I know sometimes we just need to express our feelings with light swearing, but having guests repeatedly throw F*** back and forth is a sight I can barely stand.  Could we have a filter that only blocks out, well, the eff word, racist remarks and other vulgarities? :P

Curse words are hardcore. Saying them alot means you're tough.
ZZ, to me you're nothing but one incredibly smokin' hott, built up, knowledgable hunk of man. And yes, I hope you put this in your sig too.

Give me a chat block then,  because I don't want to hear it. (or read it)

same with me. I kick such people out of the game on sight (or after warning). But I canot be online always :(   Probably I'll give moderator right to some people.
Writting chat filter is too much work, it not 100% effective.

Right now I don't consider it as TOO big issue. People who do it are mostly casual players, coming very seldom. I don't want to waste my time programming language filter because of few half-idiots. Please try to ignore them and don't get upset. It's hard, I know :/

If this game ever become bigger, I will think about this problem seriously. Again, right now I'm trying just to ignore idiots.

I guess this is why most people here hate shizmoo.  :o

Couldn't this chat filter be "copied" into any games you make, if they have a chat feature (Hint: your aspiration of a MMORPG  ;) )

I dont understand the problem with language. I doubt we need a filter bcuz sometimes i just need to express my feelings as they come. Hawk, you've played games with me and i think u heard me shouting vulgar words like f*** or s*** because of bad calls by the game like my spider being killed by a slime warior or something. I say the words but not directly at a player because they is being rude to me and I dont like that but I mean there has to be a way to express yourself just as if you were sitting right next to me and playing each other. (Sorry if you guys cant understand some of my grammar)  ;)

You know, it doesn't really matter how do you mean it, because it offends people anyway. (it also offends me). So try to express your feelings in some other way

I remember a game I used to play with an amusing swear filter.

If you said a word on the banned list, then your chat msg would say something like: 'I'm a naughty boy, spank me!', or 'I have a potty mouth!'

matlu

probably simpliest solution could be to add "mute" button, so anybody can turn off the chat if it's too offending for him

Bakster

Ignore feature.
