> [@Braddock512](#): > > Appreciate the constructive feedback dropped here and there in this thread. > > Reality is - this is a learning filter that is being rolled out through more EA titles. > > -Braddock512 If it’s the same kind of learning filter that FairFight is supposed to use I can see where it goes wrong. Statistics aren’t everything. And at this point, machine learning is mostly about statistics and patterns. (for example a day 1 cheater going 100-0 every match is considered normal since he doesn’t deviate from his pattern) I do wonder what kind of checks are in place for the chat filter though. I mean “Sniper” is not an offensive word. No matter how you turn it. So what makes the chat filter pick it up as offensive in the first place? ---

@EA_Tom @Braddock512 why has the chat filter starter blocking people from using chat with a gamertag that has been in use sing BF1942 ? My gamertag -1xThugx1- does not let me use in game chat. ---

So. From the looks of it, we’re just going to be SoL until the next patch shows up? And thats if the filter is even fixed? ---

And they got a broken chat filter working before they even worried about and anticheat software to work for the game. Got to love their hard work. ---

Also considered a slur here in the UK, Even though it’s use barely makes it into any kind of conversation. But yeah, I’ve often seen that slur used in chats where there are a lot of Americans, Such as in IRC channels back in the late 90’s to the mid noughties. ---

Then dont put things in the game that can be a racial slur then. If “Jig” is a word in game we should be able to say it too. Just due to the reason me and my friend tried to tell someone we enjoyed playing with to join our squad, but we couldnt due to “bad word”, crazy Jig can be in game if its a part of a racial slur… SMH We should be able to talk about squad names, objectives names, tank names, weapon names etc etc without have it beeing cencored due to it could be a bad word or be a part of a bad word, dont defend that we cant say it. ---

There probably is a whitelist. The whitelist however does not contain all the words it optimally should hence why the EA people asked for instances where their filter catches something it shouldn’t. In any case, unless you actually have sources for the whitelist not existing then please don’t spread misinformation. ---

If there was “whitelist”, the game wouldn’t have to filter random harmless words related to gameplay. So I thought it was safe to assume there is no such thing.
