Regex filter is used in bfv i think, it would explain random non offensive words or a string of specific words triggering it ---

EA/DICE wants a profanity filter, fair enough. But then stick to filtering offensive words. Getting stars when typing “but”, “sniper”, “mate” and other ordinary words is taking censorship too far IMO. (but is probably censored to prevent ppl from typing butt, and mate has a double meaning. But still) ---

Because filteting every third word is dumb and makes people question the sanity of those who’s in charge of this filter. ---

@PartWelsh replied to a threat on Reddit about this. He says they changed the filtering code this last update but that they never meant for ordinary words such as do, but, mean etc. to get filtered. He will talk to the devs about it. ---

“shine” is also filtered cause apparently it the same as “go die” in Japanese if one uses latin letters… . The chat filter needs to be binned to the thrash. People can still swear just fine by misspelling on purpose anyway. . Meanwhile the most disrespectful thing one can say after winning a round is not filtered anyway. . I have no use for such a filter. . PS: > [@VOLBANKER](#): > > The word “mate” is censored after the latest update. > So you can’t say: What’s up mate. Let me guess, it is because the filter associates it with mating ---
