Quick questioning of PSO's censor

[Zheltroxemin]

I know talking about the retardedness of the censor in PSO in nothing new. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_biggrin.gif I can understand why they censored shoes, basement and saturday because of certains words in it. My question is, In all of the censoring why is the word MASTURBATION and MASTURBATING allowed to slip through the censor if they even bothered to censor it. Is Sega and Sonic Team trying to say something?

Orgasm is not censored. Some perv found out my daughter is 11 and said "So you've never had an orgasm?" just as I walked into the room. I don't know if he's been arrested yet or not.

It's PSO's eight law of physics:

"The one who jacks off while playing is probably another GSer trying to screw up the censoring in front of a mom and her kids." http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_razz.gif

Who knows? Maybe everybody in Sonic Team likes to jag off.... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_razz.gif

Poof and Chink are censored too. I know that chink is a racial slang, but why poof? Shoes is censored because of the last four letters http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_razz.gif

I found one in particular weird, "cola." Does anyone know what offense this causes? All I wanted to say is "Brb, getting a drink of cola." Damn PSO ;_;.

[Gandalf]

Excuse me while your on this board please refrain from using words such as cola! U kiss your mother with that mouth?=)

Haduken!

[Mina]

lol,um i was in a game when i was kinda a newbie and was trying bad words out,can i said hump thinking oh it will be @#!# but i mean,cola and hump what one is worse?

[Gilder]

I could understand "hump" being censored, but "cola?" Maybe Sega didn't want Pepsi or Coca-cola employees advertising their soft drinks on PSO. By the way Mina, haven't we played recently? Possibly two-three days ago? I believe you were using Nanaka.

[Mina]

it was yesterday,i was using anim..

[Cronical]

Ah, the lameness of the censor http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_smile.gif Anyway, there are alot of patterens that keep them from being censored, sometimes the word alone isn't censored, or a modification of that word. For example, I can say "You thieving jackass!" with relative ease. Heh, apparently they just entered things to censor, and that would be sad on their part seeing as how some weird words are blocked, but if not, then these are just tricks that mess with censor.

[Omege12]

Well you can say hell and ass, as long as you put a period after them. Example:
"I hope your ass. burns in hell."
Perfectly non-censored. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_razz.gif

[Gilder]

Wow, I have really bad memory ^_^;;;;. I remember playing with a character by the name of Nanaka however.

[Gandalf]

A wierd one happened 2 me the other day. I was going to trade this guy and he said "Alright ill go get my stuff" I proceeded 2 say "kkk" (the same thing as "ok", in case anyone missed that) The words came out as $&%. Now, i know why it did this, but thats still a little sensitive, considering how I can't think of a good reason anyone would use it badly. Anyway...the guy left because he thought i was cursing at him.

HAduken!

"poof" is english slang for homosexual

has anyone also noticed that you cant say "blows"? i once tried to explain why i like knife weapons - "6 blows for the price of three" http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_wink.gif

[Sisqua]

Poof is almost similar to n*gger in many ways (sorry I hate that word even for demonstration purposes). It depends a lot on context.

A lot of my gay friends call each other poofs but it would be considered a bit offensive in most cases for a straight person to refer to a gay person as a poof.

[merlin]

I can't believe that someone would make a remark like that to an 11 year old girl!!!!Find the bastard and PK him.What I can't for the life of me understand is why there are STILL some people standing around in the lobbies trying to swear!!!If these people put as much energy into leveling up their characters.........

[Lmnopia]

cola is evil it rots your teeth..

[Arcadean]

Ok, this has got to be the STUPIDEST censor yet. I can't say the name of an item (Ice Staff: Dagon) Dagon is censored. What idiots put that in lol.
