Chat problems - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Anne Chiphazzard · #1 11-15-2008, 02:37 AM

I have noticed that, when talking to other pirates in whisper and crew esp., text sent from the other person is not always showing up. It shows up on their chat so they assume it was sent but not on mine. This is causing a great deal of confusion on both ends because if I'm asked a question that I never see, the other person assumes it is going unanswered. I'm just wondering if anyone else had the same problem. I know that I'm in open chat and I don't have the cross on. Thanks for reading!!!!

This happened to me just now lol. Someone was whispering to me and I never got their question.

This is not a bug, if you read the House rules it says " We hold the right to block messages if we deem them inappropriate "

Yep, i just re-type or change a few words in it and then press enter.

Well i guess Disney is getting stricter on what can go through whisper, crew, guild, and privateer chat.

Especially whisper.

Now that it's specified, I have had that problem lately. In my opinion, Disney loves control....

Well can you blame them though?

You have to keep in mind this is a Disney game, and they have alot of kids that play the game, and at least there trying to keep them safe from creeps.

Good point there, but I mean that some of the stuff that they block aren't even bad. Crazy in my opinion, but I'm willing to put up with it for the kids' sake.

Only problem that I've noticed is that disney often times edits perfectly normal and allowable things but doesn't edit certain offensive material. At least it does that with me. It didn't let me say anytime the other day. Idk if that is a bug but its very frustrating when its normal words.

Go to Abassa for 15 minutes one day, find a person using inappropriate language, go to Abassa the next day, find the same person there.
What I'm saying is that they don't moderate the ones who are really causing issues and yet they punish the ones who are doing nothing. I've seen this discussed I don't know how many times since I joined POF in March and yet I hear nothing from Disney about improving the chat system. I've seen lots of 4 letter words being said in chat before and I always wonder why it's even possible to say them, of course, they were mispelled. It just makes no sense that Disney supposily monitors chat and yet they supposily don't notice all of the things that are oh so close to certain words and these people suffer either no consenquences or soft consenquences. We can only hope that this is a bug...

What Savvy said.....they punish the good and act like they don't see the bad.

How can you say that?

I know ALOT of people who are banned and have been banned from Disney online forever ( i was banned forever because someone hacked into my account and um did things... ) So there not seeing the bad huh?

If they weren't seeing the bad then why have they banned so many people, in my opinion Disney doesn't pay any attention to Abassa anymore, it's a lost battle there to keep it clean...

There will always be " bad " people in the game but Disney is trying there best to stop it, keep in mind this game is not the only thing they have to manage, and that there is probably way to many people to keep track of every conversation...

p.s omg why am i defending Disney????

***Sven Osymthe*** · #14 11-15-2008, 05:19 AM

well I don't mean everything.....I am talking about like on Abassa server (if you see most of the chats going on there). Most people do get away with a lot of stuff but not all.

Not all the time though. Of course, the bad are punished sometimes though. But I'm friends with a lot of people who have said nothing bad at all, or have been falsely reported by some new player who doesn't know what they're doing. That just shows how gullible the Disney suspension system is.
