Server mod's

[Xzbit]

Hey i have a question. why don't we have language filters on the servers? When i ran a server a long time ago, i had a mod that allowed me to enter in foul words that people would use and it would use symbols instead of the foul word. plus you was able to see short cuts people would use to still say them.

This helps by the foul words not showing in chat, and admins can see warn or ban for using them. I loved it because i hated to see the foul words in chat.

Our CoD4 servers have this, but I find that sometimes it is more hassle because they will often block words that simply contain the same letters as profanities.
Like class or grass or homogenous.

Because language filters replace the words with ( * ), this still counts as swearing.

Our Call of Duty division division uses B3 which does that automatically, but admins still can give warnings and such if necessary (3 warnings=temp ban). But for the Source games that use MAUL, as far as I've heard, we prefer to use manual adminning as opposed to something automatic.

We don't use language filters in our source games for multiple reasons. Some of these are talked about above - they tend to miss words or incorrectly filter others. That's why we have admins - to put a human touch on everything

I understand trykael, i was not bringing it up to have no need for admins. If we used them, then admins would still be needed to warn folks for trying to use foul words or ban if needed. The main reason for bringing up the question was to see if there was a way to block the acutally foul word in chat or change it up so dont really see what they said..

But anyways thanks for the answers on the subject. :thumbup1:
