Thank you Gree for protecting us from the horrors of such words as crap, poop and
Any word that contains a C, a U and a M right next to each others. Can't have people running around in game using such horrific words as circumstances .

Some filtration systems are pretty funny like that. I once worked on a game that the filter wouldn't let you use words like cockpit or hangar; the game's theme was planes. Yay, technology!

well, this was really helpfull, you already acting like an obsolete Gree employee
ok, another one
some numbers cant be posted, like 717
so if i scout someone with 717 in the coords ( my neighbour f i ) i post the report and get 3 stars at the first set
717???? really??????, is it a mysterious hidden message????
enlight us, without the "YAY", and do tell, what solution is there, and when, for those ridiculous blocks.

Really Tadaah? Is it that difficult to run a word like, say cucumber through a dictionary and see that yes, the longer word exists, and that it is not a bad word.
The truth, though, is that it is also easy to bypass the system. Since accented words aren't detected, one can use a ç instead of a c in the f-word, or a î instead of an i with the s-word. So, on the one hand, we see legitimate words **** out, and on the other we see obscenities anyways.
And of course, none of this stops people from writing truly offensive things that don't involve an obscenity.

The "7" apparently looks too much like a "T" and the "1" too much like an "I". You can figure out what supposedly is being blocked.
Also, apparently 822 is banned because the "8" looks like an "A" and the "2" looks like an "S". Seriously?
Nothing like posting a scouting report where the target's location is **** out.

It's more the inconvenience and a minor annoyance than anything else. I'm fine with GREE censoring out certain words. But they do seem to have gone overboard in censoring out a word that is part of another word, or when a bad word stretches over two words (for example "isn't it", where the censor thinks it is a reference to a part of the female anatomy), and certainly censoring out numbers is silly. 717 and 822 are more likely to be a coordinate in the game than a way to get around the filter.
And of course, some of the truly offensive stuff doesn't get filtered. But that's why there is a reporting system.

Yes, because crap and poop is so bad. Better tell your parents.

It's as annoying as replacing all the # with @ in someone else's C++ program to troll them.I've started a new War of Nations wiki, help out with it:

Try typing in the cords -422, -1423....and see what happens.
Evidently -422 is censored. Horrible word!! Highly offensive!!
