So recently, Intelli, for a bit changed chat so some words can be auto-corrected to names of people. Sadly, this did not work ell "buying a spawn AlM", but that got me thinking. What if the server automatically omitted or changed inappropriate language to something else. This would:
1. Stop people from reading it (who don't want to)
2. REDUCE NUMBER OF BANS SIGNIFICANTLY

People could swear all they like, without other people reading it and receiving the consequences (of course unless they were still put in place to act still as a deterrent).

For example, if someone were to type s__t into chat, it could be omitted or changed into something like "darn"...

Do we like it, or does it put too much strain on the server?

I loved this and this should be the norm.

This has already been implemented, to a certain extent, mainly with abbreviations. For example, "wtf" = "What the?!". Expanding on this more would be interesting. As a related alternative, we could also change banned words to utter gibberish, so that the spammers like the ones in Doc's post just embarrass themselves (but Server could still keep track of who was trying to swear, and ban accordingly if it happens too often, so that the spammers get eliminated quickly).

I've seen this before on other servers and think that this would be a good idea to do on minerealm.

Same here.

Excellent idea. BTW, what are all the "*"s for?

EDIT: WHAT THE?

Ya, whenever I say here, it replaces it with a *

Edit: Wait, I'm confused because I just said here and it worked.

I have been suggesting this ingame since the darn autocorrect was implemented.

Suggested the same thing the about 3 hours after it was implemented.
