I can’t even say the word ‘suck’ now. Some words will censor your entire sentence! What is going on?! We are in a game series where soldiers spit profanities and kill other people. Let me turn this nanny system off. I don’t have kids that use my account, I don’t care if someone calls me a name. I feel like I’m playing a loony toons game sometimes with the absurd amount of chat censoring. There is absolutely no reason why a client side option for this system is not available. EDIT: I just had the word “oh” censored in chat. WTF is happening?! ---

I doubt that is going to happen at all. Back in the day during beta tests Dice said it’s possible to make chat filter an optional thing. But nothing has happened after that. ---

It’s not even censoring real offensive stuff. Already saw several people writing antisemitic ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯ in chat without any censoring. ---

But usually it’s those kids who say all kinds of crap. I just wonder why is it such a hard task to make this filter optional? It’s not like we’ve received loads of useful UI and QoL additions recently. ---

The chat filter seems to be broken, it is blanking out entire sentences with \*&^%$#@! even if the player has not typed anything offensive. LOL, ask DICE to fix you a sandwich and they’ll break the kitchen. They really don’t know what is going to happen when a patch goes live. ---

I could write little more about but I would be banned on this forum. They should turn off censor. Also chat “don’t remember” what other players wrote.

Are player’s vocabularies so stunted that they can’t articulate themselves adequately without resorting to naughty words? Realistically though this is not at all about swearing, but it is about abuse and creating, or permitting to be created, a hostile environment. It is the curse of the internet where because people are anonymous it fosters a toxic environment for people to say things with impunity, things they would never say in public, to their parents or in the workplace. Yes, it’s only a very tiny portion of the community and it does impinge on the ability of some people to engage in well-intentioned sledging among friends, but what we have to give up is minor in comparison to the benefit gained from not allowing the petty and the vicious to use a carriage service to harass others. ---

You really need to get off your high horse. What words people use have little impact on their literacy. The whole point of language is to get a point acrost as easily as possible,and if that is an obscenity then so be it. People will still find ways to be “abusive” or “toxic” well enough even with it, as of right now all it’s doing is filtering words that’s flagged for some reason. I had an instance where “Ooh” With two O’s was censored. Is that okay? Blocking communication at all because someone can’t handle reading a word they don’t like? This is a game about war and the killing that comes with it. If cussing is that big a deal for you,you have other problems you need to deal with first ---

To make it worse, they must have recently updated the censor since now I am completely unable to use the chat function since apparently my username contains something they deemed offensive…I can’t believe how regressive they have become. ---

The censor will leap to the defense of the match from evil words like “pillar”. As in “they have a spawn beacon behind the bridge pillar” on Rotterdam. Yeah, this seems like a slightly crazy filter you’ve got here. ---

Mind you that the filter itself is being worked on which means there are people dedicated to it. But simple option to turn it off apparently is not an option. I bet it’s not even on a list of possible additions. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/we-need-a-chat-censor-off-selection-the-censoring-has-gotten-to-ridiculous-levels/106880.md?page=2)
