Fix the censoring in global

[Brenn]

It's about time someone solved that problem. Thank you for an AMAZING idea.

Glad you appreciate it

Does anyone have suggestions for how to improve it?

Bumping this, it can actually improve the game, and (apart from bug testing) would require very little effort from SC to put in.

Yea I noticed some weird words being censored, I found the weirdest one yet:

g 600k

I swear, type that into Global, it'll get censored. What is that?!

And the one you see the most common censored....

I nee(D A Go)od clan.

I was never sure what a Dago was, but apparently it's a slang name for an Italian?

Not only g 600k but also basically g (any number) like g 300k or g 24

It probably sensors it as it is similar to "gook", a derogatory term for Asians

you cant damn say "email" or "verse"

Ok. According to what seems to be popular demand (there have been other posts like the one above) I added a request that Supercell remove from the list those words that aren't really swear words, and put most of the obscure words in the "light" list, for the sake of lowering the chances of censoring normal conversation.

Also, there's not much I (or anyone) could do to help when you are actually saying words that are on the "censor" list. My original idea was more along the lines of increasing the effectiveness of censoring the words that need to be and having a lower chance of censoring the unintentional swears, not actually anything to do with changing the list of swear words (other than dividing it into 2)

LOL I understand why 69696 is censored... Thanks a lot friend...... But why is kkk censored?

This is a great idea, and i have to say the current censoring is odd. Like put a g, then anything, then a number. Censored. Just a bit of a problem.

Yeah, I could understand if they were innuendos, but they're not. The system is very rudimentary and has flaws which need fixing, such as focusing on censoring the actual profanity and not all the words/phrases which are in no way profane at all. They also need to block as many changed words such as "h1", you could use that in a profane word, everyone would know what you mean, so it should be censored. However, some of the words are profane, if you look at them in a different light, it's an innuendo for something offensive. But, some words shouldn't be on the censor list.

The remark "KKK" should be censored, in my opinion. It's a very racist remark referring to the Klu Klux Klan, a group of people, all white who hate black people.

If you wanna learn more, look it up on the internet, you'll understand why it's censored.

First of all, thank you guys for all the support (38-5 on the poll).

But just wondering--Is there any way we could keep it a bit more focused on suggestions for the original post, not discussing what should/should not be censored, as there's really nothing I can do about that.
