Change the chat filter to not autocorrect to 'escort'

Change the chat filter to not autocorrect to 'escort'

Postby plusle007 » Sat Apr 09, 2016 7:04 am

I just played a ranked game as a jailor where someone claimed lookout, then called me a 'kunt' which appeared through the chat filter as 'escort'. As this appeared as if they were unsure of their role claim, I executed them when they were actually a lookout. Having these words auto correct to a ingame role only creates confusion especially when the chat filter is on by default, so I suggest they are auto corrected to something else that is not directly related to the gaame.

Yeah, this needs to be changed. That is actually a game changing fuck-up on the filter's part.

Well, I mean, if he was actually just calling you that would you have not executed him?

I mean, from what he said, it sounds like it was based off the two role claims instead of the name calling that got the person executed.

Surprised noone said "Just turn the filter off," yet.

/support. Pretty sure I've brought this up in the past, too. There's really no reason to have the filter use game roles/terms as censors. There are plenty of other fun "slut" terms the filter could utilize.

Here's a quick list:

-wench
-trollop
-strumpet
-harlot
-tart

All of which, imo, are much more fun and salem-y than "escort" anyway.

Harlot would be my choice of those. It was used a ton in the Crucible* :P

Alrighty, it seems there is some support behind this, and I could see how it would be confusing. I will let Josh know.

I never use the filter, but Harlot is a cool word

I thought it would be cute to have it say escort but I can see it is causing gameplay problems. Going to change it to "harlot" instead. Fixing this now. Thanks for the feedback guys :)
