Ok .. this is a bit excessvie, Kabam, please look into this and fix ... you're making it impossible for us to communicate to our battle groups, by having such strict censors functioning within alliance chat.
I can understand that censors in global .. but I'm sorry, DO NOT CENSOR alliance chat .. period ... you're overstepping your bounds there.
Here's a classic example:
I tried to send the following msg:
"Need you to clear that lane"
That's it ...
and bam .. censored:
"#########################"
seriously, Kabam .. WT actual F ??
*sigh*
smh
(and you wonder why people need to use LINE or some other tool .. )
so sad.

Now they are censored phone numbers too. Ridiculous
IF private chat THEN NULL -- do not censor ELSE IF alliance battle group THEN NULL -- do not censor ELSE IF alliance chat THEN NULL -- do not censor ELSE {whatever} ... -- censor away with whatever rules you want. END IFIt's not that hard .. and it DEFINITELY doesn't require "a continuous process" ... O.oSorry, that applies to the what's being censored .. not WHERE it's being censored.
With all due respect .. censor of messages, does NOT belong in private chat ... please do NOT do that.
thanks.
This is a video from yesterday 8-20 in a dungeon.
Nothing vulgar, just a question about how to use a hero.

It gets censored. Great it’s censored here too lol
Joking aside, there are some words that definitely don’t need to be censored. I get that even in private chats you could still have “teens” and that could be the cause, but words that are IN the game already shouldn’t.
Not sure why “mourningstar”would be censored .... even though i used the wrong spelling of her name.
And yes, the word *but* is censored a lot even when used in the proper context.
it censored the word: "t4s" ... as in: "need more t4s" ..
O.o
can't even talk about the game now ... it censors that .. *sigh*
once again, this solution would be easy if you just didn't censor private chat ..
Like, as in an in-game email to all Summoners telling them "for a better chat experience check out these apps".
Kabam could support Line in-game with Line chat tabs. That way we could directly access Line within the game instead of having to minimize.
Yes, the in-game chat is awful, but I'm not harping on that because I understand why it has to be awful. Kabam has to keep their T rating; thus, chat filter.
Would throwing their support to an unrated chat affect their rating status?
I just see a win-win here. Kabam doesn't have to mess with their chat anymore and Summoners could use Line in-game.
@Kabam Lyra
talking about Iceman being able to "take a hit" ... "take a hit" gets censored .. O.o
seriously?
Referecing a youtube video, it censors the username "HobbitCrom" .. for some reason .. O.o
but sending it seperately:
"Hobbit"
and
"Crom"
works fine ..
*sigh*
"masochism" gets censored ..
as does:
"ism"
which I suppose is an interesting slur ..
"You dirty little *ism* !!"
O.o
"role"
Yep ... apparently that's a bad word.
O.o
Don't talk about any touching.. lol
Way back when I was selling electronics, cellphones and stuff. A customer had just bought a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone (back before smartphones, but it had an mp3-player!! Groovy...) and came into the store to show me what the T9-dictionary suggested when he tried to type a normal word starting with the letter N.
The phone was set to Swedish (since in sweden) and suggested an awful combination of two very bad words, especially put together. We actually had to contact the manufacturer, who had failed to censor it. And got the answer that the dictionary was based on words most commonly used in text messages...! Whatever that says about people.
In Swedish you can assemble several words into one new word. You could for example add together the swedish words for "potato" and "peeler", and they form the new word potatopeeler, instead of (like in english) potato peeler. It's quite fun, you can actually form very long imaginative words this way...
Anyway, in this case it was two words one should not use, one being the N-word and the other the word for lady of the night put together...! And this popped up as an auto correct when the customer was trying to write a text to his Girlfriend of color...!
We could actually try and see that this unfortunate auto correct happened on all Sony Ericsson devices at the time, so it was a general problem and the word had to be manually removed from the dictionary to stop it from happening! Lol
It was then removed with new software updates later on.
