Why does Runescape not block illegal drug names?

Featured Replies

The chat censor is already too strict imo. Plus, theres no "drugs" in rs, so why bother blocking the words for them?

words they would have to block:

 

weed

 

pot

 

crack

 

special k

 

crystal

 

lucy

 

diamond

 

popper

 

love

 

grass

 

joint

 

e

 

knives

 

coke

 

dope

 

magic mushrooms

 

horse

 

and many others. and why block them words at all? its not like anyone is going to be using rs for huge drug deals

 

 

 

Don't forget Ecstacy and XTC. (My RS name is XTC Tester :) )

"Buying rannar **** 7k ea"

 

 

 

Duhhrr... :?

omg, imagine life if crack was cencored, Id just commit cuicide if more simple and unnecicary words are cencored.

there are so many words for them it would be hard to block them all and it would mess up normal words

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pot? can they block that?

 

 

 

anyway is it really a problem? iv never heard of people talking about drugs on rs until now

weed is part of the nams dwarf weed, rannar weed, goutweed etc?

 

 

 

mary and jane are common female names

 

 

 

can't start blocking that kind of thing

 

 

 

for the longest time we couldn't say cannonballs, it came out cannon***** i mean seriously... filters are ok, they should block a dozen or so of the worst swears as the TIF filter does... but the jagex filter is bad enough as it is, don't suggest more censorship lol

While we're on the subject of Jagex's hypersensitive filter, try saying "Selling ring of life 9k" (Without quotes).

 

 

 

Unless it's been updated, it comes out as "Selling ring of li*****" or something.

Yea you cant say buying ring of life 5k or anything either :roll:

Thanks Jopie211 for the sig

If you have never been exposed to drugs before, then the slang words are meaningless. If you allready know about them why should jagex block them? What are they protecting you from - you allready know what they mean. I'm pretty keen on jagex unblocking everything, scince IMO swearwords are meaningless and by blocking them you give them meaning, and make them a taboo - therby encouraging people to use them simply because it feels like they are doing something bad.
