Feature Request: Profanity Filter

[m5NOVA]

Is it possible to have code put similar to EQLive that filters out profanity? The code could reference a text file or work straight off a variable in the database or come from the client.

[Lurker_005]

I could be wrong, but I thought that was client side (and thus already there), and referanced a text file in your EQ dir.

Try /filter in game, it should be working

[kathgar]

That thar be clientside!

[daeken_bb]

Why the fuck do you need some goddamn profanity filter anyway?

What a piece of shit waste of our time!

Lets go farther, what about a translator which could translate words like dr00d by druid, l33t by loot...? translations being in the database of course

[dcl]

I believe l33t is actually 'leet' as in 'elite'

[Muuss]

ah huh, u see, i m so used to these 'words' that i dont even try to understand if they really mean something... l33t as elite confirms my opinion hehe

[dcl]

The one I never could figure out is w00t

[Muuss]

I do that noise sometimes when i eat to many beans...

W00t = woot = root
Root access is godmode in linux and unix systems, and may also be a term used in Windows. Having root is like having ecstacy.

W00t = ecstacy over having complete control of something

[dcl]

ah... I never made the w00t/root connection.... that makes sense (I guess)

[a_Guest03]

Woot just sounds smoother. When I played eqemu, my guild use a butchered and bastardised version of the word. They used the term "woto".

I like the sound of woto.

glad of that skilled language hlep, hehe... my guild was using hlep instead of help cause one of our charismatic chantys has been caught running naked in WW with a dog behind him and shouting 'HLEP ME !'
