WTF Chat Filter... Doesn't Understand Engrish?
So, anyone have a clue why this would be getting blocked by the chat filter? ...so much fail. I proceeded to type it out small parts at a time, and bam! Everything worked fine that way. It's more than likely "come".
When stuff like this happens...remember...
"SE works in mysterious ways....or not at all." I had this trouble the other day, instead of trying to re-word it a 4th time I just gave up :/ lol.
very odd. I tried /telling myself just then with that phrase and it didn't get blocked :x
it could just be the fact that im telling myself, but i haven't got anyone not currently busy to test it on. The only other difference between us is the name of the recipient. wow... this is sad, we get block for talking to friends, and freaking gil sellers/buyers still sending annoying tells to everyone, only thing they had to do is "www.name./om" -.-; *sigh*

Considering your 1st few had the word "Steal" in it and the 4 separate lined one's don't, it's probably the combination of steal with those other words.
naw, only the 2nd attempt had the word steal in it. its just.. bizarre lol
i had the same problem. i told a friend in /tell that "i'd bring my pld but i loaned out all my stuff since im not exping it atm." and got blocked. had to resort to typing it in parts too. i even used the same exact words but broken into parts and they all went through -.- srsly wtf?!

Except....Steal is a THF ability. It shouldn't be blocked under any circumstances. Seeing this reminds me of the other day when I said to someone "I have a chocolate cake in the oven, mmmmm", and it got blocked...
SE's filter fails. Are we surprised?
Well instead of complaining here what about contacting SE directly so they could fix it :p ?
No filter is perfect anyway. Take a look at email spam filters, biggest companies of this planet have been working on these, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, AOL..., and this for couple decades. It's still not flawless so how do you expect SE, which is a -small- company (compared to the above monsters) to release an excellent filter right away ? In my opinion, the filter was stupid from the start. SE needs to combat RMT directly, not put on this passive aggressive act we're all used to seeing.
SE need to ban buyers that's it. There's no way to stop sellers anyway :x
Lol my friend was telling me about how his neighbor gave him cake and cookies and that got blocked.
What does SE have against cake and cookies?? Asura.Luelle said: Lol my friend was telling me about how his neighbor gave him cake and cookies and that got blocked. What does SE have against cake and cookies?? It doesn't contribute to a healthy diet! Japan hates fat people, remember? Got a new tell I haven't seen before:
"Congratulations! Mog Bonanza Marble free for you! Click www.stupidphishingwebsite.com Go Now!" I don't even have the filter turned on and I rarely get these rmt tells anymore.

Cause SE doesn't have a forum to post in where people can laugh and think to themselves, "I can relate to that!" They need to combat RMT with all available tools.
This is just one of many tools used against RMTs, and I for one am glad that this is here. And Japanese don't hate fat people.... Just had this conversation with the GM:
So we should contact a GM whenever we mention cake, cookies, or otherwise and it gets filtered. Awesome. Is everyone really having such a big problem with the chat filters?
None of my /ts have been filtered at all, and so far only 2 people said it has with them. I even tried that /t that was filtered above, and I didn't have a problem.

I even tried that /t that was filtered above, and I didn't have a problem. Multiple people in my LS have mentioned their tells getting filtered. My boyfriend has had some tells filtered. I've had tells filtered. So it's more than just 2 people. After I had stupid tells filtered, I turned the filter off. ok then, but did you do something before your /ts got filtered that you may think caused it?
Like sending a shitload of tells to people while before you got filtered? And, placing blame on SE for this, doesn't solve the problem.

And, placing blame on SE for this, doesn't solve the problem. I was sitting in my mog house. I didn't just zone. I wasn't sending multiple tells to multiple people at the speed of light. Someone asked me how was work today, I said "It was great. I almost got my hand chewed off by a pissed off cat lol. How are you?" Bam, blocked. Waited a few seconds, tried to send again. Blocked. I wasn't in the mood to fight with an arbitrary filter, so I turned it off. Could be mog house.
I don't know, just conjecture. Sorry about your hand though. Asura.Korpg said: Sorry about your hand though. The rewards outweigh the risks of my job, in my opinion. But thanks for the concern. |
