Why is "ting e" censored in game?

Just what the title says... Why is this ghetto text filter cutting off half of perfectly normal words? Yesterday I tried to say "tasting emote" when talking about the cooking animation. Today I see someone else saying something that ends in "ting" followed by a word that starts with "e". If it's for another language, limit it to people using the option for that language.
These kinds of lazy blanket filters make games feel cheap and needlessly hinder communication.

Pretty much. Wasn't there some combination of numbers that was filter as well because it can become part of a racial slur? I forget what it is now but there was a thread on it before.
Personally I just turn off swear filters. I am a big enough boy to not be offended by bad words.Edited by Turelus on June 8, 2016 7:16PM@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Tekyn✭✭✭It did remind me to turn off the profanity filter, I'm just curious what possible reason there is for that particular filter. All I can come up with is a mental image of Butthead going "Uh huh-huh...thingy..."
If that's really what it is I have to wonder if the person making the filter is about 7 years old. Seeing as that's unlikely...what the heck else is it?-- Khajiit like to sneak --0 -

✭Hooray for overzealous censoring!
If it makes you feel better you couldn't say "after" in Monster Hunter Tri. Because it's German for, um... the end of your digestive system. In the expanded edition, you could say "after", but you couldn't say the name of one of the monsters - Stygian Zinogre - because it thought you were trying to say the name of a very bad group of people in WWII (...n zi...). Fun stuff.
I just turn off profanity filters. At least it's optional.
e: haha, the word I was trying to say got censored in full here, but not as strictly.Edited by rhapsodious on June 8, 2016 7:23PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭People were asking what mouse they use, in-game, found out that "Naga" is censored. It must mean something bad in another language, it's not just English speakers playing this game so they probably filter out all possible languages in every version of the game.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Hah. I've always turned the profanity filter off. Another food for thought, there are items in the game which will get censored in the forums.

I saw this too. I typed "I keep getting emailed" (the constant CP 160 mail bug) in guild chat and saw "I keep gettin****ed". Couldn't understand why that was the case.3

It's a rated M game, we can all put on our big kid undergarments and handle some heat. If you want to see real heat? Stay in online mode when in Cyrodiil and wreck some EP faces, oh the profanity you'll encounter..."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy.

Oh yes, very yes!Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis1 -
