Chat Filter Improvements

Hello,
I'd like to suggest some minor changes to the chat filter...

I've studied it for hours (well not really) researching blanked out words and their definitions (whilst learning a new vocabulary in the meantime :()and have become professional at avoiding the filter (not in a bad way) but of every possible annoying scenario that I have encountered, the worse is
-----
Innocent Bystander: "Why is muffin blanked out?"
Sky: "First four letters. I don't suggest looking it up. I regretted it when I did..."

{Then I received a letter from a player I had muted earlier.}

Muted Player: You're right. I looked it up and now I regret it.
Sky: ...
-----

I don't think this would be hard to do so my suggestions are as follows:
(I'm saying the words for educational and helpful purposes, not with bad intentions.)
----
The words below should be removed because they teach others dirty words that might later be used when trying to bash someone.

Remove "cum" because it blanks out "circumstance" "circumvent" (especially annoying when I'm citing a rule)

Remove "muff" because it blanks out "muffin"

Only blank out "ass" when it's by itself; otherwise it blanks out "class", "pass", "grass" and others.

Remove "co.ck" because it blanks out "coc.ky" (I just muted someone for saying 'eating meat makes me *y' when everyone was talking inappropriately and he mailed me saying 'I said co.cky... dang filter'

The words below should be added because then they would filter slang words.

Add words that are not filtered when used with a capital. There are many words that correspond to this.

Add "fck", "fu.k", (had to add a period or it's forum filtered) "fvk", "fvck" because they are slang for the obvious word.

Add "sht", "shet" because they are slang for the obvious word.

Add "btch", "bch", "bich" because they are slang for the obvious word.

Any suggestions, comments or feedback would be appreciated.

Re: Chat Filter Improvements

Removing the c word and m word are not necessary it's just simple to have them when they are used by themselves removing things from the filter is not smart. Now adding what u said really does no good bc people will just use foreign languages

Re: Chat Filter Improvements

That was how I learned new vocabulary and I thought it might be helpful to prevent others from going through the same experience/learning new words to use
EDIT: If someone uses a foreign language to swear and no one knows what it is then it's easy to ignore... however I still moderate other languages so if they cuss in another language then I know

Re: Chat Filter Improvements

The reason "ass" is filterred is when the -ass is followed by a space.

So technically what is filterred is ass_ not ass (though the word only has 3* when it is filterred)

But yes, I'm a fan for most of these words, it seems like more of a deal is made when random parts of words are muted than would be if there was no mute on muff or cum etc

Re: Chat Filter Improvements

filter could be altered to just filter the words themselves, and not when in conjunction with other characters.
