chat filter...

okay so i was originally going to make a list of unnecessarily banned words, but during the testing for this i noticed something.

apparently the chat filter will randomly be banning words without any good reason behind it, but then wont ban them in literally the next message.

an example:

the german word "ich" (which means "I", "me", "self", etc) on its own is okay - however, when combined with the german word "habe" (which means "have") it suddenly gets censored? and if i write "habe ich", both get censored - while "ich habe" only censores "ich"???

then ive had it censor "er" (= "he") in one message, but not in the following 5?

"och" (which isnt even a word) is also banned, apparently.

WHAT?!


i never was the biggest fan of a chat filter being forced uppon us, but for gods sake PLEASE at least make it work correctly!

    I don't see why there's a filter at all; if you're playing this game you clearly are ok with cuss words; some perks LITERALLY have cuss words in them

    I think the "ich" thing is because it can seem like a certain word that starts with b. habe ich resembles it sort of (be ich), so I see why it'd censor, but it really shouldn't

    if so, then they really have the wrong priorities.

    cause ive seen a LOT of words thrown around that should have been censored, yet werent. for example, almost the entire dictionary of drugs.


    imho the chat filter should be optional.

    while i dont necessarily mind one being present for those who want it, i hate it being forced onto all of us.

    im not someone who gets easily offended, so i dont really care - in fact, i find it quite funny to see people rage over a simple game that much. i simply have my laugh, report them and move on. however, when the chat filter starts blurring out stuff that just absolutely shouldnt be, then it really starts getting on my nerves.

    The chat filter bans the word "phone" I don't know why? Also lots of survivor names? It's so strange
