Default Very minor complaint.

This is a complaint against the filtering system in this forum.

Basically, three letters of my name are sensored because they apparently form a derogatory term for a newcomer. Quite annoying when one cannot say his own name, perhaps the filter should be removed? I don't see how it can be abused that often, seeing as how this forum is quite "slow" and Wizards seem to patrol every thread anyways.

I thought of you when I did it and I suggest changing your name since it has an offensive internet curse word in it that is blocked in-game (that specific version may not be blocked, but even if it is not saying it would be considered going around the filter and thus an offense to silence someone for).

Actually, simply by definition, ****ie DOES simply means newcomer. A **** is basically an internet knave, someone who goes around calling other people ****ies and ****s (Thus why it those terms are inherently insults now, even though the only one with a real derogatory meaning is ****) for no apparent reason, talking in 1337 5933C8 and bascially being an ***. Just wanted to say that. But still, nothing wrong with filtering it since nobody really uses those terms correctly nowadays.

From another forum in which I participate, I just love this. Even though I know it wouldn't fly here.

The forum is for another game, and the potentially objectionable content in the game is nothing that I can find.

I always though **** was the mean version and ****ie just meant someone who was new to the game. :/

Read the rules people: http://www.wyvernrpg.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6

2. Do not use offensive language. There is a filter which will catch most of it, but even so people generally get what you meant and that is not acceptable. So, just avoid it altogether and if you see that the forum filtered a word after you made the post, it would be a very good idea for you to go back and edit it out before a moderator sees it. It is more work for us to edit your post for you so we may sometimes simply delete such a post entirely, causing any value you may have had in such a post to be lost.
