Filtering doesnt help.

The younger players just change a letter or write it in leet, and there is no possibility to censore all these words.

You need to change their attitude towards flamin', censoring helps nothing.

Censoring does help, but the rule needs to be inforced also to stop people from evading the filter.

It was not the only reason I quit, and I didn't quit because staff was doing it.

Servers do not need mandatory word filters, what they need is the GPs to do their jobs. GPs only purpose is to maintain 'law and order', if cussing/harassment is that much of a problem the GPs should investigate instead of shrugging it off.
I think filtering out a few legitament words is a small price to pay for using a filter, I have never had a problem with filters that are being used on PW's

I also did say that the staff needed to inforce it, instead of ignoring it.

What exactly does filtering help? People who are offended by the cussing will know what they are saying anyway.

Person One: "you are such an ***"
Person Two: "OMG NOW I SEE THREE STARS INSTEAD OF THE WORD I ALREADY KNOW IT IS: 'ass'"

You were giving reasons as to why staff were not inforcing the rule, which lead me to believe you are for that.

Doesn't matter, you cannot see the word, at the very least it is more professional for a game that people pay for.

I also said it was not inforced as it should be, making the game less enjoyable for those of us that do not wish to be cursed at, sexually harrassed, and so on...
The reasons that I gave were just my opinion as to why the rule may not be being inforced as it should be.

Graal is for the most part, about the community. Preventing people from saying what they feel will disrupt the community, in my opinion. It is like real life, if you don't like what someone is saying, walk away. If they follow you, you report it as harassment to the authorities. If they don't look into it, you report the neglegence to a Playerworld Administrator.
