Verily good sir! Are you really going to run me to droks for free?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simple concept. This forum uses it for it's swear filter. We know it as GORED.

I for one would like the *optional* choice to run text through a filter of common horrible intentional mangling of the language.

Just a random thought that came to me from a forum that does this.

good idea i guess, but 10 ectos says they come up with new and more horrible ways to mangle the english language.

Explain how GORED is the filter, when quite obviously RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO is.

GO RED ENGINE.

Also no, that idea sucks there are hundreds of different things id rather anet did, yu dont like how people talk turn off local / ignore list em.

I just ingore anything that EVEN looks like that.

I would love to see that ingame
doubt it will happen but would make trips to LA a bit more humoros

Ehh, what does RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO even mean, I have seen it used so many times and everytime im baffeled, trying to figure it out.

A better solution, in my opinion would be a limitless ignore list. =p

Try posting everybody's favorite four letter f word and see what Guru posts.

Anyway, this is the main reason why unless I'm specifically trying to buy or sell something I stay in international districts. Less annoying people. I wish this exact filter existed, mainly for "verily good sir", but there's so many stupid people coming up with so many stupid ways to talk that we'd never catch them all.

I guess /signed?

I just ignore those lines.
I don't need to convert them, they are not text for me, just gibberish.

it's called the degredation of modern society and the youth of the nation... for better or for worse that is where we are at...

*not I select the "for worse" option*

Like AutoCorrect in MS Word? I like it. Only thing is, in the OP, I'd switch "droks" (and "dorks" for that matter, incessant morons...) to 'Droknar's Forge'.

/signed, if you couldn't tell

Oh, my! I just laughed myself silly with this! Just for the laughs, I'll sign to it!






And the "f-word" is filtered through the forums as RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO. Once I understood that, I became amused by its inception to any post! ^_^

GLF are9+ RC!

Probably needs something to keep this from happening in HA lol.

Either an unlimited ignore list or a report option for sloppy language.

This can't be a serious suggestion. I mean, its not possible to "translate" stuff like that. Heck, its hard enough to translate real languages with a computer algoritum (babblefish anybody?).

haha anet cant even keep up with bugs let alone the latest "speak"..

Ummm................................. LOLWUT?

Have you ever used Microsoft Word? Just do it manually, it wouldn't be done by Guild Wars.

lol

Its like the opposite of the Swedish Chef. I love this idea. Usually I just ignore anyone that talks like that and go on my merry way, but this idea is so creative I must sign it, even though I cannot see it being implemented.

OK, ok j/k...
too hard too implement. Let's face it skill changes aren't that hard to code (I guess, but I mean they've been doing it for 3 years they must be used to it at least), and it takes a full month to get one, no matter how big it is.

I found the first one! (Hint: I put it in bold.)
