[casual_games] Bad Word List?

[strictfoo-games at yahoo.com]

Yes,
by themselves those words and phrases are fairly benign. But the
problem is we're dealing with quasi-anonymous Internet users here, not
people talking at a business function. I also didn't see where they
said that people don't remove words. Also, "com" is clearly included to
help prevent people from spamming.


>> I also question what

would happen if our vice president joined this chat and people started
addressing him by his first name.

What, is his name Gay 666Jew?
I guess I don't see where the problem would be.

At what point do profanity filters become more offensive than the language they actually filter?


I also question what would happen if our vice president joined this chat and people started addressing him by his first name.

Hi Derrick, 


 


I've attached Game Trust's base list of
banned profanities for our in-game chat client across our single- and multiplayer
community game network. Often our distribution partners will add to this list,
but this is the base. 


 


Hope this helps! 
J

We're building out our registration process and want to be
able to prevent users from creating screen names that contain profane, sexually
explicit or defamatory words and phrases. Has anybody on the list seen a decent
list of these terms that's been assembled? Anybody willing to share theirs?
