Disney focuses very much on their moderating, but, many of the things that get filtered are PERFECTLY fine to say. " We were " gets filtered? That's funny, it doesn't get filtered for me, but I have seen it get filtered for others, and they would have to separate their sentence so I would get the message. " We were ranking. " Um, yeah, that's a good sentence to filter /sarcasm.
Disney is slowly ruining their chat system, and sooner or later it will be nearly impossible to just talk about something in the game or ask questions. " Can you take me to Tortuga?" Filtered. For only some users, though. Yes, it does seem VERY likely that Disney does target certain accounts for more "extreme" monitoring.

Why is this? I would understand if the person has violated the terms of use recently, but, me, I haven't had an account violation for well over a year now. And yet, I still find sometimes, I am HEAVILY filtered, and my chat coming up VERY late from the time I entered it (Usually means FILTERING. My internet is great, thank you.)

Yes, and this may also be the reason why certain users are given violations for UNKNOWN reasons or UNFAIR reasons. For the unfair reasons, like talking about a weapon, (Yes, people have been suspended for talking about in-game weapons.) It is like the people who are moderating DO NOT play the game at all. So, perhaps the reason why my friend was suspended for saying her other character's name ( which was a perfectly piratey name ) was because the moderators DO NOT have knowledge of the game, they just look at the chats and decide whether to suspend or not. For the unknown violations given, that sounds like Disney changing their rules as they go along (which did happen.) Yet, we do not know if the moderators are HUMAN or not. (May just be a machine.) Maybe a more safe way to moderate a game is to actually get people to CHECK these things. It would be Disney's fault if someone didn't have test server because of an unfair violation that occurred. And even the violations that are pulled back due to the account contacting live chat, it will STILL count in guild competitions (In the first guild competition, the majority of members could NOT have violations, and the guildmaster could not have had a severe violation.) AND against test server sign ups.

For the sake of the chat system for this game, it sounds like Disney needs to pull things together. Their moderating is all over the place and is not executed fairly and equally to everyone. It does sound like abuse is going on here.
( Sorry if this seemed harsh.)
