People are able to say bad things in game through the use of filter breaking. The devs should update the blacklist to counter all sorts of abbreviations. And here's something they should code into it! Anti-Punctuation/Numbers!
If there is punctuation in a word, then the filter doesn't count it and instead puts the word together without it. The ! mark is also half counted in this since its evaluation is I/L, which brings us to the next category. Numbers and Characters. It basically evaluates the letter values of numbers and characters, for instance 3 = E.
Here's the evaluation list
1 = I or L
2 = S
3 = E
4 = A
6 = G
7 = I or L
8 = B
9 = G
0 = O
! = I or L
@ = A
# = Any evaluation, it can mean anything.
$ = S
% = Any evaluation, it can mean anything.
^ = V, maybe
& = G or B
* = Any evaluation, it can mean anything.
How this works is the filter analyzes the word and evaluates every possible value if it has any of the above characters in it. The mods add abbreviations to the blacklist plus this equals less profanity total.
--Spam Filter--
If a comment has any of these words in it (And it uses the same filter enhancement mentioned above) then the game blocks it from being posted and prints "Sorry, but this comment is spam!"
These are just some example sentence parts, feel free to edit them. It might prove slightly inconvenient, because someone might post a comment saying "How to get a car in this game?" and the game would block it. The filter includes word replacements in the spam phrases as well but I don't care to list them here, it would be immense.
