NightSnake Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 So is 'ego', 'could', '10' , 'deal' and 'twister'. I'm sure there are others, I just can't think of them off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then my mom names our first woolly mammoth "Wood for days".......Yes, it was a male XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkfields Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I did wonder if announcing the bad word filter might result in more bad words being used as people tested its limits 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyless1 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Slowly but surely all words are getting narrowed down either for violations or just a bug. For instance. I can't type the word "raw" as a search to transfer items such as raw fish and raw meat or raw primes as well. Used to be able to. Can't as of today. Makes it difficult for quick transfers if you just got home from work and you're trying to load food for starving animals. Regardless of situation it still narrows down affective use of in game things only you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if this is true and I can no longer sort by 'raw', this may be the straw. This just made the game so very much harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that's 1/3 less letters, and should be the same result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raxus Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Words like 10, could, for can't be used. Now the word "he" is banned. How are we gonna chat referring to another male person? I can't even say "look for the obelisk" because the word look is banned. There are more words banned that don't even resemble anything bad. Like blood which is part of the game like blood packs, blood wyvern. Cement is also a banned word. LOL ia banned but LMAO isn't. I'm getting frustrated cause I can't memorize all the banned words and I don't even know what the new banned words are. Are you guys making ark1 unpleasant for us to stop playing this?

It's only Ark that seems to have this radical of a filter. then you all should be complaining to where you will get some sort of answer. https://support.survivetheark.com/hc/en-us In the upper right corner of the page, you click log in, then click on submit a request. That will open an actual ticket to report a bug with the chat. This will get you a more definitive answer than going here on the forums, where none of us have a view of the internal workings on this. If someone did that, they could come back here and give us a run down on the wildcard response. This will help us focus our energy in the right places.

Muucow Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 lol "crack" .... literally one of the most used buttons in the game is a filtered word now, they really just need to allow us to opt out of filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
