I'll bite since the tide is overwhelming in dumping the filter. Filtering is fine. It keeps people focused on the game and less time focused on flaming the chat. If you want to swear, find servers that have no rules. If you come to a server with the filter on, deal with it. It takes more effort to type that stuff out than it's worth. It's funny how people leave their maturity and restraint at the door when doing stuff on the net. It's supposed to be the wild frontier with no rules. Impose a rule limiting behavior and it's like all freedom is at risk. Obviously that isn't the case here or in the real world. There isn't an absolute right to free speech here or anywhere. You have already signed your rights away with your agreement to abide by EA's online rules. The filter is there to enforce the behavior agreement.
Save your energy to argue real issues that have meaning beyond the right to text swear because it makes you feel better. Argue for better quality of code. Argue for more features and enhancements. Even argue to have admins examine their filtered words like using literals instead of lots of wildcards or 3strike policy. But please don't waste your time arguing about censorship or your right to swear. We don't go to Iraq to protect the right to be crass or vulgar. People spend more time figuring out new ways of outsmarting the filter than they do trying to get better at the game. My server, my rules. Majority rule doesn't apply until you start paying the bill and having to deal with every smacktard that believes it is his God given right to type anything he wants.
just type "moron", alot of the 12 year old admins dont know what it means and pb doesn't seem to pick up on it.
It has nothing to do with pb picking up the word moron or not.The language filter is setup by admins,who choose the words to filter, with admin software like BF2CC. It has nothing to do with pb, EA or BF2. The only thing pb does is gives you the pb kick reason, that's it.
I certainly understand what moron means and that statement you made about the language filter and pb applies to the meaning of the word. :laugh:
If you can't handle foul language, get off the f*cking internet. If you are a child/minor and your parents don't want you to see that kind of language, I think there needs to be better parental control. Hell, you can cuz in EverQuest, and you can play it at age 13. You don't get auto kicked for it.
I dont think you understand. The admin is in control. If they decide they can't handle foul language, its you who is kicked out. It makes no difference to him. your gone. If you cant handle that fact, you should "get off the internet" yourself.
Its all that PC crap. You can't swear, but you can kill. You can't show a nipple, but you can show people boning under the covers moaning and sweating. You can't say c*nt, but you can say b*tch (TV). Its just crap that makes people feel better about their parenting skills. Oh... BF2 is okay because it has a language filter.
BS, if you are worried about your child being "exposed" to explicit content you shouldn't be living during this day and age OR you need to lock him/her up in his room with no internet, no tv, no radio, no access to the outside world. P.S. everyone playing this game or everyone that allows their child to play this game should be responsible for knowing that it comes with crude violence AND harsh language.
ok,
so there are 2 types of people who object to the filter..
people who believe their right to free speech is being violated and that they should be able to say what they like and people who believe the game is so adult in nature that swearing is the least of our worries.
There is also an equal and opposite argument to both types of people. Free speech is a flawed concept. You don't get to say exactly what you want, when you want. nobody on the planet can do that without consequences. not even the most powerful people alive. and as for the game being adult, do you see blood? do you see people really die? they respawn dont they? nobody dies in this game.
both believe its pc bible bashing do-gooders that are running the servers.
Well newsflash guys.. you guys are the people the admins are trying to kick out. guys so opinionated that they show no respect to fellow human beings if they don't have exactly the same opinions as your own.
Youve decided the admins are wrong. well im sorry guys but nobody is wrong. your not wrong and the admin aint wrong... you just disagree. unfortunately for you tho, the admin is the one with the power in this situation.
sheesh, all you have to do is show a little restraint and some respect to some rules but you cant even do that. you cant even stop yourself from swearing. you even go so far as to try and get arround the swear kicker. that takes effort guys! and lets say you get arround the swear kicker? does that make you clever? does it make you right? does it matter? the admin will most likely notice and kick you.
the reasons for the swear kickers are irrelivant. If you join a server and there is one active, you may as well respect the fact that the admin has put it there.
its very simple and its been said over and over, if you dont like it, play elsewhere.

We use the language filter for the really bad stuff. There is no place in this game for racism or matters of sexually explicit content.
I've read some place here that some people consider this game violent which makes it ok to use unacceptable language. If you think this game is violent, you need to watch the old Bugs Bunny Roadrunner show, and/or perhaps watch the news channel one night and see what really goes on in the world around you.
It's a game meant for good clean fun, one which many kids, parents and grandparents play, so please be mindful of that and respect others. :)
Since its the abbr. of "Rolling on floor, laughing my ASS off"
In the english dictionarry you can find 450 words that start, end or contain the word "ass" if you want to see them all, i redirect you to this site: http://www.wordsmyth.net/live/home.p...atchtype=broad
Have fun with trying them out (be warned, you can only do this 3 times per server, so after you tried them all, you will be banned from 150 servers, enjoy :p
Who will go and kill himself because i call him a noob?

I don't get those server admins, they pay trough the noze to get that server running and then they just start kicking people. BTW cavemanuk, admins are people like you and me, they aren't gods. (perhaps in your lil' world but not mine...)
