LOL!  Remind me never to talk about poultry on the radio!      Ratbo, you had also better be careful what you say about your ddddddddddducks!

Did you say the word "woombiboombi" by any chance? Cos that's a swear word in Swahili. Just thought I'd mention it in the off chance.

You have to spell the curse words correctly before they become curse words to the profanity filter.

What's the point of being able to spell, half these dimwits can't read  

And on that note, if you think about it, flying with one hand on a joystick while evading a 109 which is locked onto your 6 all the while trying to type the waypoints into the textbuffer with 1 hand while arming the bombs, opening doors, setting the sight can really go a long way towards developing a new language.

Yeah, sometimes an extra pair of hands would be handy....

Only if your a woman. Guys can get by with just one.

Profanity filters are useless anyway. If I ever wanted to mouth off and cuss I can certainly mispell stuff enough to avoid the filter but be obvious of what I mean to say

*F* replaced by *ph* in the 4 letter word and ding! no filter warning.

I would rather have a VOTE system to have someone muted.

playerinch1: you $#@$# , 4@#$@ I hope your mom $@#@#%$# $%#%#$ dog #$@%$@# .

A vote is started, once you get 12 votes (only 1 vote allowed per person) that mouthed off person is muted for an hour.

Works wonders in other online games. l33t sP34K always beats filters anyway.

vote 1 for tac

So, why did I get this warning?  Are they automatic, triggered by something I (mis?-)typed?

So... HiTech?  Pyro?  Can anyone shed any light on exactly what I typed that triggered this message, please?

I was extremely embarrassed to receive this warning and am hoping it hasn't tarnished my reputation in the game or on the boards.
