Bottom post of the previous page:

With the IC chat filter PR merged, I would like to discuss what we should begin to filter using this system.
Ideally, not much will be filtered. Common netspeak violations like lol, wtf, xd, and so on will go on the list. I would like people to submit other common forms of netspeak / OOC in IC in this thread.

What I am looking for:
• Common forms of netspeak.
• Anything else OOC that should be filtered from IC chat.

What I am not looking for:
• Curse words or slurs - This is IC and we are not looking to be hugbox and censor the speech of others.
• Arguments like, "I say it in real life!" - No one cares that you're socially inept.
• Code discussions - Feel free to make improvements to the system yourself, but I'd like this thread to stay on the topic of how we can use the filter we have now.

Keep in mind that this system is to make a frequently seen policy issue easier for admins to moderate.
I am primarily looking to add OOC terms only to the list. The goal is to not make it some shitty chat filter that censors swear words or other stuff not against the rules.
As it works right now, the filter simply blocks the message that contains the filtered word and tells the player to not use netspeak/read the rules.

There are a lot of silly emoticons but not and variations thereof

Wink emojis are essential to our underground ERPer population

rest are good, sensible to ban "roundstart" but not "round" since it has other uses

"contact the gods"

A new player won’t know what that means.

when i first started playing i didn't like seeing this and it happened all the time
now it barely ever happens and i know it's a very lame thing to police

I escaped some special characters in the filter list and it works now.
It's on Event Hall for now, I will put it on the other servers once some stuff gets fixed.
Added jobbanned and some more smileys to the filter.

Filter now live on all servers, click the spoiler for how it looks.
Keep in mind that this isn't a comprehensive list of netspeak - the netspeak rule is context-depending, and so some words that could have both legitimate and illegitimate uses were not filtered out.
I'll be locking this thread now, DM me if you have any other suggestions for the filter.
