Accepted Chat Filter

[Recker]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove​

Adds to the server a filter on anything in chat that revolves around:

• Slurs - Homophobic, Racial, or other severely derogatory.
• Sexual Talk - Such as the word "cum", etc.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?​

Surprisingly not.

Possible Positives of the suggestion​

I think that the positives are pretty self-explanatory. Less toxicity, less chance of NSFW content being put in chat, etc.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion​

None!

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted​

I think that this should be accepted as I've noticed an upward trend lately of people being overly toxic in OOC and this would kinda just remove some of the un-needed stuff from chat. Instead of seeing someone say the hard R we'd just see something like "(OOC) "Recker": ******". Also a word filter should be relatively super easy to do. All you really need to do is find the chat function and use a for loop to check for blacklisted words and do a string replace for the said words.

People will just loophole it, making it useless. Would stop some folks though I’m sure.
