The Chat filter is out of control

@SirBobdk

Yesterday one said I was using aimbot in plane
I wrote “ cmon 12-1 in plane = aimbot“
It came out as “** plane = aimbot” Rofl.

If you say “Rise and Shine” it will come out as “Rise and *”

So we can expect a future where people will not be able to taunt others with “ez” at the end of the round?That would be appreciated..In these games it is not an f word or another cuss word that will get people the most riled up but things that question or belittle their skill and efforts

Hmm unsure… I see people declaring ez and they lost the round lok

They usually do that to humiliate their own teammates and claim that their team was really bad and didn’t resist at all.

Or they’re just that thick they see others saying it and also say it.

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.

This is the reason behind the avatar afterall. I feel that I am constantly facepalming at things related to BFV

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?

[1xThugx1]

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.

The thing is, normal English spelling would end the word with a K.

Depends on region though, There is US English and UK English.

Like there is different spellings for certain words, e.g Color / Colour

One spelling may look out of place vs the other region’s version of spelling the same word.

True, but that ugly slur is an American slur.

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.

“Join Squad Jig” translate “Join squad ***”

Really? Dosent matter what your filter is doing, it should not block words thats in game!

EDIT: I understand its self learning but you need to have some control over it, how is it otherwise when you take away words it have been blocking? Can it block it again if it like or is that word whitelisted now so it never block it again? If so, take control and make sure it dosent block words that make US your customer to complain about stuff like this for a product we played for. Its frustrating to even have to report something like this.

The team behind the bot needs to work for a solution to this and the self learning aspect have clearly failed due to some wierd word is getting blocked.

Crazy as the word in question is used as part of a racial slur.

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.

Pretty sure I said it was crazy…

This is probably a consequence of using for the squad names what is probably the era relevant phonetic alphabet instead of the modern ICAO radio-telephonic alphabet in which J would be Juliet

The issue here is the fact that the system has “blacklist” of forbidden words and phrases but the same time “whitelist” of important words does not exist.

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. Unless some of community managers proves my assumptions wrong.

You should not assume, especially not with weak reasoning like that. I just got it confirmed by EA - there is a whitelist. Now stop spreading misinformation, please.

“clan” is the new word I found being filtered.
