Word filters are usually pretty useful in games, I mean, its good to have less kids run around cussing.
But word filters are just getting out of hand and seem to be made by kids themselves.
For example, you might not be able to say words such as “hell” or “jew”, which just seems plain silly, especially when in the game your “blow”ing (blow is also censored) up the enemy into pieces with your ak-47 or whatever is your weapon of choice.
The most worst censorship I have seen so far online would have to be in Combat Arms, you can’t say the above mentioned words and such like “suck” and “hole” you can’t even say “sniper” in it without censoring the “nip” part in it, and a lot of other stuff.
The best filter I know of, which people will probably no doubt complain to me about, is in RuneScape, in it you can say “damn”, “hell”, “suck” and other stuff, while still censoring the other words such as the f-bomb.
The sad part is how the big fps games have such a kid-esque filter, while a game such as RuneScape, which has a big kid base of players, doesn’t have such a strong filter for it, but still filters words that try and get around it, unlike others.
