This Censor is Stupid | Forums

I don't mind a censor, but not one that's stupid. The current implementation is really impacting the functionality of the site. Look at any post that contains a quotation. Your own image is rendered a red X because the path uses something that's been censored.

Additionally, why are some words that aren't profane being censored.

Does B U T T really offend anyone here? Does the saltier version even do so? Sure, there are undoubtedly certain words that make sense to censor... but there are only a few of those. The blanket coverage aspect is quite silly, particularly since you folks at Ubisoft have chosen not to censor lyrics in the game we're talking about... which means we can't use the language used in your game to talk about your game? Come on now.

Let the forum fuction, remove the censor as it is until you can figure out how to properly configure it to remove F, S, MF, etc.

It really needs some tweaking, that is for sure. It is killing links to things, over embedded words, like in a-s-s-u-me and b-u-t-t-e-r-s-c-o-t-c-h.

Pretty dumb word filter IMO.

I just noticed the word b-u-t-t-o-n was censored. LOL!

[OddyOh]

Yes, it's dumb. People are talking about which b-u-t-t-o-n to push in the game, and it's all starred out...I spend a lot of time in forums, haven't come across b-u-t-t being censored before...yikes.

F a r t ? Really? Who are these words offending? I wasn't aware Ubisoft communicated with 18th century Massachussetts Bay.

I almost started this thread this morning, but I sent a PM to one of the mods and got a reply that they are working on it.

I really had to LOL when I noticed yesterday that Mean ***** was finally allowed and assumption and pass were censored (which seems to be fixed now).

it's the same way on the official GH forums

I don't play guitar with ****ons, and I don't use asterisks to speak. lol

You'd think a forum swear filter would include a list of exceptions out of the box (ie. censor "a s s" but not "a s s u m e").

I find it hilarious that you can't even write John Lee Hoo ker's name without a space, because it'll censor his whole last name. And when did f a r t become a bad word?

Ubisoft fail.
