I remember ye-olden days...
"Nice shoes!"
"Let's play again on Saturday!"
"I can play as loud as I want in the basement!"
The scunthorpe problem always made me giggle
Dark Souls (2?) blocked "Knight"
Elden ring blocked the nig in the middle of knight. That always got an eye roll from me.
There's that one game that censored "Nasser" to "Ner" which made it much worse.
"People who annoy you"
The depth of the stupidity of that is incredible to me.
You even get invaded by NPCs with "forbidden words" in their names. Checking whether you own game violates your criteria should be sanity check number one.
Invaded by Recusant Tanith's Knight! -> works, it's an NPC
Invaded by Recusant Dark K***ht Richter! -> Ugh.
And since those people keep their names like that, presumably they can't even tell that their name is being ruined by the game. An extra layer of stupidity.
At least with stupid chat moderation, you can see your messages, so you know how your messages are being ruined and you can adapt to it.
RuneScape originally replaced censored words with "cabbage" so a rude message may read "cabbage off newb!" And honestly I feel like that's the best way to implement a child friendly censor
The thrive community forums did it with the word belgium, inspired by the work of Douglas Adams
The funny part is that they set up the detection for "hoe" wrong. "Ho" is the insult; "hoe" is a garden tool. Even jeopardy knows it.
