Chat System Anomalies - Disecting the flaws.

Added "for some" and "get some" - ironically, "four some" and "got some" go through just fine in open chat.

Can use me doesn't go through I believe.

"I can use another gunner" does not go through. Wow.

That's because what you should say is " I could use another gunner. "

Try ' be your' Ed. It filters it for me.

Yup, added it; thank you. That one, I can at least understand - it must be a popular (annoying/problematic) phrase on tugabassa.

[Dog Firestack]

Ok found another one. 'But it' filtered me, I'm not sure if it will for you.
EDIT: I found aonther it's 'Dog is'

[Dog Firestack]

Hey ed did you ever try but it or Dog is?

I've hit a series of mishaps - all Disney's fault (e.g. unbelievable lag, plus 3 to 30 second game freezes, even after significant hardware upgrades, playing a single pirate only, not even double pirating; no other applications nor non-OS services running - even windows explorer terminated.) Apparently someone must have tried "improving game performance" some more.

I'll try verifying those (and others) again tomorrow.

[Edward Edgemenace]

Added a bunch more. Trying to describe a particular British accent, ****ney, filters the entire line (understandable to filter IT but not the entire line.)

"Use right mouse to pan the camera" filters, why?

"Back up the ship" filters, why?

"Take me to Tortuga please" filters, why?

"Take off your hat indoors" filters, why?

More to come, shortly.

Not sure which part of this sentence got filtered, but, when I was explaining a book I was reading to a friend, the sentence " He made her the head mistress " got filtered.

I think it was mistress it means lover.

Thanks. In the OP, I said,

In all chat modes, there is a primary-level filter that prevents blatant obscenities, from going through. Entering that in a chat line, prevents the line from going through and displays a warning on the person's screen, warning them that their account standing is in jeopardy. Further such attempts give sterner warnings. Ignoring those can automatically block an account.

The "short list" of bad words is actually quite short - about a dozen words and maybe 5 dozen variations of them. Since most of those same terms are censored here, there is no reason to try listing those here. Furthermore, those give a perfectly clear warning.

Of interest to me (and the purpose of this thread) is to identify the "mystery" terms, that give no warning whatsoever, that DO give an indication the chat went through, when in fact, the server side filter eats the entire line of text.

Forgive me if someone's posted similar, I skimmed and didn't see it but could have been overlooked. Anyways, the word 'bit' used to never go through for me. (Stopped using it altogether unless I know I'm around Open chat peeps.) All I'm wanting to say is "Turn the ship a bit to the left" or "A bit further", something stupid like that. =/
