That censoring system is kinda weird.

You can't say "blow up" cuz blow is censored. Master is censored too...

Reallly? That's almost laughable. Censoring non-swear words and context sensitive curses and insults? I sorta get the reasoning behind "blow", but seriously, "master" is on the censor list? What kinda swear/curse/insult would be make that censor worthy?

"Trans" is censored too. I know because I tried telling someone to transport SCV's, and it came up $%#!port...

GO back to the Diablo 2 censorship filter... I.e. none at all, this game is rated mature and if you're not mature enough to handle trolls, smack talk and the raging teammate then you shouldn't expect to enjoy the internet... nuf said...

EDIT: You can disable the mature language filter according to a blue post a little while ago, so yeh, just disable it

The swear filter is stupid. Black and white are also filtered out. >.>

BTW: Valkrail, you haven't responded to any of my recent PMs or my email. Can you respond to those, please (make sure you read them all before responding)?

Maybe the swear filter should have a few levels. A "super-strict" one that blocks words that could be used as swear words (like it is now with black, white, and bugger blocked), a "medium" that only blocks words that really are 99% of the time swear words(f***, etc.), and off (no blocking, which of course already exists). (maybe with the option to show the first letter or not)
