After all the choice of including words of sexual/religious/race influence ... should not be tolerated.. believe me or not it can also cause distress to youngsters.
unless you rate this game +18... should be clearly stated whenever you need to enter your nickname.
We are here to have fun not to start controversies
i agree with having consideration for the most innocent among AC players. Even if they shoot people for fun :D
random idea
Import a swear filter ingame that you can switch on and off at your choosing. (Default: on)
Those who don't care about swearing can see it and the delicate flowers can get them filtered, problem solved. ;)
(*** or synonyms or zzz for nicks)
Also consider creating a way for a server to be listed as "Adults Only" with a confirmation of Acceptance of possible offensive user-created content required to enter.
my one real request is to avoid banning religious terms. For me, it's out of respect for those (many, many) who have suffered greatly as a result of religious-freedom-of-speech being handled poorly.... If sexual, racist, violent, etc. names are effectively forbidden, then it would be pretty difficult to make a nick like "jesusisafag" right?
having too much censorship can 'start controversies' just as much as having none.
