]]>]]>So much anger about the freedom to swear or be racist how you want on a video game. Though the games chat system isn't perfect, it is relatively a step in the right direction. Considering how active some of the most effective GMs (including Zer) are right now. I would not debate a minor issue like chat. It's certainly is not going to be exactly the same on the new server and the fact that the new server is getting as much attention as it is depicts the notion of letting it be for now. Since the filter is in broadcast only; anyone, as stated numerous times, has the right to Tell, JP, or S chat their hearts content to a specific player in any manner they so please.
The appeal to having that freedom on the game strives from the knowing that there are no ramifications to be had if you get muted in an online game. Go to the mall where there may be 30-40 people standing around and start yelling you swear words and racist terms and see how many people join you.... Point being. It's socially unacceptable in most COUNTRIES. So why should it be on Faldon?
]]>The latter of the two is basically exactly what we have here, with the ability to turn the filter off. The former is basically just the same as going in a different channel.
It seems ill conceived to split the player base into two broadcast groups, given how small it already is. The idea of being able to disable the filter is one that many have been proposing, and it seems like a fair solution in general. Mods are still needed in that case, though.
]]>There could be a system whereby a player who has opt out, messages will not be seen at ALL by those who have opt in. In this case only other people who have opt out will see the messages, hence stopping harrassment by those who cannot tolerate it. The opt out people will still be able to see ALL messages by opt in people though.Only the opt in chat needs to be moderated using this sytem. Alternatively the opt out system just shows the words in its true from to others that have opt out but filtered to those who have opt in.
]]>Mumblee, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read that. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
If you had taken the time or rather had the brain capacity to comprehend my post you would have realised that I was indicating no chat moderation for those that opt out of the chat filtering. Messages of those who have opt out will only be seen at all or in it's true form by those likeminded indivduals, while still being free to read what is said by those who have filtering/moderation on. In this case the opt out individuals would require no moderation only the opt in.
Can your puny brain understand?

1. Way to steal your rant from Happy Gilmore.
2. Explain to me how your idea of "opting out" protects players who don't want to be harassed by people yelling racial epithets.
]]>There was nothing wrong with swearing, excessive swearing yes. Maybe put a limit or a timer on a word.
Racism yes, that can be filtered. There is no need for it.
Nobody Anywhere wants freedoms taken away, it will always stir up problems, as does the system put in place to enforce the change.
Everyone will blame the people enforcing it, I don't have any problem with the chat mods, they do what they are asked, only problem is favoritism. That can't really be helped I suppose.
The game will not stop working if this stays in effect, I just think it's wasted energy, aside from testing theorys for a new client. If this is the case, then carry on~ 
Didn't mean to offend anyone, I typed a rant at 3am, kinda loopy. Love you all... no homo.
