[Treillerti]

I just was typing in a conversation and end up getting a word "costo" censored. . Um, anyone know why ? o.O or what's it mean ? lol

[zanotam]

well don't be suprised, i've had lots of wierd htings be censored.

[Sasamichan]

[Retehi]

"sd" still baffles me.

Just wondering why aid is censored.

[Cz]

aid is like virus?! or maybe...eh...a sexual word? i dont know what Sega see in that word, so i dont really know myself. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

D.j. did some research on this a while back. It's supposed to stand for "Sex Doll". Weird...

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Still can't believe some of the things that needs to be censored aren't. Which makes me wonder what the creators were thinking towards the community during the making.

[Skuda]

"Toss" gets annoying when it's censored. No one knows what the heck you're talking about.

They should have stuck to the well known offensive terms, and left it at that. The censorship in PSU is pretty ridiculous.

[MaximusLight]

actually aid does get sensored by itself...

[Unis_Zero]

I think some of the more funnier one's are "pork" shaved" and the fact you cant say "put a" b/c puta is supposedly spanish swear word!!! but ive run into to some really off the wall bizzare other ones that i cant even remember at the second

[Dj_SkyEpic]

wop wop wop... The sound that the thinking bubbles make are censored >.>

[XenithFlare]

There was something I discovered after running Dulk Fakis the first time... "B in hive" is censored. O.o;; The entire phrase, and other variations of it.

[Treillerti]

SkyEpic. . Wop is the racist term for Italians. . so says my Italian friend lol

[XDeviousX]

They censor "Frisky" as well



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: XDeviousX on 2007-05-20 01:58 ]</font>

[LoneDespo]

WOP - Without papers. Derogatory term to Italians.
Which I'm sure he knows :S

[SarinSerafi]

lol, you can't say "Bin", "Queue", or "Under 18". XDD That's off the top of my head.

[Saphion]

It could be worse. Anyone remember PSO's censor?

[Turbobrain]

Cap on is also censored. Fucking is not. Figure.

Yeah, D.j. Rain already told us, didn't you remember? lol

Let's see...what other word did I find odd?

Oh, right!

Try saying this phrase: B in the end.

For example: So, I was doing VoC in a random group. Some guy comes in and dies twice. We got a B in the end.

What that ends up looking like is: So, I was doing VoC in a random group. Some guy comes in and dies twice. We got a @ #$ !@# #$%.

You think that putting them together would make the word, but it doesn't. What you get is: So, I was doing VoC in a random group. Some guy comes in and dies twice. We got a bintheend.

If anyone can explain what the hell that means, then, thank you! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

True story, btw

[Treillerti]

LoL how sad. . But still, wonder what "Costo" is. . I can't figure it out. Tried looking it up. . but got medical terms. lol

[Kimil]

Poof gets censored too >_>

Why? O_o

[Pheromone]

Poof is a girly way of "farting?"



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Pheromone on 2007-05-20 03:39 ]</font>

[HiroSan]

yeah...Sega is retarded for censoring the stupidest things...tell me why "pork" in censored? i couldn't even tell people what i had for dinner the other night x.x and the censor "cu" (which baffles me just as much as sd does >.>)

[Nai_Calus]

The phrase "Isn't/wasn't/can't it?" gets pwned too. "It's a great day, isn'@ #!?" "Man, wasn'@ #! a crazy run?" "Ugh, my PM sucks, can'@ #! ever get a damn synth right?"

And yet I can let out a stream of every variant of the F-word known to man, and not a single bit of it is censored. The hell?

At least we can finally say shoes and saturday. We can also finally say 'Frozen Shooter' and 'Ano Rifle', now that we have no need to ever do so...

The censor makes no fucking sense. Which really isn't anything new, it always has, but it's like... One step forward, two steps back. :-/

[Sylpheed]

if you try to say 'Inv' as in invite it gets censored aswell pretty dam annoying when im trying to get an invite to a party.

EDIT: Oh and im pretty sure 'help' is cencored aswell.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Sylpheed on 2007-05-20 05:58 ]</font>

[Sekani]

Why can't I say "help", "message", or "Austin Powers"? Why are "kill" and "die" censored when the "PMs" can say them just fine? Why is "censor" censored?



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Sekani on 2007-05-20 06:46 ]</font>

[Itsuki]

I can't say "Johnny Depp". How am I supposed to talk about the greatest movie of all time without it? (Depp is actually german for dumbass)

lol it's the word "bin" that's blocked and it has a habit of blocking whole sentences along with it

[jayster]

You can't say "invite" or "inv" which is the most annoying thing censored...

[Nobo]

Can you believe that boobs, jugs, and hooters are all cencored but Breasts isn't? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

[Sexy_Raine]

You can't say Isn't it, Can't it, or don't it because of tit being at the last part.

STD doesn't get censored, strange.

[Neith]

At least in PSU you can say Saturday, Shoes, and Basement.

What annoys me is that I can't say 'Isn't it'. And yes, I know why it's censored, still stupid though. There's also the fact you can still curse a lot by using the plural version http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[Omega_Weltall]

the censor was created by a NON NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER! So they probley censored words he "heard" were rude er offensive wich realy arent. Costo... no clue and the SD or Sex Doll thing is a Japanese fetish, i'm sure some people here have it but its more common in Japan.

[Sekani]

I guess in other languages it's perfectly logical to squash an entire sentence once a word with a 2% chance of being offensive is detected.

