I would like to see a couple additions to the blocked words list for text buffer.
Rape and all it's variants should be blocked.
Retard should also take a fiver.

I will not bore you with a diatribe on why because you either know why or you won't.

Regards

+1 on the first one.. Seen it on blogs, somebody describing something  they really
like, or see as cool, as "Rape".. Example: "Man, that new laser sight is "So Rape"!"
Is that what you are talking about???

Oh geez, I hear that, and I wanna whop somebody right in the ear.. :mad:
It is degrading, crass, and lowdown.. Didn't your parents teach you anything???

I'm not playin online right now, so I haven't seen this in the Chat buffer..
But have seen similar elsewhere, so it doesn't surprise me..


The second one, people just use too much, lol.. But sometimes rightfully so, LOL..
Like the idiots using the word "rape" inappropriately, are possibly RETARDS!

Back in Warbirds 2.77 the primo derogatory buzz word was : smacktard.  :huh

I hope it doesn't catch on here.

There is also a word that starts with an S that if I say it on the BBS, I'm going to get thrown out for sure. It's not blocked as of right now.

I also think they may have taken a few words off the block list recently.

i think a simpler way for those with virgin eyes would be a way to block words on your end... say ya dont like being called a "Retard".......... (just an example, by no means am I saying you aren't a Retard) perhaps you could type in ".blocktext retard"  & "Retard" would be replaced by "Special" or just some pretty lil   "******"     etc etc

I don't like seeing "rape" used so casually either.  Maybe the text filter can change it to "buttstuffed".   :D

Seriously, it is a very bad word (not profane, but the death penalty-worthy crime it alludes to) and has as much place in the game as the "f-bomb".

Welcome to the intardnet.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

So you're saying he is one.  Nice.

But I turned off the smacktalk channel years ago.  For every brief moment of wit there are endless days of drivel.
