Denied Global Add "f*ck" and variants to chat filter

Suggestion:

Add "f*ck" and variants to chat filter​

Detailed description:

I suggest adding "f*ck", "fck", and "fk" to the existing chat filter to prevent players from bypassing the filter on profanity

Currently, the full f word is filtered, but players are able to use these slight variations to get around the filter and use profanity in chat

Adding these common variants would help maintain a more family-friendly chat environment across all game modes​

Reason(s):

Well... while the main profanity is already filtered, players have found ways to bypass it with minor spelling changes

Adding these variants would close that loophole and better enforce the existing rule on appropriate language

Like, cmon, do I really need to go further?​

Example(s):

Sure!

• "What the f*ck" would be filtered
• "Fck you" would be filtered
• "That's fking awesome" would be filtered

This small addition to the filter would have a meaningful impact on chat quality with minimal downsides​

Those words don't even break rules
Too light to be punished

So you are not bypassing the filter when you say them, no?

You're going to laugh at my face when you say "fk" in chat, if asked what you meant, what will you say?

Bypassing the filter isn't against the rules, saying "fk" is allowed. Additionally, if those two letters are included in normal words, there's a chance they get blocked too, which would cause even more issues. Let them say light variations of the word, it usually doesn't hurt anyone.

Am just saying add them directly as word to the filter, no predictions

Hello PyroInDaBus,

Thank you for your interest in creating a suggestion to improve the server. We are always doing our best to make the server a better place for everyone.
However, we have eventually decided to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

• If something doesn't violate the rules, it's not useful to add it to the filter.
• The filter is intended to stop people from breaking the rules in rage. Bypassing the filter can always happen, so attempting to prevent that is pointless.

For your reference, here is a link to our suggestion guidelines → PikaNetwork Suggestion Guidelines.
Please make sure to read and understand them before suggesting again.

We also advise you to use our Thread Search Feature to look for (similar) already made suggestions and upvote them instead.
