You know what's really strange? How staff never seem to want to share their opinions on the chat filter.

Not really possible. Either it's filtered or it's not filtered.

On Topic: There's a lot of good points here. I'll have a chat with Marco about some of our muted words. Thanks for your concern.

See, they do share their opinion, no problems there.

Getting stuff done however....

@rubik_cube_man
Tell us your situation.

 

[MidnightMailman]

I do not think the filter should be removed. However, when I am trying to explain concepts or situations to people in Tower Defense, I type a huge message and then it comes back "You are not allowed to say this" it is quite frustrating. Especially since I am trying to help people and I get punished for it. I think the chat filter should be limited to the absolute terrible swear words(no spaces) and reducing spam.

 

[Ellie Williams]

At least you are now able to say "creeper incoming". Previously, that would be blocked.

Oh yeah, just found out that "free" is blocked.

EDIT:
Also, forgot to add, we should allow links from cubecraft (like reports.cubecraft.net or https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/did-you-know-its-mutable-to-talk-in-chat.181229) to make it easier to tell people how to report, etc
Added it to the poll.

The current chatfilter is just horrible.
Spanish people can't even use their own language properly, unicode is not allowed in chat, users cant be addressed (with tab) because their username contains something that is banned (example: TrumpThatDuck)
You can't even say Mojang in chat for gods sake. The company who currently work on minecraft cannot be mentioned in chat. Not to forget talking about optifine too, because once upon a time many years ago someone talked about free optifine capes. Making conversations is sometimes just unbearable.
Example: "Could you please put a chest right here?"
See anything wrong with this sentence? No, obviously not
Let me make it more clear:
"Could you please put a chest right here?"
Oh no, we must not allow spanish swearing in our chat right?
The worst part is that people who don't know puta is spanish for whore have no idea why they can't say that sentence, and thus making chatting almost unbearable.

My suggestion:
Because the filter is just 100% retared we should remove it.

A lot of people will probably disagree with this so here's an alternative suggestion:
Instead of responding with: "You are not allowed to say this!"
It should say: "You are not allowed to say <word>!".

Also, allow unicode and things like ~ " ë etc.. Let spanish people speak their language. I know it's not allowed to "prevent bypassing the filter", but that's just useless. If someone really wants to say a word he will find a way to bypass it.

Last thing: Allow words when they are in usernames so that people can address them(using tab, without having to spend minutes trying to figure out how to address them without saying their name).
@hyperBravo Your title template is just amazing don't mind me stealing it pls? ok thnks. :)

agree to all of these and especially with spanish people , because why to have spanish language in game settings , when we can't talk spanish??
so , as you said , we should remove the filter and do it from the start :)

 

[Djentism]

Since you have the language options in your settings, why not have the ability to use spanish characters when selected spanish?

The original post is over a month old, but there isn't a two week difference between any replies. Therefore, it is not necro-posted. :)

Oooooooo Thanks for Clarafiying

Because staff said they would do something about it, and still haven't said a thing since, and I'm not letting this thread amount to nothing.

Free is one of those words that people use in a normal way, but the phishing bots use it to advertise "free ranks/capes"
Blacklisting it was probably one of the better ideas, as it blocked a lot of the bots at the time. It was basically one of the most common words used in phishing phrases.

 

[RushRush]

Good idea, and remove the word optifine from the chat filter, since it isn't a curse word in any language (as far as i know)

the word optifine was removed because or "free optifine capes"
It ultimatly lead to hundreds of people having viruses on their computers
