Swear Fines FLHook?

[obnoxious1]

I didn't read the entire thread ( some of ya seem to babble on & on & on & on & on...)
Anyway, as far as some type of swear word filter in the server, yeah it would be a good idea. BUT I doubt it would work. I'm not doubting Cannon's abilities, but having been an admin on several game servers, I have always noticed problems with cuss filters in each server that tried to implement it.

1st there is the multi language problem. Yes the server is suppose to be English only, but a group who speak the same language & runs together often uses their native dialect. there fore several dialects would have to be added.

2nd there is the catch word problem. Take the word 'Assimilate' for example, take a way the 'imilate' at the end & whaa-la, you have a bad word. Thus the filter will probably see the word containing the offensive part & cause it to take action ( what ever it is set to do).
There are THOUSANDS of words that would have this same problem & would cause chaos in trying to speak in the server. Unless that could be fixed, the idea of having a cuss filter will not work.

If some one else mentioned this already, sorry for the re-write..

If by local you mean system, it looks that way.
