Yes it is inconvenient, but necessary. Understand it from our point of view.

I know with the forum that I maintain you can actually manually enter certain words to censor instead of part of it.  I would think that would be possible with this layout & this format.

I personally think they should concentrate on trying to stop all of these dolls who use that actual "F" word in their name... all 4 letters, no variation of how it was spelled.... the real word.  And yes, I report each and every doll who's name is inappropriate by using the "report" function and by sending a PM to a mod.

well... i am aware that a filter is necessary, but... couldn't the coder have applied a better-quality filter? i mean, one that would not prevent you from writing a non-bad word...

i'm not bothered by the filter itself, actualy, i approve having a filter here, it's just the filter's quality... as far as i know, there are filters that know the difference between glassess and a bad word.

but you said that the filter the game engine uses is different... most likely different from the filter used in YahooAnswers and Habbo too(those are able to cut even when people use symbols to write a bad word, without blocking non-bad words)... oh well... this complicates the situation...

i bet feerik will keep using the same filter it always did on other versions xP
so... yeah, whatever... just commenting about the fact they finaly set the filter's language to english so now we can write cookie, computer, bite, and everything else the french filter used to cut XD

Cookie cannot be used as it effects the site's coding.

Sexy shouldn't really be used in the first place.


All the mods have discussed the filter and we have asked before to get 'hot' removed from the list. I'll check in with the Admin to see how this is going, but don't expect to get it changed anytime soon as she's busy.

It's a pretty big double standard if they block players from using the word 'sexy' considering the fact that they use the exact same word in stage 1 of the current quest storyline:

Here I am, with my dressing-ground at 9:30 in the evening, more sexy than ever, typing frenetically on my keyboard to help my best friend.

Maybe they didn't mean to choose that word, since there are a lot of other spelling/word mistakes elsewhere throughout the story, even in that same sentence - it should read " dressing gown" and "frantically" not "dressing-ground" and "frenetically".

thanks! ^-^

er... actualy, when i said cookie, i did not mean browser cookies... i meant these:

these cookies above are ok, aren't they?

or did i missunderstand something now? x_X
if i did, sorry about that

Exactly my thoughts Jenzg11.  They (Feerik) takes the time to install a filter for so-called dirty words but can't take the time to censor some of the videos?  I don't think that the mods can do anything about taking that particular video down, other than to send an email to whoever is above them.  And I might be guessing but the reply might be that the company who provided that video should be the one to be contacted.

I didn't know where else to post this...  since this string is regarding censorship.. I have a Big complaint regarding one of the latest videos that is presented for the free feez. It's called "..."  To me this one is so out of line with what this game for GIRLS is for. This is pornographic.. Please MODs have a look at this and have it taken down..  I'm not the only one here that was shocked as to what is being presented. There is not even a filtering "enter your age" pre page.   This is so wrong

Oh good grief.. thanks for letting us know about this!  I don't ever watch the videos or do the stuff for free fee'z because I just couldn't be bothered..  so yeah, its very helpful when ya'll spot things that are inappropriate.


As far as the filter goes, i'm just happy we finally got it.  We've been asking for one for a while now...  Yeah its not perfect, but it was badly needed.

Oh thank goodnesss! I was dumbfounded and shocked when I spotted that video.
How in the world did that slip through?? 
So glad you girls took  care of it.

But, above and beyond that, my biggest (and only real) complaint is this:  It was my fervent hope that this new filter would STOP the use of inappropriate usernames... it has not!  I saw a brand new doll created last night (full profanity, no "creative camouflage")... so the filter is a failure in that respect, as far as I can see =(

Yes, I agree...of all the places a filter should (and desperately could) be used, it's in the naming section.  Just another thing to put on the Mods Wish List. ;) (Well...and Player Wish List.)

As always, the best way to get rid of profane usernames is to report it to a moderator, as they do get deleted fairly quickly that way. (Only to be replaced by more, I know...but, it's the only weapon we have against profane usernames right now.)

For those wondering how they can report a profane username without the filter censoring it, use spaces when sending a mod. a private note (eg: p r o f a n e u s e r n a m e.) (Do not report these names in a mod's comment section, please.)

Just as an update regarding the video in question...I received this response from the GM:

Indeed, this is totally inappropriate. The video checking hasn't been done correctly here. I reported that bug and be sure the video will be removed promptly.

I can confirm that the video is no longer showing.

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention Jenzg11.
Please do not hesistate to contact a moderator again should you find a similarily inappropriate video.

Thank you also to Feerik for removing the video. 

Thank you so Much Willowskye!  You were quick at getting this done. I watch the videos, as I'm on a very limited budget and buying feez is not always in the budget.

Thank you, and all the mods for the hard work you do for us.

I don't mean to go back to what you were previously talking about, but the word 'sexy', I do agree, should not be used at all. However, not only does this word come up in the curent adventure, but it also shows up in the Dollz men store:
I don't intend to sound like I'm backstabbing you mods, but this bothers me, and I had to share this.
