FAQs
Why use an automatic filter?
Automatic filters cannot detect any time of swearing, and must be kept lenient enough not to be disruptive.
An automatic filter is a way to educate about the rules. If a well-meaning player swears, they will see a warning. If someone tries to work-around the swear filter, you'll know that they know about the rules but are violating it anyway
