Expanding the 'profanity' filter

The four letter word of Excrement along with other such words are blocked, which produces some problems. Like the people from Calimshan, Calimsh(aaaaite)te would be blocked. There should probably be some edits made to this filter. Putting more exemptions or making it more sensitive to context.

Agreed. At the moment it's a very silly filter, way too oversensitive.

I think it's actually "Calishite:"

Though it looks like that one's good now too!

Should be no profanity filters... everyone uses profanity in this age, its simply the way things are done now.

[ Moderator Edit: These were bad words. Maecius got rid of bad words. ]

j/k, I love you Flasmix...was just testing the profanity filter.

edit: It appears the filter lets some profanity slip through Zanniej...

That said i prefer profanity to be used for appropriation situations instead of just every other word like some people do. The purpose of profanity is to represent suprise, alarm, defiance, or anger so one should use it for those only.

Others will abuse it to maintain their limited vocabulary. Even worse when in character.
