Do you play with the ingame censor on or off?

Kalgert · May 2018

Considering how the filter censors out absolutely everything that is considered as profanity, even if words to form them are in a sentence, making sentences all messy.

So I keep the filter on off. Makes it easy for everyone.

MjolnirVilkas · May 2018

Off because I'm no offended by boo-boo words. If someone is being openly racist/homophobic/xenophobic/etc or expressing his hateful views against a certain demographic in any other way, I simply just report them.

I do like the fact that this setting exists though, I bet there are people who prefer to have it turned on and there's nothing wrong with that.

Beardimus · May 2018

On, it's default setting on Console. No need to turn it on. Console folks are less potty mouth than you PC guys

Except when it XXXXs the ending of one word and the start of a another as it might have split letters that make an acronym of something that someone once might have decided to get offended about onetime just in case.

Oddly you can't say 'Dolmen Great'

Feanor · May 2018

Off. I don’t get hate tells anyway, and /zone isn’t something I’d lose my sleep over either. There is always the good ol ignore if someone really annoys.

DaiKahn · May 2018

Off. I'm an adult and the generic censorship filters in games/forums suck big time

Tandor · May 2018

On, assuming that's the default. As I don't have zone chat enabled it's entirely irrelevant anyway and I've never given it a thought.

Lunatic_Dizzy · May 2018

I roll with it off, because I'm a big boy that can handle wordy dirds

dsalter · May 2018

off, because i hate seeing **** instead of the actual word.
i live on the internet, i'v seen worse stuff than *** or **** or even a crap tone of *******

Charliff1966 · May 2018

On, have no time for idiots whom think they can say what they want because they are anominous.

^exactly this

MaleAmazon · May 2018

Off, and I dislike having to turn it off for every single character.

DieAlteHexe · May 2018

Off.

If someone starts behaving like a toddler with a sugar rush, I use /ignore. "Bad language" doesn't bother me.

lardvader · May 2018

Didn't know it even existed

Off of course - I'm an adult and can handle stuff

S_Ravenlock · May 2018

On, because I'm an adult.
I don't think your swearwords, racism or homophobia make you cool or edgy. I have no time for childish or negative people in my life.

Americans are fine with shooting each other in the face but saying the F-word is a crime? Shame on that country.

@ESO_Blash you have that one backward. saying the F-word cannot be prosecuted, according to the very first article in our Bill of Rights, part of our Constitution. shooting people in the face is a crime, and is suppressed by our government (albeit via a flawed system). but i suspect you knew that already

there are plenty enough reasons for criticizing my country (it's a hobby of mine!) without juxtaposing imaginary strawman lies.

i think both of our posts will be deleted or edited in a little over 4 hours, btw. i think we're not supposed to discuss this here.

back on topic, my new 5th reason for leaving the censor OFF is that if someone is being abrasive just for the sake of being abrasive, i would like to be able to easily identify that person for the sake of remembering to avoid them, rather than wondering if the censorship algorithm is overreacting again.

Cuthceol · May 2018

I see no reason to turn it on

Off. While I do find some language offensive at times, I find it more irritating that the filter blocks words incorrectly.

Seriously, why filter the following:
I **** g**** in the mail for your g**** preserves. <-- with filter
I put a grape in the mail for your grape preserves. <-- without filter

this.

some of the words sensor blocks are just... ridiculous.

logarifmik · May 2018

Of course off. I'm mature enough to endure filthy language.

Invincible · May 2018

I play with the censor off so that I can see people cursing, get offended, report them, know they'll get banned, profit?.

Off, but I wish there was a way to censor the constantly ongoing political discussions in every starter zone.

I will not be silenced, LIZARDS are SLAVES

RaddlemanNumber7 · May 2018

On, because it blocks some seemingly random bits of words and it's fun trying to work out why. I like puzzles.

Vulsahdaal · May 2018

Off. I dont care much for the idea of censored anything. If I dont like what Im seeing, I just stop looking.
But its important to me that it be my choice to do so, not have it decided for me.

aaisoaho · May 2018

Off, because it is way too strict. If I talk in my native language with the guildies, it might clip a normal words. And even when I write something in english, the filter may eat away some of the text, for example: you can't write anything starting with the letter T after Thurvokun. (Thurvokun took a while to beat -> Thurvo *** ook a while to beat)

Sparr0w · May 2018

Off, filters random stuff for no apparent reason. Besides how do you express yourself without a bit of vulgar language here and there?

The_Smilemeister · May 2018

Off. Censorship shouldn't even be an option in this game. There's hardly any swearing in ESO as it is. If you can't handle what's being said then you shouldn't be playing it.

Violynne · May 2018

Mine is off.

It's not the word that offensive.

It's how it's used.

I have pretty thick skin, so not much offends me.

moses1763 · May 2018

Off I rarely am offended too old to care have seen and heard it all before; although I rarely engage chat the less clutter on my screen the easier I can see with my very bad eyes.

*** *** *** *** ***, *** *** *** ***?

On or off? Why?

And

Followup question: Should the forums have a similar censor, set to on by default, but allow us to turn it off?

i always turn it off. I've been playing mmo since I was 19, and adult enough to not be bothered by "bad words"

also no, i rather not see censorship. "bad words" are just that words. Only have power if you give it power.

Game is rated M, kids shouldn't really be on it and added bonus is the rating has no baring on interactions.

Off topic, I'm tired of parents letting kids under 13 play online games with out supervision. Then get upset due to how people act around the kid. I had an incident in ff11 where an adult topic game up in my guild, and a father cussed me out over it. Claiming his son was 7 and say the conversation.

Minyassa · May 2018

Off. How else am I to know when I need to report someone?

Serjustin19 · May 2018

Off. Censorship keep censoring my words. That not supposed to be censored. (for example talking)
