Chat Filter Censoring Words it Should Not

edited October 2024 in Bug Reporting

I've posted this many times, and I've either never received any response or my report is closed as "not a bug" without any comment or set to "pending" and never updated. I'm reporting this again because I feel as though this should have some sort of official statement by now. It has been three and a half years since this unasked for "feature" was implemented, and it still doesn't work acceptably.

Previous reports by me:

Reports from other users on Reddit:

Censoring the phrase "ty" (6 months ago) -

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1c42lwf/saw_a_post_this_morning_about_how_bad_the_chat/Error

Censoring the phrase "killing himself" (4 months ago, also in my original posts) -

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1df87wa/when_the_chat_filters_acting_up_so_you_have_to_go/Error

Censoring the word "bardic" (12 days ago) -

Censoring the word "bardic" again (1 day ago ) -https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1g7u6qc/the_censoring_in_chat_is_actually_so_so_horrible/Error

Filtering the phrase "u2 bye" (6 months ago) -

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1c38n1z/gotta_love_the_chat_filter_please_let_us_turn_it/Error

Inconsistently censoring the phrase "facecamp" / "face camp" (2 years ago, still an issue) -

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/rr4pho/ok_so_a_chat_filter_will_be_pretty_easy_to/Error

Over 100 comment discussion about the chat filter (6 months ago) -

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/comments/1by1807/let_us_remove_chat_filter_already/Error

BHVR forums on the topic:

Allegedly "feedback is heard and it does get regularly updated to be less strict about certain terms" (three and a half years ago, one month after it being implemented) -

General comment on the censorship being too strict (8 days ago) -

I'm not asking for immediate change; I'm just asking that someone at least respond to the issue beyond some vague "we hear your feedback" or silently closing the ticket and moving on. I'd rather hear a "we threw this into the game and that's what you get" style response than crickets.
