Chat System Anomalies - Disecting the flaws.

[Dan_OB]

I believe that Disney uses a white list as the main device to control what words are used. What I mean by this is that they have a list of acceptable words and words that are not on it are flagged. Thats why so many innocent words get flagged, like "bit" or "poet". I remember reading that you could send Disney suggestions for words to add to the white list.

Not to be cynical or anything but the primary purpose of this censoring is to protect Disney from legal problems. If it protects kids too all the better.

BTW, I don't believe Disney has ever explicitly and publicly stated a target age range for the game so we really don't know. I do believe that it is intended, like the movies, to be "fun for the whole family" . How well they are achieving that is subject for debate.

Once again a very instructive post Edward. Many thanks!
