Yeah, tell me if I should add any more words to the list...

I tried amputation. Just assumed the rest would all do the same... I would go try them all.... lol well I'll go try one of the insane ones real fast and get back to you, blah yeah they are all not good and I'm positive.... so yeah dont add those to the list if you change it to that.
I'm not sure, but I think the word "computer" is censored too. I had two text bubbles with the text "computer screen". I tried with just "screen" and now it's ok.
Oh... in computer there is com-pute-r, that is a french word for...hum...[SPOILER]beach...[/SPOILER]
In addition, there is some french words in the Doctor Ramatool's list.. These are certainly the ones you thought obscure.
Well... I guess we know what our next crusade should be after MM fix the various recent bugs :p
I get the feeling whoever wrote the Search engine also wrote this little piece of code... the careless style seems similar.
I suppose I should remove the word "happened" from Midnight Train now that I know that it was the one responsible for the speech bug I had. As a show of protest though, I think I will not remove the words that trip the censors, but deliberately misspell them somehow.
Actually, french being my native tongue technically (I was raised in both english and french), I feel I must correct you: pute means
[SPOILER]uhm, "call girl" would be the less offensive translation. It is also used in the same sence as beach in some cases, but then so is the common term for call girl :p[/SPOILER]
Oh!
Thank you very much for the correction.
I'm really sorry for my bad translation...
Ok, I added computer...
opened!
now thats why my level all of a sudden had *******'s talkers.
I kept editing, and fixing it.. publishing it..
and so on..
Finally I understand :p
Thank you.
Seems I got all of the bugs atm available in one package!
Their censoreship system really is crap. I'm sorry but I think it's beyond ridiculous to start finding words within words.
Actually, it's not what they do, it's just because the way they programmed their thing is really bad. They simply check and match letters. When some letters are adjacent they simply cancel the whole word it was in.
The intelligent way to make a censorship system is to make a word database and check after every word the player writes. Seriously.
The game is rated E for everyone, if the game doesn't let you write certain words then it totally is doing its homework. The way people might interpret some words and finding words between words is people's problem, not the game. When I write "cockpit" it means "cockpit" and not "****". I should have the right to write that just like the word "cockpit" can be seen ANYWHERE and in kids programs because it simply doesn't mean "****".
Also, If by their censorship logic they need to censor words withing words, why are they permitting the chat via headset? I can tell you really bad things if I want. Why is headset communications permitted? Simply because it's not the problem of the game but the one of people. Since their censorship isn't well thought out or making sense, they don't apply this principle with text.

Yeah, it's really stupid. And even worse is, if one of your sentences says something like...
"It was basic until the monster grew huge" ( Yeah... Wtf? )
It would censor it, because the c in basic and the first 3 letters in until, spell a bad word. It's just really lame... :p
Ah, danggit! In my Private Eye Part 1: The Diner, at the beginning, it used to have those, but I changed it. I can't even remember what it said. XD
for some reason i cant download the 1.08 patch, any hope for me?
I have a new lead on a possible censored "word". If the words "analog" and "analyze" turn up as censored, I think we can probably assume we need to avoid words that start with those same four letters.
Well, as far as this is concerned... take is from the developers point of view. If they didn't offer mic support they'd be nailed to the wall... no question. The other thing is, censoring text is infinitely easier than voice. If you were to censor voice you'd have to have a ridiculous amount voice recognition software that would have to process everything that's being transmitted and then filter it out... which would create a completely unacceptable amount of lag. Not to mention the fact that the software would inevitably cancel words out that we'd use in common language. There's no way I would even approach blaming them for voice chat. I will whole-heartedly agree with you that their system of censorship is pretty hideous at the moment, though. Admittedly, they are choosing to include vulgar language from every supported language... which is a pretty long list if you think about it. I'm not saying it's an excuse, but compared to other games, it's clearly a much easier task to filter out the language the game was released in rather than create a global filter. So, yes, I'm willing to give them a little breathing room on the issue... but come on... some of the words mentioned here that have been filtered are simply ridiculous.
"puta" is a curse word in my country. Which is odd as we're a small archipelago, and MM still censored it.
Also, add skyscrapers in the list.
