Opinion Only: I got this app out of boredom and started to enjoy it so i kept it. I met a lot of nice people and a lot of not so nice people. I enjoy the challenges of this game with updating and jobs, but there are certain things that i do not quite understand. The developers have filtered words to avoid vulgar and inappropriate language during the game; however, some words that have been filtered have double meanings, making people bypass to get their point across. In return they get silenced because bypassing is against ToU; afterall, the words were filtered for a reason. The reason: perverted players of this game have used the words inappropriately. So the normal players can no longer have an expanding vocabulary during the game. What makes this confusing to me? Well the fact that we can't use vulgar words, but we can send: thongs, boxers, naughty outfits, holliday boxers, fuzzy handcuffs, martinis, etc. These things should be against the game considering this is bringing sexual content into it. Developers are either hypocritcal, confused, or it may have been an easy mistake. Either way it has me wondering. Feel free to leave a comment or remark about this or the game in general, this is just my opinion, please don't take it to heart. Thank you all, Merry Christmas. Please Be Nice -Char
Also apologies if this subject has been posted before. It is something i noticed and wanted to get out there. So if this was posted by someone else then my apologies.
I posted before but I agree it's really stupid of what gifts they made and that they are meant to discourage pervs or anything like that I think it would be good if they replaced the really dirty ones and the pedo bear
Man, PIMD fits to suite for the mobey. It was suppose to be for 17 an allow innap things. Instead majority was young and paying. Therefore they suite to keep the money in. but Think if they let curse words in, things would go crazy... We should get a 1 chance rule. Depending on curse word used , or the bypass. I think mods should be a little more lenient on the rules... I'll prob be writing on this later.. But yea that's it. Don't feel like typing.. So here's a car
I just noticed it and its been bugging me. I was just silenced for saying i snatched someones cookies in world chat, of course i had to bypass to get the point across. I think they should keep the curse words without double meaning filtered, and keep the other ones unfiltered and then determine on the context it was used in to silence someone. Also, before a silence should be a warning by the mod silencing them to avoid misinterpreted silencing. Let the person know what they did wrong, let them explain themselves, and if they cant give an explaination then silence.
Another thing i have discussed with a mod, is 3rd app advertising. Yes that should be wrong but if pal(the app) and pal(the person) is brought into world chat there arises a conflict with the ToU. All mods should be on the same page and have the same understanding for words. Anyway why is pal an okay double meaning word but snatch isn't? I mean both are against the ToU in at least one way.
Because saying pal isn't bypassing. Saying something about the app is but not pal itself. It's pretty obvious which one you mean when you use it in context.
And what about cuss words is "expanding vocabulary"? You don't say "fuck you, bitch" or "this shit is crazy" and expect to have an "expanding vocabulary."
I was not saying curse words is expanding your vocabulary; however, any new word that you learn is considered "expanding your vocabulary". Negative words or positive does not matter. Also the pal thing was not the point. The point is, is that every word should be considered right or wrong depending on context not just certain words.
But I'd rather have snatch blocked out than have it not because someone, undoubtedly, would use it sexually. I refuse to do this again.
How come words are filtered in forums and not everywhere else and vice versa. You can say the 3 letter word for donkey everywhere else but here and you can say rape and snatch in here but not everywhere else
I think if words are going to be filtered filter them everywhere. I mean you are already making the effort to filter it, don't get lazy and finish the job.
