Why is "scroll" an evil word???

[Jontas]

Huh?
That was:

 

[rabidfox]

An over active profanity filter that only cares about the first 4 letters of that word.

I started a thread about this a while back.

Best you can do is turn off the profanity filter.

I am sorry to say, but I am still stumped.

The wrinkly loose skin that hangs outside the body between the legs of males which houses two round organs that produce the biological components to mix into a thick fluid utilized in reproduction. (did I describe it without using bad words? I hope so *shrugs*)

I think. maybe? probably. I'm honestly not completely sure. I think the filter is overbearing and stupid tbh.

Load of old bollocks if you ask me. ??

is "roll" censored? I had heard years ago that scroll was in the list because roll was drug-related.

Nope.

Forgive my ignorance of the language, but is scro an insult? I have never heard it (although I have no experience outside of the formal language, to be honest)

Not as far as I'm concerned. It's shorthand for a part of male anatomy. If not for the filter and people having figure out scro was the part being blocked then I wouldn't even be aware of the existance of that usage. It's fairly laughable that it's filtered.

ah I see. But if it's because of this, the filter is really bad. In any case, it should filter the word, not the first part of the word that is shared by many others.

Although censoring that word seems a bit exaggerated, we are not in the Victorian age...

I agree lol

Thanks for the explanation.

Here I thought it had to do with being another word for "joint" or its relation to hazing/fraternity "culture". Regardless, it's really frustrating when trying to suggest/direct someone to the quest "Dread Sea Scrolls" and having it censored. -_-:

It's an issue with the way regular expressions are implemented. This example has been brought up countless times on the forum. It's not getting fixed. Ironically, disabling your profanity filter is the workaround.

 

[seph1roth5]

It's incredibly stupid when words used IN THE GAME are censored lol, like penetration.

That filter needs a deep review, and those who design it need to stop thinking that we are in the Victorian era.
