Words added to the hard filter for netspeak:
jk
np
ur
gtfo
idgaf
ikr

Quick check because I don't know how the filter works entirely, but:

1) Does this shit STILL prevent ghosts from using the filtered words despite that they're not even IC/in the round?

2) Does this mean I'm going to lose my entire message to the filter if I write a bunch of stuff but accidentally have "np" instead of "no" somewhere within it?

yeah your going to lose your entire message.

1. Shouldn't. If it does it's a bug, and you should report it. Deadchat should only be using the shared filter, which is currently empty on production.

2. You get your message sent back to you, so you can copy and paste that and edit it. Not really lost, but I know what you mean.

I don’t think “ur” should be hardfiltered. What if I want to talk about Ur, the ancient city of Sumeria and one of the oldest cities in human history?

I had a gimmick with ur of a robust ancient soldier

is the game of ur even any good i find it hard to believe they made anything good back then

kinda dumb that np was added, very easy to miss the "o" key and hit a p meaning you have to do the message again when everyone knows what you meant. Should be coded to just hit np if it's in an isolated message,
ie.
"Np"
Not "There are np melons in the fridge"

No NP-hardness allowed.
Literally early 1971.

the filter should elongate common abbreviations that aren't also words in their own right like hos, ce, etc.

Nah, job names get shortened like this all the time in real life, it's totally normal that it'd happen in 2550. (VP, MD, CEO etc..)

Ur is a real word roughly synonymous with 'primal/primordial.' Banning it is stupid, I've used it before when I'm feeling dramatic as chaplain.

its also stupid to ban "XD" because it won't let me name my ethereal Betelgeuse XD anymore
