Why though? Wait what am I saying I know why

Skip to 18:35. You want to see the profanity you’re speaking
I think this is starting to be considered spamming at least come up with an original copy and paste.
Kinda weird you support the chat filter but K.
When it’s in context like here I don’t see a problem
I have absolutely no idea why you'd want the chat filter off.
None at all.
Uh people on my twitch can see what I am typing even with the filter on.
So how is this copy pasta relevant?
You just want to ######### over my thread bro.
But it's cool you're in favor of censorship.
I want it off on my screen.
I'm not saying to remove it for everyone.
Why is it not OPTIONAL?
Imagine defending this dumb ass filter.
I can't even say "freddy killed me"
I’m in favour of censorship when it’s derogatory terms being spouted
It’s relevant because it shows what kind of person you are post game
I want to show people the person in question they are talking to
Im not censoring your thread mate I’m just showing people the twitch channel you’ve also publicly shown
allow me to paraphrase @MandyTalk
they want as much feedback as possible to make it a lot less severe, so it's mandatory for everyone. if enough people ask for it later they'll look into it being optional instead, however with the amount of racist, homophobic remarks that get said in endgame chat i, right now, am perfectly happy not being told to "######### you stupid ######### #########" every three games.
How about just let it be optional.
I don't understand why it's not OPTIONAL
it should have been optional from the start
more than half the survivor names are censored. Nice filter we got here, if only it was optional so I can say survivor names without the censorship
I'm pretty sure that it gets worse the more your swear cause I've been able to say all of them :)
It was already stated that the filter will be adjusted to let character names through.
they are actively working on improving it.
BTW I like how David King is not censored but the „David“ in David Tapp is. They should let that in. Tapp should only be referred to as Tapp.
or you know, just let me turn it off for my screen.
the sad thing is even runescape the filter is optional.
I can swear in runescape but not DBD
go play RuneScape then. I don’t think there would be many people sad about that.
Oml...
Honestly though tony does have his very entertaining moments. I enjoy his streams. I wish tony would stream more though... Tony if you read this stream more. I agree though chat filter needs to go.
I haven't played because I was waiting for the new tome to come out.
Playing against SWF while grinding tomes stresses me out so I take breaks when I finish a whole tome
I'll be on today probably
Damn.. watched the last few mins before that time mark and…
that hurt.
i really hope this was just an act for the viewers..
That's hilarious.
For the OP, I have to agree. They need to improve it or remove it.
Quite tired of typing a normal word like "adam" "myers" "hawkins" "teabag" "meghead" etc and getting it censured. Really difficult to talk at all in end game chat when it censures normal words.
Never knew he had actually streamed. This showcases so well why this guy constantly posts here.
Lord_Tony, you take this game clearly too serious. And no one can win every game. Losses need to be accepted as well.
this is about chat filter
The fact the chat filter isn't an option is what makes it a total joke, not the fact it filters the dumbest ######### imaginable. Imagine being so arrogant you think you can tell other people what they are and are not allowed to read of their own volition.
Never been bothered by it - I have chat turned off because it serves no purpose.
My experience with EGC was basically people with low IQs who resorted to racist and homophobic comments.
In 6 months I posted around 400 Tweets of screenshots of the moronic comments in EGC. The funny part is that some of those people tried reporting me to BHVR for pointing out their racist and homophobic comments on Twitter LOL.
I’d love a chat filter for your forum posts, but unfortunately we don’t always get what we want in life.
And that’s on WHAT?
I don't even think they were a SWF.
It wasn't even that hard of a game either.
I agree. It's really obnoxious on how in a game that is 16+ and is about killing people, with gore and even swear words in game, we get treated like we're all 12.
with how this community acts almost all the time can you blame them for treating us like we're 12?
When I am 27, yes I can blame them by treating the older players like they're children.
Me, remembering the 2 people who have called me slurs TONIGHT.
I've been called slurs as well. There's a BIG difference between calling someone a slur and using swear words like a lot of the ones who are censured also on the forums.
I'm glad you're 27 and responsible. When the majority of the community (on steam at least) still think its acceptable to call people the f-slur, n-slur, t-slur, and love to tell people to go commit die in far less eloquent ways, its unfortunate for you but they're treating the community as the majority act.
Like petulent children.
Being 27 and acting 27 are two different things. I’ve had grown ass men messaging me to ask if I wanted to meet up to have a fight because I beat them in a game.
A lot of the time it’s actually the teenagers who are the ones acting mature. 😬
Ya right dude, only the teens they experience is going to cause drama, start a fight, and even watching something that you don't wanna know what's inside their keep little minds, I need to shut up because I'm a older teen and i'm close to a young adult 😂
Yes. BHVR isn't mom or dad. They're a company who made a video game people play. I fully understand why they would make an end game filter. I'm all for people having that option if they want it. But, it should be optional.
Personally, I say my ggs and go the majority of the time. So, it's possible I don't see the worst most of the time. Even still, give people the option and move on.
And I've had 14 years old calling me slurs. Generalizations are always wrong.
I didn’t generalise though? I never said that every teenager is a saint. I said ‘A LOT’ of the time, not every time. My point was, is that being older doesn’t prove any point. As the adults can be just as bad and at times worse than what the younger people are saying.
So yes, you might be an adult but the chat filter was put in place because of the many people who don’t know how to act like a civilised human being.
If people are unable to have a conversation post-game without using profanity, doesn’t that say more about those individuals than the filter itself? 😬
I'm on steam and currently have 4.283 hours. I can count on my hands how many times I've been called slurs and been told to die.
Slurs and telling people to die and get diseases should be censured, but a lot of curse words should not.
If Ash can say a curse word in the lobby, and some addons have curse words in their description, I don't think players should be censured of those as well.
One of the clown addon names is censured both here, discord and in game chat. Shouldn't that addon name be changed instead of punishing players who use the same word?
If you'd read the thread, or use the chat more often, you'd see it's not only "profanity" that is censured. A lot of survivor names and map names are censured. Myers is censured.
Are names profanity? No.
And this game has profanity in itself. Addon descriptions, Ash in the lobby. Should Ash be censured when saying it in the lobby too? The game warns people of strong language and graphics when you buy it.
Sluzzy alt
I’ve seen plenty of other people have no issues with random words being censored though? I’ve also read that the more profanity you use, the more the chat will start to censor words that don’t warrant it.
So what IS the truth?
The Truth is that names shouldn’t be censured but they are :)
Interesting cause I've managed to say all of them
If you’d read all the other threads, you’d see it is inconsistent and it censures randomly. Is everyone else in the forums, Reddit etc lying then?
There was a thread made when the chat filter first went into effect and people were complaining that things like ‘Myers’ were censored. BUT other forum members debunked this and posted their own screenshots without anything being censored. It was later revealed that the people constantly using profanity were being given harsher censors which resulted in words that weren’t actually offensive being blocked.
So I’m pretty sure if you have a reputation for constantly using adult language, you’re going to find more and more words being blocked as the chat filter views you as having a bad reputation. 👀
It's being Sluzzy for me.
I barely use end game chat, so maybe you should make less assumptions and play the game more. The chat is inconsistent and it has been proven before. It seems like you’re not here to discuss how the chat censures normal names and are here just to be overly offended and make assumptions about me
Hi please refer to the many many other posts from other members including myself where its made clear that the more you curse the harsher the filter is. Or are we all just lying across the forums, twitter, Reddit, etc?
