Profanity Filter Oddities? Post them here!

[GladeMaid]

my sister's farm is named after the road my parents live on (Honeysuckle Lane) so her farm is "Honeysuckle Farms" and it's blocked the "suck" so it's Honey****le.

A Honeysuckle is a flower, or in Finnish: kuusama.

this isn't in chat, but just in farm names.

Yes, it is in chat. I just discovered the "suck" filter as well, when i was explaining to a non native English speaker about not sucking eggs! I can't even think of an alternative word, but I shouldn't have to. suck is a perfectly good English word.

in what language is "sit" a bad word? Are we only allowed to stand on HD now?

I didn't realise there was a profanity filter and couldn't understand why 'wish it' earned itself a few asterisks. When I found out about the filter it still made no sense! ♥♥♥♥ is not written with a space in the middle!

Press and hold the vowels as necessary to access the alternative characters to spell filtered words. Should inappropriate words or language be used. The leaders and co-leaders can moderate as necessary.

Ok, I was musing as to whether I should sell Tilly 34 milk for 666 coins, and it asterisked the 666 to ***. Come on! If the filter doesn't! Like 666, then why offer that price SC ?

My neighbour had to offer cola in a funny chat, the word "coke" is a bad one?

Coke could refer to a drug

One solution could be that the leader chooses languages allowed in the chat from a drop down menu.

We speak english and german in my neighbourhood, why should we be careful with norwegian and korean words?

If this choice would be introduced, it couldalso distinguish between spanish spanish and latin american spanish etc. To be honest, I have no idea what SC was thinking when blocking words globally?
