I can't be the only one that feels that the chat filter is a bit too strict. I understand swear words, however last time I checked Underscores are not allowed in chat... WTF? So the ultimate way to make someone not talk about you is to have an Underscore in your name.
One thing I find a bit ridiculous are the words hacks and noob being censored, let's say that someone is blatantly cheating in your game, they are bunnyhopping their *** off and you want your teammates to be warned and not blindly get shredded by them. (Think In a British accent xD) "Why gentlemen, there seems to be a hacker in our game. He is bunnyhopping to our egg." That would be censored, then the person who wrote that would think, hmm what is wrong about my message?
•Was it toxic?
No
•Did it contain swearing?
No
•Was it an insult
No
•Was it a death threat?
No
So what's wrong with it? Nothing, the problem arises when people assume hacks, it then is misleading the teammates and soon the whole game that a player is cheating. Chat filter are also useless, there are tons of ways to circumvent chat filters, here are a few Nqqb, Hqcker, trading U s for V s. The list goes on, I would rather not say bad words in a thread if you know what I mean. And so what if someone said Noob in a game in the most toxic of ways, "You're such a bad noob, actually delete Minecraft." Well... Saying the word "noob" is not a reportable offence -AnimalTamer1, A moderator. Well then may I ask why there is a chat filter for it? If circumventing it is not mutable even if there are 5 admins in your game, then what is my incentive to not circumvent this word, would a staff member really outright mute you if you say Hacker or an Underscore. Never. (Unless it's chat spam). So why am I restricted from saying it? Because it makes chat less toxic? People will always be able to circumvent chat filters, all they are are annoying.
