Inoffensive Censored Words List
Here is a small list of inoffensive words and phrases which are censored, [as well as my own comments.]
-
I am aware this has been posted about a bit here on the forum and I cant add much beyond this short list, but I think the issue deserves attention and not to be buried under promises of tweaking. Ive heard people say on many occasions that they wouldnt play STT without the chat features and community.
In fact DB has encouraged this by adding fleets and strengthening their role in the game. The new filter does nothing but serve to undo that. Maybe they want the community to be hamstrung?
Bottom line, please add a way to disable the filter.
[edit:_ it's not perfect but the censor has come a long way, thanks to the devs white listing of many of the suggestions in this thread, as well as the posters themselves; thanks!]

The first big tweak occurred yesterday, you should have started to see improvements.
We want chat in the game to be a safe place for everyone, it was not the case.
This new tool will address that.
I can understand why it's needed in the UC (Universal Clique) chat channel, but for those of us that don't live in there, the mute and block functions are quite handy, along with a filter.
Could we clear password please?
EDIT: Cleared, thank you!
LaForge was blocked today, then within minutes it was ok. Just another one for the list, thanks!
EDIT: Cleared, thank you!
I get what this is trying to protect against, but I find it a pretty far stretch.
Things like this just turn totally innocent sentences into looking super dirty.
This kind of stuff makes chat hard to read!
EDIT: Cleared, thank you!
hab ich = I have/have I
dich = you
bisher = so far
especially the first two are extremely annoying.
Created a kingdom. Reached for the wisdom. Failed in becoming a god.
So what your saying is if I type ich liebe dich it will say, ich liebe ####.
Pretty sure with the #### it give a much more suggestive tone to it than without.
For those that don’t know ich liebe dich just means I love you.
Bad Q
^^^^ blocked
And are "documented", "documentary" etc. allowed yet?
these have been fixed
very tired of having to speak in first grader speak.
you, DB, big meany, you make us use not words, you make no speaking ever, ship go boom,
cant say with words make know happened, word hurt other censor brain, not know what word means, so hurt feelings of censor.
if that doesnt hurt your brain DB, you are truly ###### in the head.
note: in this instance, the ###### = crazy, and/or just about any other negative term you wont to put there. let us decide what we want to see or not see. especially in our own fleets or in private chats.
mind you, DB, all your hash-tagging, IS Spam. and even your own company name is hash-tagged
disruptorbeam, disruptor beam, even if broke on multiple lines. single letters, it doesn't matter. next thing you know your going to be hashing out any thing not in your own custom dictionary.
let us turn it off. if we are offended let us turn it on for our selves.
let us choose instead of ramming down our throats,
we, the players, are the ones paying for all this aren't we.

Typing 802 + (278-813) returns correct
Typing 802 + (278 - 813) returns ### # #### # ####
What?
EDIT: Cleared, thank you!
FF This needs to be whitelisted as it is a term that we use often in game.
FF my crew returns correct
FF that crew returns correct
FF this crew returns ## #### crew
Please and thank you for fixing this one.
Autistic returns ########
I am autistic return correct
My son is autistic returns correct
He is autistic returns ## ## ########
I will note:
He has autism returns correct
Autism returns correct
Weirdly blocked words like this are the source of much confusion!
EDIT: Cleared, thank you!
Not to worry, you can still FF everything!
That's right, not only pitch was censored, but YOUR.
I can't tell if it is the maker of the filter or whoever is administering it but I really am getting beyond frustrated with this MFS.
When you have a change that has massive end user frustration, you back out the change and try again later after doing some more actual alpha and beta testing.
And no matter what y'all say you did or didn't do, this demonstrates a real lack of detailed testing and more spaghetti against the wall deployment. Any actual QA time devoted on this was obviously wasted and as effective as little or no time devoted.
Do you have to whitelist Websters or something? I mean really. How about a whitelist of all pronouns to start. I mean really, PRONOUNS.
Of course, your by itself comes up clean but with pitch its bad. And Pitch is somehow censored by itself.
Get this thing back in your test environment where it belongs and run some real words in there other than "Duuuuude I tested".
C'mon they even say BUTT during the PBS Kids shows. I know I just dealt with my toddler laughing her lil BUTT off when it was said several times on the air.
