If the kids are under age they have higher chance of hurting themselves versus young adults 18 + because they know to ignore it. I don't know.

    Ok so I have read this post a numerous time and I think to a certain degree I can translate it

    "Can I be honest?- I think at this point just remove the censor filter. But it should also serve as a reminder for young kids to all the bad in this generation. In fact, it is late to take action in regards to filtering people, as they curse on a continual basis. As well as people will always find loopholes to the censor filter .-. If I had to be honest, even I curse all the time. Maybe just remove the censor filter altogether? But when people begin to report toxic individuals, admins should jail them, in fact for cyberbullying in general. But as I said again, people will always find loopholes. Maybe hire a bunch of staff or people in general, under cover with powers, for bullying situations. However, of course, I personally believe there should be a limit to this power and it should not exceed this limit. Kids generally have a higher chance of hurting themselves through toxic interaction, as compared to young adults; 18 +, due to the fact they recognise to ignore it. I don't know… I am willing to message you more information but yeh ..."

    @Everyone

    Gather sentences that you type out whether it be grammatically correct or not that had given you the "No swearing!" notification. Would be a big help. Cheers.

    Wake up and smell the burning gas, m8. Era's already toxic. 3/4 of the people in jail are there due to Vulgarity, Racism, or sexual harassment.

    My suggestion (and many others): Make an optional swear filter that's on when you start the game as a new player, but can be turned off later in the options menu. The filter will cause rude words that are censored now to appear as asterisks (**). the Asterics are Client-side.

    It'll take lots of time and effort, but it's for the betterment of free speech and eliminating inconveniences.

    The thing is, Ol West did that and the one time I did play was a very negative experience. I was even getting bullied by a developer, like wtf? I think there would be consequinces created by doing that.

    Personally i want it to be removed.
    but for the sake of younger audience atleast make it an option just like on Ol'West so us older players can spell a proper sentence correctly without having something get censored.

    I personally doubt that they'd give the option to turn on and turn off the swear filter, but I can see them doing the old censor filter for sure. Dunno really, it's up to them on how to approach the issue.


    I'm going to edit my main post of sentences that are censored out, every while. Hmu with those sentences fam.

    I wouldn't have thought we'd ever have a server that would have an optional swear filter- as the game is designed to be rated for 12+ and to me that seems contradictory to maintaining that age rating.
    However Ol'West did it so i don't see why iera can't- it's up to the manager to weigh up whether it's possibly worth risking punishment from app stores over it though if the game gets checked (i don't know how these things work)

    I don't mean to bash Ol West but I think Era is doing better than Ol West. The optional swear filter was turned off for me because I believe in freedom of speech. I dropped that because everyone was abusing the system. It wasn't like that, it was kinda toxic for me. The entire player base would start acting like those airport gangs. lol. Bet.
