My solution:

ah you beat me to it.. i was thinking the exact same thing. If people dont want to hear swear words theres a perfectly good option in ultima online itself for you church goers

You seem to be missing the point...

Players shouldn't have to filter obscenity in options unless they are offended by pretty much every swear word. I mean, if you join a shard and 90% of the players say "**** you, **** this and **** that" half of the time they sure as hell won't think "ooh cool, I'll just filter obscenity in options".
Instead they will think "damn, this shard have lots of immature players, I quit". Unless they are just as immature, but that's not the players I want joining really.

I think you should ask yourself one question, do you really need to swear to make yourself heard?

I don't think that players would actually think "oh, they swear at this shard, I'm going to quit" either, but I could be wrong. :/

I understand that stuff like "FU-CK YOU ASS-HOLE!!" is immature, but we need to think about that normal sentences like "oh fu-ck, you won", or "fu-ck yeah, you rock!" won't work either. Or to mention a few more examples: "Shit, you're so cool!", "omg, wtf is that?", "that shit rocks!", "you're such a fa-ggot, "damn, I lost".

These are all "normal sentences" that ppl say, without offending anybody most likely, but it's still swear-words. Most of these sentences will probably be blocked completely, instead of just a @!¤#"! thing above the swear-word, and I'm pretty sure that that will piss people off just as much as it'll piss people off that people swear :/

That's why I suggest this compromise:

Swear-filter on all the time - yes!

But the way it is now? - No.

Instead: Swear-filter 24/7 filtering the "bad words" and shows @¤&"! where they are suppose to be, instead of one that blocks the entire sentence and says that you'll get jailed if u keep doing that.

Anyways I'm just speaking my mind as always, u do what u feel is right :]

Still, you are missing the point.

It's going to be enabled for at least a few weeks, then we will see what happens.

When your at the bar sitting with your friends you talk differently then you'd talk to your parents or whatever. With friends you swear and say jokes and such, well i have friends in uo and we constantly joke around and swear and such. You dont think about swearing or anything it just comes out.. And seeing as i have to retype a setence over and over again i dont even bother talking much anymore.

The swear filter is a good idea.. but its OVER doing it by far. All i am saying is fix it up, among other things that actually need to be fixed.

[imported_Sindern]

It doesn't bother me any, I was just messing with you. <3 I usually only talk to the people I play with through Ventrilo or a program called WASTE.

what you dont understand is that people from europe and other country think differently. They are raised differently and dont know what free speech is. You have to get used to it... Not everyone is equal and you cant really argue with the staffs.

I doubt it's about that. I think that Taran just wants to make this shard look good, pure, whatever, in front of new players coming to it. I think everybody (or most of us) is raised with free speech, europe is not very much different than america when it comes to that. Sure ppl may act proper at WORK and stuff, but when they talk to friends or play a game I'm pretty sure most of us are pretty free in the speech ^^ Oh well!

Hmm.. if you think about it the way taran wants the server to be pure and all.. that would be better.
