Opt Chat Filter

[Iknay]

I know about three to four people who would love to play on this server. However, all of them seemed hesitant when they heard that vulgarity is allowed in Roleplay. I remembered playing on a different server where they had a chat filter that you can turn off and on so when people swear, you can read it if it's off, or not if your filter is on.

The only drawback that I'm aware of is that it takes away some of the authenticity from people who have the filter on. People who have the filter off, however, can still listen to their own character, or another character, swear.

Any one have any thoughts on this?

Ignoring the tech work that would go involved, I wouldn't see an issue with a filter that was optional.

At present since that will not be coming anything soon, you could ignore the players in question afaik. Swearing when done correctly adds strong emotions to dialogue. Using it willy nilly makes you come off as a dirtbag that nobody likes, which ultimately will kill the swearer's reputation in the short and long run.

Granted I'm in a rp scene where swearing isn't acceptable as proper dialogue (despite it still happening buy /shrug) but that's all I can say. I'm in favor of a filter for those who would want it, but I would have mine off because I don't care and probably knew most of the sailor's dictionary since I was 12.

Swearing isn't prolific enough in roleplay to warrant tech work.

Click to shrink...

people literally yell and scream Da F Word constantly... i think it may be necessary given the platform and age range of the server? i personally dont care but the amount of times people say it is notable, maybe not in your circle but in others yes
