Your Chat Filter really SUCKS
It censors really stupid stuff, including NAMES of PORNSTARS. Mia Khalifa, Riley Reid. Sasha Grey.
I mean, what the hell π!?!
Isn't coding something like TOO lazy even for you? π
But seriously! at least give me an option to disable it. You have a lot of gore in your game and I can't type a name of a porn star? #########? :D
I mean, it's not just the name of porn stars, I came across some really stupid censorship that are whacky.
Did you let a religious extremist take over your coding and decision making?
And why again there is no option to disable it? That's also really a mindless decision. Was it just laziness in coding an option to disable it? Cause basically it should be mandatory to have an option to disable a profanity filter. You know, not all of your player base is 12 years old :smh:
Especially in a game with that rating.. i mean... wow. :)
Anyway.... Please improve it.... or remove it. thanks :D

the word "downs" is blocked.
cool. guess i wont be talking about a killers / powers ability to get injuries and downs anymore.

it makes no sense for it to not be optional.
what is this, club penguin?
Even runescape allows you to swear now
9 -
even names of some survivors and killers are censored the chat filter is a ####### joke

It really sounds like it was outsourced to people who have no idea about the game, there's no way someone with knowledge of game would ban Myers.
6 -
Like, I don't understand how was it even released?
Is there no QA for DbD?
Something so fundamentally and obviously flawed... that's really unprofessional, sorry but I have to say that.
3 -
Such a filter (which appears to be adaptive in nature) can't really be tested outside of a live environment.
0 -
there was already a Q&A for dbd, and why are you talking about adult film stars? My virgin eyes don't need to see that...
3 -
did you know MARS is offensive for some reason
4 -
Yeah, it censors so many non offensive things for some reason that it basically makes it hard to just chat at all.
It's really really bad and needs to be removed until they can fix it.
5 -
Sure but I feel like there should at least be a whitelist of normal things that should never need to be censored, say for instance CHARACTERS IN YOUR OWN VIDEO GAME, maybe, for example.
1 -
Agreed, the filter is overly restrictive. Note that I just commented on the notion of testing an adaptive filter outside of a live environment.
1 -
The chat filter should be optional and tbh shouldn't even be there, just give the option to enable or disable chat at that point. Also, this game is for 18+ and i wanna know who the people are that get offended by 'myers' and 'meghead' because thats absolutely ridiculous.

"Adam" is censored...The name of a DBD character...
2 -
yep
1 -
yeah but its not like a chat filter is new tech I see no reason why they'd have to build a whole new thing from the ground up
0 -
afk, crossplay, as, the game is literally for snowflakes now. You can't even say "Thanks Crossplay for the AFKers" translated to Thanks #### for the ####
Yeah lets put this in the game instead of fixing it. More broken code. RIP DBD
2 -
That still doesn't make sense, it wouldn't take someone who knows about halloween or DBD to know that myers or michael is just a name.
0 -
This chat filter remember me when i played roblox and needed to spend 20Min just to say an number lol
1 -
Better than losing your sec 230 immunity.
Plus, it's just endgame chat. There's nothing so important that you need to say on a videogame. Considering the hellholes of post-game chats I usually see, I'm surprised they didn't do away with it in the first place.
0 -
Have you seen an adaptive filter before, which gets more strict the more you abuse it? I haven't.
0 -
Reddit - blocked
Facebook - blocked
Instagram - blocked
Twitter - blocked
Onlyfans - yep thats perfectly fine
0 -
Damn, the more I play the game the less sense this chat filter makes.
Can you just remove it or give me an option to disable it? It's just damn stupid and unprofessional. How can you even release such an embarrassment?
3 -
played a game where someone literally had "cock" in their name but we couldn't say it in the chat.
My friend also couldn't say "sensual."
This game is rated M for good reason why on earth does this profanity filter even exist? A horror fan blushing at some strong language is a hilarious concept. Like I could maybe see if it actually filtered out select actually bad slurs or something for the sake of preventing harassment, but as is it seems to arbitrarily sensor every 5th word because ######### you that's why.
Bonus when you're trying to say something funny/nice and the game is just ########## #### so it looks like you're raging.
2 -
QA = quality assurance, not question & answers
1 -
I really hope someone from the dev team see that...
1) Remove the chat filter, it has no room in a 18+ game. it is a poor choice.
2) alternatively, should be disabled by default, and have people actively enable the chat filter if they're precious snowflakes.
3) fixed the stupid words included inside.it's just wayyy too crude.
2 -
And, like, why it is censored ? How the #### does it work to censor things like that ?
We're in 2021, because of many MMORPG and the social networks, text censors have dramatically improve, but there we have the worst censor ever created, AND there is no way to disable it in a M rated game, where in any other games or social networks you can ?
Please, there is no excuse for that, it's a bad work from lazy people.
1 -
"Bad work from lazy people"
Amen.

