"Clam" is censored because it is also slang for a female body part.

its also a harvestable creature in this game and a quest item.

snatch is censored i found out. I said something along the lines of "set it to sequential if you dont like that i just snatch up all the drops" and everyone was like "if you WHAT all the drops?"

True, but I highly doubt that the name of a quest item will be filtered out. Its filtration is most likely based on the fact that its slang version has a more...mature definition, if you will.

Psh, this isn't a problem for me. Because I don't swear? Hell no. xD
Why then? If you link words together, they go through. (Forgive me if someone already posted. Way too lazy to check.)

Heh, yeah, this was something I learned about in FlyFF. If you extend the letters, add spaces, combine words, etc., you can bypass the filter. One thing I loved in a game I once played, and for the life of me I can't remember the name but there are a few, was having the ability the toggle the swear filter. I like to swear...a LOT, and most of the people I play with do too. It gets rather annoying when you have to try and figure out what your friend is saying.

If this is so, then how come hotdog isn't censored? Wait, maybe it is, I'll have to check it out.

Anyway I agree, I think the censor on a whole is poorly done. Sometimes I go to say common words, and my sentence comes out looking like I have a sailor mouth, I realize the game is free to play however, and there are a ton of more important bugs to be fixed, but it wouldn't hurt to revise the censor when they have some spare time... which will probably be never.

Hmm agreed, though it hsould only take like 10-15 minutes honestly. xD I think they need more staff, especially since they're hosting two games now.

omg you stoleded my idea off msn! or.. were inspired by my thickness, rather. >_>

anyways! I think a solution to this would be to allow turning censor on and off on the user's end. A system like that is in place on other (commercial I might add) MMORPGs, so why do they have to forcefeed us these *****s here? Especially when the censor is stupid enough to completely censor words like "mass" just because they happen to have "ass" as part of them. *foreheadslap*
