[IMPLEMENTED] Suggestion: Remove * filtering

So, I know that censoring is ultimately up to Intelli, but I'd like to see what the community thinks about this * thing. You know, when you type a huge sentence and it gets replaced with *? This happens even in guild chat.

It's really annoying, and I have no idea what it is supposed to be censoring. It just makes chat difficult. If there are certain words that cannot be said, then I think they should just be bannable.

Worse yet, the censoring thing can be avoided with capitalizing certain things.

For example, saying "You're such a good friend" will get turned into a *. But, saying "You're such a Good friend" will display normally. It just doesn't make sense, and it can make it hard to chat sometimes. I don't feel that this filtering is helpful to the community at all.

Skype isn't censored anymore.
But I agree on the mild annoyance it's been having when normal, entire, sentences are being *'ed.

Teacher isn't censored when it's uppercase, just buggy and need to figure out what is being blocked.

The * thing happens to me a lot and it needs to be fixed, and it is very annoying.