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER:
Your chat filter is ATROCIOUS.
I don't understand how can you keep that amateur and unprofessional thing in your game!
Not only it does not belong in your game due to the reasons already stated above, it censors SO MANY unnecessary things in such an amateur way, I am really buffled by this.
This is just shameful. I know you really don't care about that criticism but whatever, I gotta say my piece.
Shame.
3 -
**** ****** **** the ****** ****** lol.

Its like when Valve censored free to plays to stop bots from spamming the chat. Chat filters in DBD is such a pathetic nothing-fix to the problem of post game toxicity. Why even have a post game chat at that point if you can barely say anything?
1 -
And of course the moderators moved this thread to "feedback", a place where no dev gives a ######### about and less users see and therefore given less attention. Thanks mods :)
I made the original thread 4 months ago, and of course nothing has been done about this senseless change in the game.
1 -
While I am convinced that we have zero influence on bhvr decisions, please let us remove this ######### filter, it's a 18+ game ffs
2 -
It's in the feedback section, because that's precisely what it is - feedback, so it's been moved to the correct sub forum.
And the chat filter, is constantly being updated.
0 -
Never said its in the wrong subforum, just noted the annoying consequences. :)
That "constant updated" thing is BS to the least. It's a really bad and unprofessional chat filter. OH NO SOMEONE WROTE "PP" LETS CENSOR IT! There are thousands of examples of how just BAD and amateur this chat filter is. Whoever provided bhvr with this joke of a code should give them their money back. Or maybe someone paid them to use this pos? Honestly I can't tell at this point.
Also, it censors legitimate words, if you write w t f (the full words), it will censor the WHAT THE too.
Nevermind the fact that such stupid chat filter should not exist in a MATURE (M) rated game, with so much gore in it, or at least give an option to disable it!
Also, if its SO bad to beginwith, don't put it in the game! It's literally ######### and just hurts the experience more than it adds. How about build up something that is not absolutely disgraceful and only then implement it in the game? No?
Yeah thought so.

Bro, it's constantly being updated..

They actually censored the word Lag. Which makes sense since they seem to just want to ignore it.
4 -
That chat filter is the worse. It sometimes cencores nearly my whole sentence because it is noticing words of different languages. Like am I not allowed to chat anymore?
2 -
I've posted this elsewhere before, but Wesker and Sunderland are censored for me every time.
1 -
I just want to remind you: I was chatting with someone in the lobby and I was trying to say, that the chat filter sucks ass. What I got was:
"This game filter **** ***." Get your damn Filter under control or just delete it.
2 -
Quentin isn't censored.
But Quentin Quentin is.
This filter is magic.
3 -
Today the killer tried to write gg, but instead he wrote ## 3 times, Then he wrote bg which wasnt censored. LOL!
damn I shouldve taken a picture of this gold thing.
BHVR chat filter: 1. Good sportsmanship: 0
And this embarrassing chat filter is still in the game. ha :D
