Soo, it's getting unblocked?It was a false block. We don't just block random words, they get blocked from other filters.

Scunthorpe problemInstead of punishing people lets just not allow them say it? :)
Noob is allowed?Noob is not harmful to anyone and it should be unbanned
I would like for the word "gay" to be unblocked from the filter. It's incredibly disheartening that I can't even say I'm gay in chat because some people use it as an insult.Hi,
One of the sources of complaints over the last few months has been the chat filter. While there are a number of players that would like us to allow all language in parties this isn't something that will be happening. Swearing is not going to be allowed on the network, along with some other offensive/obscene/sexual language, however, I am open to suggestions for words that may be suitable to open up to party chat. I can't promise that every one of these will be changed, ultimately we want to make the playing experience as pain free as possible and having words blocked needlessly is unnecessary. I also want to hear about words which are unintentionally being blocked, this is something that may happen for a number of reasons and won't all be known to us.
If you'd like to help this process please suggest words below which you think should be either unblocked, blocked or party only. I'll then go through them and make the appropriate adjustments.
Note. Please keep chat clean on this thread, forum rules still apply and I'll be editing posts that cross the line to mask inappropriate word suggestions.
This has been addressed in the past. Words such as "Gay", "Jew" or "Muslim" etc, aren't blocked because we don't want them being said on our server. It's because people use these words to verbally attack our players in the chat. These words are used in negative ways more than positive.I would like for the word "gay" to be unblocked from the filter.

Is there a way to make it where you can name skyblock profiles to a phrase with gay in it. While I disagree with the notion that blocking those words does anything to fix any problems at all, seeing as blocking the word gay continues to spread the societal enigma that it is an insult, all I wished to do was rename my skyblock co-op profile to "The Gays" seeing as all the players are gay which I was blocked from doing.This has been addressed in the past.

It's too difficult to allow them and just block specific sentences, too much to maintain. So sadly we're not going to be removing these words from our filters. Thanks.
I completely understand; I myself am within that group. Skyblock profile names run through our chat filter, and sadly there's no way to remove these or exempt words at this time. In the future, if profiles become public, allowing specific words can create issues and abuse around this too.Is there a way to make it where you can name skyblock profiles to a phrase with gay in it.

Agian, I think it's a sour practice to try to block something from its core that indirectly harmful to the people it trys to protect, but it seems my opinion on the matter won't change anything, even though I am in an affected group.
