I was just able to swear several times without being censored. Should this be so?

Edit: Yeah, I just swore. Maybe the update wiped the censored word database?

Gender Neutral, meaning I don't want to be specified to either gender. If you keep calling me by gender terms, I'm just going to call you an "it". That's all.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

obscenities

Hm.

Seems to be broken.

At least we can replace them with more sensible, perhaps, dialed back censors? I didn't like how b**** turned into b*** or how "whore" turned into "lovely lady". It was silly.

Yeah lovely lady is dum because what if I wanted to tell someone I thought they were a lovely lady? They'd think I was calling them a whore.

Thanks for the feedback. I have logged this with ZB and will see what they say.

Please note that in the meantime swearing will lead to being warned - while some leniency will be applied due to this error you still need to behave ;)

What will you do when you get old?

I don't even see why JPN is censored anyway. Sure, there's the slang version meaning Jewish American Princess, but nobody ever really uses it in that context, ever. It's short for Japanese person, just like Brit is short for British, Scot for Scotsman, American for United States of American (lol maybe that one's a stretch), and so on.

IIRC, it was a bit of a controversial choice, but 'JPN' can be used as a slur for Japanese people.

Anything can be used as a derogatory term if given the proper context, in fact I've seen American used as a derogatory term quite a bit, and a few times on this board but that's not censored or considered a slur against Americans. I've never seen anyone use JPN as a slur for Japanese people, but I've seen the term for a piece of your armor having a dent in it used.

Yeah but that has historical context for being used as a slur against Japanese people. Same as shortening Pakistani is racist but shortening British isn't. Context is important.

The shortening of Japanese to "JPN" is unique in that while many Japanese people may find it offensive, theirs a fair amount of people that don't. Its one of those things that is more taken offense in Japan and more traditional Japanese places. The term still holds some negative connotations from WW 2, but at the same time, people who would use the term would probably not be using it in that way today. But I digress, to be conservative I would lean to remain censoring it since that's what likely Japanese people would prefer.

well filter is back up but you know what I originally meant by shortening of Japanese.
