Unecessary Censoring of: Korean Girl
I was speaking to a female friend who happens to be a Korean girl and I called her a cute Korean girl and since the 2 words Korean andGirl were censored she mistakenly thought I was offending her, it took me a while to reason with her and she realized it was a censoring mistake. I am not trolling at all you guys can try it for yourselves. I just don't understand why that phrase is censored...

We almost had a less-restrictive word censor, but the censor broke entirely and the community went on a rampage with curse words. Which is really not the kind of thing you want if you're trying to show a game dev you're mature enough to handle a game with no censor.
Many players are still petitioning for a less restrictive word censor, including myself. I've been thinking of maybe compiling a list of words that don't need to be censored to submit as feedback, but after the holidays would be better.
Atop that, you can't see when you get censored in your own text feed, so it complicates things even worse, because you don't know when your words just got star'd unless some one else tells you.
Though over on Mabinogi, I've seen the word 'swap' censored.
Is it any different on MapleStory lul
The FCC just called and said they got nothing on you...
Nexon, maybe just write a legal disclaimer in the TOS to cover your butts? If it takes that, cause you are worried people will sue you when their 7 years old special snowflake/perfect little angel learned a dirty word from a chat in an online video game! gasp
Sherri it is quite different in Maplestory because it is hardly a thing to write out a sentence without seeing this sort of thing->
"Hey l* * *an help, the mob i* ***ting hard" <- like that all over.
And that is not an exaggeration, I see sentences in chats of MS that looks like that all the time lol
No promises on when we'll see the changes made into live, but the unnecessary censorship is absolutely something we're working on.
Arwoooo~
We have received word on when we will see the updated list of censored words introduced onto live.
We're expecting the changes to take place with the next update in early May.
Please note that this will not be the final edit and that we plan to continue making changes down the line.
As our language evolves so must our censored words in-game!
Thank you,
Arwoooo~
Thank you for letting us know.
Looking forward to more normal conversations.
"Who are you to ask me for a teaser? You can always Google it instead of asking me, please.
Offtopic: I used to be a huge fan of Gunbound."
We were sure to remove more that wasn't mentioned in the thread, but we'll see if further adjustments are needed once it's live.
Additionally, we'll be making more suggestions to the in-game censorship such as addressing the one which prevents players from seeing if their own text was censored.
The three I run into whenever I try doing anything with anyone are "beat me", "if u can", and "can all", so I really hope at least those made the list...
No need to bite! You can all rest assured that no one beat me to the punch. I'm not too sure if u can make a better example than all these. I'm sure most would drop the balls.
Another one I thought of was "let's muto". I'm ashamed of myself for knowing what that word is.
oh thats why its censored... Seriously didn't realize Semen was in Amusement LOL.
Well, I guess it's true what they say - can't spell amusement without..... that.
