I fully appreciate the reasoning behind censoring the global chat. But since when was "cocktail" as in a popular class of drink which includes such classics as the Harvey Wallbanger, Manhattan, Screw Driver and Tequilla Sunrise, been deemed too rude to allow?

I suspect the algorithm has detected the sequence of letters c-o-c-k which while specifying both a male bird, and a tap on a beer barrel, is also a slang expression for a part of the male anatomy which some people should rather not discuss.

May I humbly request that should you get the time, that you look again at your censorship algorithm and perhaps test it on real life words which have no offensive connotations

Everything seems to have an offensive connotation nowadays

People from Scunthorpe hate those algorithms.

Yep, welcome to 2020 - the age of ultra wokeness...

Sadly, this is what happens when you raise an entire generation of children to believe that they're all special little snowflakes, and everyone gets a giant trophy just for showing up.

Exactly - just for showing up - in other words - just for posting anything

Why even is there a censor in the first place, to protect who? Do lots and lots of children play this game on PC?

Its like that in other games as well, there's this one item we collect we call golden eyeballs, and of course the second word is censored. in a chat that only 50 people can see, and all 50 are old people in the same guild. (Whats even funnier is in this game, if you say you are young you can't even open chat in the first place)

Games used to have it as an option, now it seems to be just forced on. Whats even funnier is because a word gets censored or part of a word does, you look like you are swearing when you are not. **** looks so much worse then what I was actually typing.
