Being an old ex grunt I ain't no prude, but fowl language has it's place it's not in the MA. This filter has helped my enjoyment of AH allot...WTG HTC!

I'm with Nuku. The filter is on the wrong end. I don't care about swearing and the like, because I don't do that. But I can see no valid argument on the server side filter against a client side one. Sorry to be so dumb, but I can not see any.

For you concerned with bad language, client server allows you to filter whatever you like. I can't see the improvement on having HTC doing that for you.

I don't want to be misunderstood, I'm all for politeness, especially in an evironment (chat) prone to rude talking. But I strongly dislike having anyone telling me what I am able not only to say, but to hear, and what not.

Anyway, whatever, HTC has made its decission (funny to see somebody is entitled to state that has made the "right" decission), so be it.

All in all, the sense of having a nice playtime amongst adults has been eroded. Not big deal, I'm still a happy customer, but not the same feeling.

Cheers,

A client side filter would only give one more thing that an already heavly burdened processor has to process. HTC got it right although it still needs a little tweaking.

I like it, but am fearful a "political' filter will be implemented and I won't to able to bash Gore anymore, hehehehehe!

Filter is okay with me.  I'm not so much offended by certain words, as I am by someone whose apparent purpose is to trash the game.  I play AH because I have a good time doing so.  If someone else isn't having a good time, I'd rather they log off and take a break (or get muted) than try to spoil others' fun by being "loud" and rude.

Guess I'm gettin old.....

HTC, can we please make this a client-side configurable filter? Maybe set it to "max" filtering by default and let people disable or turn it down as they see fit? Also being able to add to or customize the filter would be nice for people w/kids, especially those in other countries. I must say I AM AGAINST CENSORSHIP of all forms and I think it should up to the end-user to determine what they or the kids should be exposed to. Whaddya say HTC, give us a little flexibility? Please?

 I think they got the name thing backwards. You should be forced to keep the same name even if you get a new account. Alot of foolishness in H2H comes from the anonymity of the newu thing. Haveing an identity,even  if only in name, Is as close as we can come to being face to face, in a virtual world. IMO people would try to protect there good "name"

Agree 1776!
