I'm disgusted at the amount of times i'm reading "#@@#" in this game. I understand everyone has a different idea of what is ok to use and what is not, but even with my language filters active, I still see the word being spammed everywhere. Someone please tell me how do I modify the words which can be used and which cannot. This is a horrid word (Google it if you don't know the real meaning) and regardless of it's intent, I don't want to see it in a game I pay to play.

*it's ironic that the word being used (the R*** word) is being filtered here (see above) but not in game.

Players cannot modify the filter themselves, but if you'd like to see this added to the functionality, you are more than welcome to suggest this in our Suggestion Forum where our policy makers and developers can see your request.

Q u o t e:
I'm surprised that its not already on the list of banned words. In the last mmo I played before moving to WoW, that word was worth a permanent account closure if the investigation found its use was improper...i.e. PvP situations-"We (r-word here) those guys" or whatever....


You need to keep in mind that some words are included in others. Filters can be finicky things, one must be careful least they break communication in strange and unexpected ways :)