You can say invite or inv

Also you can't say pork cause it's a sexual term. I'd really like to pork her. Usually used referring to a chunky girl.

I kind of looked up Wikipedia and it can also mean some kind of Nazi thing or whatever. As for breasts, you can say breasts in plural form, but you can't say breast, as in the singular form.

Actually Bin automatically blocked the next 6 letters afterward no matter what the were. When Deja was taking pics for the comic people were saying random things like @!% !%#@!%ate which would be bin chocolate(don't ask).

[SuperRygar]

bin is blocked cause of osama BIN ladin, when it sees "b in" it assumes your trying to communicate with him and blocks you off http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

feat is blocked!

its a strange thing but really..who cares? does the game suck now cuz u cant say boobies? any of these words can be said by adding any letter at the end or certain symbols. just say dopee

and the censor is not mistaken, that's the wrong phrase for this topic

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: SuperRygar on 2007-05-20 08:52 ]</font>

[pso123hrf]

"B in the end" Is censored because "bin" is, and since it is a phrase, I guess that is too O_o;;

Gib sweetdeath now!

The word "breast" is censored, but not "breasts". Both of which are silly, because that's the most non-offensive word for the front of the top torso there is. The bible says it, doctors say it, butchers say it, it's a good word. There's no reason to block it.

Also, Huevos.

[ShinMaruku]

Is boobies censroed? If so Soniccu Team will get smited

[Zorafim]

No, I don't think boobies is censored.

I'd also like to add in the fact that the most customizable part of a female character is the breast size, and that it changes significantly when wanted. They also bounce when disturbed. All this, and they won't even let you say the word "breast".

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Zorafim on 2007-05-20 10:34 ]</font>

[Ithildin]

How on earth Sonic Team have the right to censor the English language has always baffled me. Most of the censored words can be found in any English dictionary and are therefore used in everyday life. Also! You could argue that psu is a violent game... I've never understood how "foul" language gets worse censorship than violence does. It's always made me laugh, in the US whip out a gun and no one flinches, whip out a cigarette tho and everyone is disgusted... :/

Oh btw... "Toss" means to masturbate in the UK...



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Ithildin on 2007-05-20 10:40 ]</font>

[Powder Keg]

These are some of the worst working censors around.

Although, I remember in PSO I couldn't say "Saturday" because the word "turd" was in it.

[Cz]

the 2 words that always got me and are censor, "put a." >.>

[Powder Keg]

Come to think of it, I usually discover a new censor every time I play.

[Zorafim]

PSU has taught me more bad words than a day on the road in a major city.

[DEM_CIG]

ADD is censored...

That's a flaw that I don't like with the censor. It'll filter it even if there's a space in between the word, but yet, you make it plural, change the part of speech, or change the tense, you can bypass it.

It's just lovely http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

But, ~ always works (although, the word prostitute can't get bypassed that way, lol) http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

That's the only thing I could think of, but doesn't sound right as well. who would say cu = cum when you could easily rephrase it as kum = cum?

"cu" gets me all the time.
I don't have a keyboard and often find shortcuts to talk. So one phrase I naturally say often is:
c u later.

Great, it comes out @%# later.

http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif'

What's worse is that if a phrase of mine gets censored, sometimes it could be taken as me cursing off someone else when it's a totally inoccent message. But since I can only type slowly, it's difficult to correct miscommunicated stuff.

[Weeaboolits]

If they had any sense, they'd've just cesored the words that get bleeped out on TV. ;]

Also, do they censor "damn"? 'cause I'm pretty sure that's used in story a few times, and it'd be kinda' weird for them not to let us say it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Shaved is censored. They should censor Wack then

I think you cant say Isn't it because it blocks out the word tit. Thats just a guess on my part but it seems like the censor blocks words that are formed inside other words.

[Treillerti]

"Dios". . . why ? o.O i was trying to put it in my topic title and it got censored lol

Of all the racist terms that are censored,can someone tell me why "beaner" is not?

Damn is censored, damned is not. I tend to use damned a lot anyways, so it's rather convenient on my part. One that confuses me, and I'm quite certain a german can help me (the only thing keeping me from understanding this censor is ym lack of knowledge in the german language), is why the word darky is censored. I was in a lobby and two germans were chatting and the word darky came up as @#!&@, soon to be followed by a dark.y. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Seriously though, how many australians actually play this???

The word "poof" is not Australian at all (although I'm sure they use it). Its an English term for someone who's gay. The word "darky" is also used in England, it's a racist term for someone who is black.

Dios means "God" in Spanish. Sonic Team must want separation of church and gaming.

[Almighty_Envy]

but you can say god >.>

[GaNksTa]

They missed a language lol.. "VAI SE FODER", that would be Portuguese for f*ck you. Yea but some censors are just plain stupid. Though I did enjoy the Valentines event watching the GMs chat box filled with "@$*#@*%^*$&*!?@%$!?~&%#". Oh and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_slurs

[Ravennittes]

Romanji versions of japanese curse words are censored for those who were wondering. And all these are easy to get around: you can use the @ symbol I've heard, and a / as well. For instance, Help is censored so you can write he/p or he/lp. As for Invite or Inv, you can write 'vite me instead.

[Gryffin]

PMs... I mean, no one I've seen has meant to say PMS, but to say Pm's.... >.>

'Put a' bothers me too. I can understand them stopping spaces from bypassing, but for things like that >.>

*sigh*

[MrPOW]

You can't say "Bill Clinton" or "George Bush". The latter probably because of "bush". No idea why the other is censored.
