Word Filter

Admins · #1 10-23-2003, 06:26 PM

We have added a new thing to the game server to allow the filtering of words, so that players cannot use rude words in their nick names, chat, PMs or toalls.
The admins of each server can change the rules by editing wordfilter/rules.txt , it logs the usage of filtered words into wordfilter/log.txt.
To enable the word filter you will need to restart the server with the control panel, the older playerworlds have already been restarted, tell me if your server has not been restarted yet.

I have attached a file that explains how to use the word filter.

This features has been added because several servers have already started to script something like this, to keep the gaming atmosphere. This new word filter also works for nick names and PMs.

Cool.

It's too bad I already have a profanity system, or I'd use this one.

I don't see why that means you won't use it. It's far superior to anything that could be scripted (assuming you don't want to overload the client/server).

I thought the same, but didn't want a mouth full of dirt if I got something wrong.

Lol. More like a mouth full of non-profanitized words

It's ok, the only one whose mouth is/will be full of dirt is Konidias. He's foolish if he thinks his profanity system will cover PMs and toalls, as the NPCServer has no domain there.

Um no guys, chill out. I didn't mean that mine was better or something. I was just stating that mine does what it is supposed to do, and that's all I need.

My profanity script doesn't even filter words. It only logs profanity ingame, for evidence, so that people can be punished for it later. It's a discreet thing...

Cool!

Always thought Graal could use this..

It could be inferred from what you said. Perhaps being more clear next time would benefit you.

But the profanity in PMs/toalls is unimportant? :P

Great, now we can finally implement pointless, annoying and silly censorship not only in the forums but also in game. What an achievement.

davidpsy · #14 10-24-2003, 02:18 PM

OOO maybe I can censor words like it and the mauhaha I'm ebil!!

Don't you ever get tired of being a living embodiment of a stereotype?
