Is there any reason why the word "Support" is censored out of the mastery names?

Haven't played in a while and was updating masteries/rune pages and what not and notice that the word "support" is censored from being in the title of one of my mastery pages... seems like a mistake. Also, it's obviously not that big of a deal but still kind of odd.

*Appears to be fixed as of patch 7.16

There's a known issue with the wordfilter. Riot is aware and is working on a solution.

Kinda funny though, huh?

This has to be a joke by some RIOTer coder who is a Challenger lvl troll. One does not just accidentally add Support into the naughty list... More proof RIOT is racist against supports.

It's censorship is automated no programmed by humans.

Actually, to be automated it must be programmed. By humans. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Hey moron, they programmed it to recognize when people who have said the same words and also been reported, to censor those words, automatically without their input. They aren't manually adding words. They programmed it to automatically censor. They do not program what words it decides to censor. It's also been randomly censoring words, without being programmed to do so, it's a bug, they aren't purposely putting these things in.

Sorry, but my comment still stands. Programming to automatically add words and manually adding words are different. They still programmed it to censor certain words (based on what, I don't know, I have no info on the actual program). The censor program didn't magically go "Oh, I should start auto-censoring words!", it still needs human interaction. So you saying that the censor program is automated and "No programmed by humans" still makes no sense. It doesn't take a genius to realize that we haven't created reliable AI that does that yet :3

What point "Programming to automatically add words and manually adding words are different." there, what you just said, is my point. Sure they started with certain words like curse words, but they made it so it can learn, it's an ai. You literally do not have an apparent point here. I know it's not reliable, they need to fix it duh. Sorry but your comments are pretty much useless here whereas mine explained to the person I originally responded to that it's not a joke it's a bug. I literally said THEY PROGRAMMED IT TO AUTO CENSOR. IT IS STILL CENSORING WORDS OF ITS CHOICE. THEY ARE NOT MANUALLY ADDING THEM. I EVEN SAID HOW THEY 'PROBABLY' DID IT. WHAT PART OF THIS WAS UNCLEAR. CAN I STOP USING CAPS FOR EMPHASIS NOW? OR DO YOU STILL NEED THIS EXPLAINED? ONE LAST TIME< IT IS PROGRAMMED TO BE AUTOMATED. MOST LIKELY IT TOOK SOME THINGS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FLAGGED AS SAFE AND FLAGGED THEM AS UNSAFE.

No, all I was pointing out is what you said was confusing and didn't make your point as clearly as something like, say, "The censor program is programmed to find words to censor" rather than saying it isn't programmed at all. If you've ever coded anything you would probably understand that you still have to program it to go find things automatically, like how many times it comes up or what words it was used with, context, ect. There's a lot that goes into something like that to make it even close to finding its own words. A human had to code that whole thing.

All of it. The only thing that the program does by itself is carry out the programming. It won't add new lines of code, the only thing it will add is the words to censor (and possibly some contextual stuff if it's built that way) which ultimately end up simply as strings and variables to use, like a keyboardist typing "file001" in the search bar. This shouldn't be a big problem, but I find it utterly hilarious that you missed my purpose by so much and actually bothered to counter-argue it.

I'm not going to comment on this anymore unless you come up with something that I need to know or that breaks my argument (because I do really want to understand this a bit better, I never really thought about the censor bot much).

I didnt say it isnt programmed at all i said its censorshipnisnt which it isnt. And btw yes programs actually cam write new lines of code. That is possible but its really advanced and complicated and only used on really smart ais like smart houses.

Even riot hates the support role. Fml.

tank support with pretty much no point in tankyness?

I hadn't changed the actual mastery points yet, I think that was a page I was using for ADC or something.

I had "Armour Penetration" censored.... (rollseyes)

When I saw this thread I did giggle and thought you was going to mention MissFortune if you know what I mean.

Assassin is as well, for obvious reasons, but it's still ridiculous.

Also, Rakan gets censored to "- - -an."

Apparently Rak is offensive?
