Seems rather odd to me given as I'm pretty sure you can say "Holocaust" while in a game but when you want to chat about religion "jew" is counted as profanity. Thanks!

We'll take a look at this. It doesn't seem right.

Also, the profanity filter is faulty in another way. I say 'suck' and it filters it, but people say the A word and nothing happens...

Maybe the word Jewish works, or should also be looked into. -Do not summon me again!-

I have a personal problem with it, as I myself am a Jew.

Doesn't matter if it means donkey. Say donkey. it should be banned because of what MOST people USE it for.

@frozengaia True, but, dont ban the short phrase people use for a religion. Not right.

"Probably got something to do with those people ruled by the worst war criminal ever... Who was German just so you know what I was talking about." You mean Austrian? -A man chooses; a slave obeys.-

@michaek, That's exactly why you shouldn't get offended by it, it's like banning the words white, black, indian, christian, diabetic, etc. It's for people to say who they are, not use in a discriminating way, as any word can be used in a discriminating way, it doesn't exclude any words.

I just had a conversation about this in-game today. I didn't get a warning or anything.

Yes, I am Jewish and I wouldn't mind bringing back "Jew" or not. In games you can still say Jewish. I can see how "Jew" can be offense I'd give examples but can't risk it. And ass isn't a bad word, it's a common word. On commercials you'll here it all the time. My teachers even let me say it. As long as they don't bring back TRUE swears...
