Get rid of the chat filter already

The piece of crap chat filter can't even properly filter out targetted attacks against people, and instead is filtering out terms that are used commonly in the game like "killer", "face camp", and even perk/survivor names.

Either do the job correctly, or disable it.

    It definitely needs many improvements. As in, don’t censor in-game names or half of an entire language.


    but I don’t want to see those endless forum posts again where people were showing toxic chat screenshots. At least the chat filter did address these issues.

    If post-game chat turns toxic, leave the match. Don't engage those people by giving them your time or energy.

    As it is currently implemented, it prevents people from having actual discussions about the game in post-game chat.

    Why do we, in an M-rated game, need to have the devs act as babysitter and make sure no one's feelings get hurt? If people are saying vile things in chat, report them, block them, and move on with your life. I don't know why time and money was spent half-assing a chat filter.

    Remove? Not really...

    Give us the option to disable/enable it ourselves? Hell yes!
