Never liked td, so I can't tell.
Personally I kinda like the new Arcade, but there's no quake, so it's still not rly good.
Imho they shouldn't have even made island games, kinda useless if you can't even make the games you got good.
SW - I kinda like it too, it's not bad.
Yeah everyone misses quake. Hide & Seek and SuperSmashBros were popular as well.

Let this thread die. We’re wasting our time , cubecraft will never listen. Perhaps its time we gave up as well. There are other servers out there
That's literally what I've been saying since the chat update came out, lol. And yes, we should really stop wasting our time as they made it clear that they aren't gonna change what the majority wants.

I’m done. See you later , Lucky Islands and skywars are the only good games . Staying on the forums is a pretty asinine thing to do.

First off, the rant. Don't read this if you're easily triggered, but don't argue against my opinion or the suggestions if you haven't fully read my rant. I'm always open to criticism, but not to ignorance and stupidity because you have't read the full message. Thanks.

Oke so this part is the rant just wanted to mention that.
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/fix-the-new-update.200731/page-15
I'll mainly be reacting on these comments, if you want my opinion just read this thread and all it's comments: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/remove-f-from-the-chat-filter.200800/

"The amount of reports we have received the past few months which contain swearing in party chat or /fmsg is insane. Apparently enough players do not feel comfortable when something like that happens in a "known environment" as you guys call it since it is amongst "friends".""

The amount of reports which contain swearing in party chat or fmsg have gone up in the last month not because people suddenly started to swear out there a lot out of the blue, but because reporters (read: helper wannabes) have nothing else to report anymore. Sentinel took care of the hackers, and the new punishment system took care of the crossteamers. So what do you do when you want a lot of reports but those things are barely happening anymore? You look for something else to report to get that report number up to put it in your signature because obviously that's how you'll get helper the fastest nowadays, and thus begins the reporting of swearing in party chat and /fmsg. There are no other things to report anymore and people are desperate for reports.

Once again, if you don't like the people in your friend list or party because they use words that offend you, all you need to do is unfriend them or leave the party. It's not a problem. (unless your goal is to report as many players as possible, in that case you stay in the party and try to get those sweet mutes don't you?)

"I understand "some" players want to be able to type certain messages in party chat or /fmsg their friends which contain swearwords. However I think it's also possible to have a fun time with each other without swearing."

A simple look at the poll of these threads: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/fix-the-new-update.200731, https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/remove-f-from-the-chat-filter.200800 defeats the "some" argument. It's the large majority and you can't deny that. It's also not just swearwords, also links, lenny faces, whatever. More on that in the actual suggestion.

Sure it's possible, but players don't like it, and it will cause them to leave:

"The recent chat filter change has been a debated topic ever since it was introduced. As it stands right now with being a Microsoft and Xbox partner we are required to follow certain guidelines in regards to specific functions in the server to make the server be accessible to all ages."

"Debated topic":

For what it's worth, swearing was originally going to be allowed in party chats when the idea was first proposed.
upload_2017-11-5_0-22-23-png.139571


Images from @Landviz and @Sophie

Seeing these images, I wouldn't call it "debated", more like "decided against popular opinion because of silly reasons"

I also highly doubt that those certain guidelines you are required to follow mention that the server must specifically block the characters "F" or "L". I also doubt they specifically mention that players are not allowed to speak Russian or proper Spanish in chat, nor are allowed to put a lenny face in chat, nor are allowed to send links to friends (when they freaking asked for the link as well for sctup's sake)

"We understand that you may feel frustrated that you no longer have the freedom to express things as you did before, but unfortunately in situations like this, our hands are tied"
(I highly recommend you to untie your hands if you want this server to not die)

I do not know the specifics, but could you just block the death threats and racial slurs etc, but keep words like "ez"(literally an abbreviation of the word "easy") and allow links?

"Both us and Microsoft want everyone of all ages to be able to have an enjoyable experience and this is one of the small ways we have to adjust for that."

"Enjoyable experience". One look at the polls and threads earlier mentioned should say enough about this. You're making the experience a whole less enjoyable to most of us, It's a fornicating fact. Adjusting for everyone of all ages to be able to have an enjoyable experience would be to change this update immediately, and sctuppen listen to your playerbase.

"I do hope you understand why this change was made and why it won’t be getting changed back anytime soon.

Nice finish line. Here's mine:

"Gonna lock this thread as well because it is a non-debatable topic. New threads about this topic will also be linked here."

I dare you to link this thread.

https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/o...ed-the-perfect-solution-so-here-it-is.201398/

The suggestion:
Make a chatfilter in party chat toggleable and have the default on ON. Also remove the rule making it punishable to swear in general, for example "Shit I died". (so targeted chat offense like "<> you" still counts, don't worry I'm not an anarchist).

Why?
This makes the majority of players now unhappy with the update happy again.
People can send each other links again. (for instance an imgur link of a screenshot I want to send to @jollow250 )
It will decrease the chat reports. This is a good thing unless you want to brag about how many friends you have betrayed, in which case I say to you: Go ahead and start a poll to ask for making it reportable again, let's see how many people will agree with you.

Second suggestion:
Replace blocked words in normal chat with asterisks (Sylly you *****) so we don't have to type in the whole message again because 1 character is censored. If somehow you absolutely hate this, please instead at least change the message from "You are not allowed to say this" to "You are not allowed to say <word>"

Thanks.

EDIT:

Hi I'm back with another suggestion.
View attachment 139764
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
LOOK AT THAT! WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!


Alright suggestion is: Change pchat text to another color or make it customizable for the love of everyone please. Party chat is meant to be extra distinguishable from normal chat. With everything being yellow that doesn't work. Just add a command called /p chatcolor <color>

Thanks

NOW ALL SHUT THE DUCK UP ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP CUZ IT'S NO LONGER AN EXCUSE.

E: oh about this: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/f...ip-is-no-longer-an-excuse.201763/#post-935449

@skifby , The reason made that thread is because one of the thread I linked to was locked because of an excuse that was now found to be false. I can't bump the threads so how else am I supposed to bring it back to attention?
The rant..
If I report someone, I don't do it to get a higher number. Some people indeed do, but I do it because they're violating the rules. So before you'd call me a Helperwannabe.. I report A LOT of people for camping or advertising. And I only report people who bully (after I gave a warning) or people who curse with disaeses..

I never even mentioned your name in my rant.
If the points I made don't apply to you, then there's no reason to feel responsible.

@hub3rt @johncoles @Quetzi you guys should really look at this, I think this should really be acknowledged. They bring up some valid points.

Hey! Sorry I tend to be a lurker only liking posts every now and again. I understand you concerns around Chat. I like the idea around either telling a player which word the message was blocked for or replacing the offending word with a character is a good idea in principle. The issue with this is that people who are spamming URLs in chat would then know what we are blocking them for. The difficulty with something like a chat filter is making sure it blocks bad usage but doesn't negatively impact real users.

Allowing links is a little harder even in PMs. We want to prevent people being able to send things like phishing links to get their passwords. I can completely understand that you want to be able to link things like Imgur links for images but at the moment we just blanket ban them. This might be something we look at white listing certain things in in the future but this isn't something we are planning on doing soon.

Having some ability to toggle the filter on and off in PMs or Parties is a nice idea and we can certainly look in to what impact we think this will have on players. Again sometimes it sucks because we have to make a decision that will negatively affect a small percentage of users but provides a better player experience to players over all.

As I have said before we want it to be as good as we can and continue to make changes daily to how it is working. Thanks for your suggestions <3
