So a few of my "Kin" and love to discuss things such as this and I could not think of a better place to post this (and Darq kinda told me I had to anyway).

Have you come accross any "unusual" words that are blocked by the profanity filter? Im not talking about the obvious ones mind...I'm pretty sure we all know those are blocked and why (With one exception, the big F word is not censored /shrug)...but I'm referring to other words...that make no sense in being blocked, here are some examples:

Crack
Suck
Bible

Weed (uh..Pipe-weed is a product but I guess the devs dont think of that)
Poo
WTF
STFU
Alla


Please submit your submissions and I will keep the list up to date, as I would love to make this thread longer and find out what other "Vile Filth" were not allowed to speak in-game.

***IMPORTANT NOTES*** Yes you can turn off the profanity in the game by going to Options>Chat> and unchecking "Profanity Filter", Also the word "Bible" may no longer be censored...apparently Patience has lost his and there are quite a few people that keep bugging the Admins over at this site HERE if you want to read the full and original post.

I tried naming my Hobbit 'HoneySUCKle' and it wouldn't let me.

I can't believe they censored "wtf" and "stfu", they are only letters and could mean anything. :(

It turbine game and can set the filter to what ever they want and i beleive there is a way to turn it off like any other MMO so i wondering why all the complaining about. Beside I believe people that type out a cuss word is childish and selfish becauce they do not care who they might offend. I can not see poo being filter thou but the others words I understand why.

Yes, you can turn it off, and yes you can still be suspended for saying them even though people CHOSE to be able to see them by having the filter off. I think that is part of the reason people are "complaining" though like was said, this thread is just to point out some of the more silly ones.

In my original post i clearly stated how to turn the filter off...and this thread was not meant as a complaint in any means...I could care less whats censored and what isnt as long as I have the ability to turn on/off the filter...but this thread is just simply a compendum of words that ARE censored that shouldnt be...so please if you have nothing usefull to add, go get your post count up somewhere else

It was so supposed to be all in good fun. I don't think anyone here was discussing **** **** ***** ***, no need to get panties in a wad. We were bored waiting on release and were having a fun chat over it. Sorry I suggested you post it Dyadem. [:sad:]

I think the filter blocks anything that may be related to swearing, drugs, derogatory comments and religious stuff as well:

Crack - Drug/Sexual term
Suck - Sexual or degrading term
Bible - religious
Weed - Drugs (despite been used in the books)
Poo - bodily function (sexual in some cases if your that way inclined)
WTF - What The F**K <- swearing
STFU - Shut The F**K Up <- again swearing involved
Alla - Religious

I do find some of the filters a bit strange though - apparently Sirend is banned according the name filter thing yet Dildobaggins slipped through easily enough. Maybe they're been a little over-zealous.

I have the profanity filter off so I don't have anything to worry about. I love it when people ask you not to swear in-game. Wouldn't be a problem if they would stop trying to be idealists and just turn the filter back on.

Pipeweed is tobacco. I believe the slang term 'weed' was used to refer tobacco, especially cigars, rather than marijuana at the time Tolkein was writing.

I don't know if you knew that, but there seem to be a lot of people under the misconception.

Ah yes, very true. Still, shows that the makers are thinking of the phrase in a modern context rather than the old meaning.

You sure about that? I mean, I'm not trying to sound like the typical pothead screaming 'LOL NAW MAN I BET TOLKEIN SMOKED MAN HE PUT IT IN THERE ITS REALLY WEED' or something, but really... I mean was it ever implied that it was really tobacco?

Edited, Apr 25th 2007 4:32pm by noopzilla


Well with how often they smoked it in the books, and the fact they still remained the same and didn't go all loopy, i'd say that while it may not be said straightup, it was tobacco not modern-day weed.

I tried to name one of my characters 'Vanguard, but instead of a 'that name is taken' message, i got a warning from the profanity filter. Made me laugh!
Then again, the naming filter allows such names as Cheesypoof and Cunntobawbaggor, both of which are a little worse than Vanguard (the name, not the game!) in my opinion.

I hope in future expansions we never have to try and organise a raid to the Crack of Doom.
LFM &*%^$ of Doom! OMG i'm banned!

I can see where they are coming from. Lord of the Rings is rich in storyline and it seems this game is really focused on RPing. I like that about it. I didn't see any RP specific channels, so it looks like they are just integrating it all over? I will turn my profanity filter off though, but, it is interesting to know what they block. Nice post. Smiley: clap
