US states that the government can't pass laws that restrict what we can or can't say. Supercell, even if it was located in the US is a private business could sensor whatever the heck it wants. If you don't like having your obscene rants censored the door is right over there feel free to use it.

Having a slow day at the law firm are we?

Wow.... My nose just bleed...

They sometimes star out hello!!!!!!!!!

The freedom speach does not mean we can talk freely. Try going into public and yelling word they censored in Chat youd get frowned apon plentily. Simply put, it means we gave the right to exspress ideals, such as protesting obamacare (LOLOL). They censor it to make more user friendly.

appearing when u type something meatball it get censored ♥♥♥

Not only that - but it is a huge myth that you have the right to say what you want where you want in the US. Companies infringe on your ability to speak freely all the time. You can speak it - but they can fire you in a heart beat for what you say.

Super Cell has every right to filter anything they want on their system. Dont like it? Go play one of the lame copy cat games.

And I came into this thread thinking maybe was going to complain about how the filtering system is dumb/broken and how it filters completely normal patterns of letters. Not a real example but I see it often turn this: Hey, TimS can you invite?; to this: Hey, Tim******ou invite?

Oh well...

Lol. Not everyone is from the U.S.A. So stop assuming that and also SUPERCELL isn't from the U.S. Geez. This guys problem with the censorship is worse than North Korea and the u.s.!

Someone needs to get a clan...

Absolutely not. Supercell isn't even an American company. They do support freedom of speech I'm sure but they also support laws to protect children too.

Meh, who cares. I'd prefer uncensored chat too but it's not a real problem. Just say friggin instead of ♥♥♥♥ing for example and if you feel the urge to swear, go out on your balcony and yell out all the obscenities you want.

And it's not a question of which country you or Supercell are from, they are a Finnish company and I can tell you for a fact that Finnish people swear a lot worse in day-to-day language than American people do.

Lol, the constitution of the United States does not apply to the rest of the world. Supercell is a company based in Finland. Just.... Go home xD
