So i just dodged a Game Lobby cause i was shocked that Clan Names that translate to "Whore" are actually allowed, but "f*ck" gets censored ..
Seems odd. http://imgur.com/a/mGx9s
So whats the deal with this? Are Clan Names like 8814 allowed now? So the Profanity and racism filter is turned off for Clan Names?
Wtf Rito xD
Players will always find a way around filters like these and the list of blocked words, while it attempts to cover multiple languages, will rarely keep up with slang/word adjustment.
This is what the report feature is for. Report the player post-game and choose the Inappropriate Name option. Then in the note box let Riot know it's for the clan name and what it stands for if it's slang or in another language. They'll handle it from there.
I just would love to know why certain words are banned. Like Dio, why is an anime character name banned?
I think any censorship in a video game is stupid. You should have the tools to block people but I don't want a game company swooping down like Big Bird and deciding what's OK and what isn't - especially without understanding the full context. That's a slippery slope.
I want everyone to be free to say whatever they wish without fear. If they say something that offends me, I block them. I want that control though and I don't want myself or others to be worried about how things are interpreted or the oversensitivity of a person with a victim mentality. I'll gladly accept being berated and harassed just to know that we can speak freely. I'd be happy to be called an autistic retard who should be lit on fire if that's what it takes to protect this game from censorship. For me, the evils of censorship are far worse than anything someone can say even if the censorship is well-intended.
I saw someone in game named "naggotfigger"
