The [Official] Fix the Filters Thread + Poll! We Can Make a Difference!

[Rod Rego]

We all know the filters are not easy for us players to use, and I think we can all agree on that. Lately, the filters have gotten even more strict, and we seriously have to do something about this.

Vote in the poll, and I will send the results, along with a list of solutions for the problem, to the CP Staff.

°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°

Here's the ideas (let me know if you have some. I'll add them to the list):

Word Replacement
Rather than not letting the message appear, they could replace the "naughty words" with other things. "What the banana?" and "Holy apples!" would be a nice replacement. This would obviously be a lot harder for the CP Developers to update, but it would make the game funner and, hopefully better.


---- or **** Replacement
This, and the word replacement idea, might not be the best way to overcome this problem, but blocked words could be replaced with ****'s or ----'s. Many popular multiplayer games, including Runescape use this method, and it seems to work fine.

This game is designed for younger children, but I don't see what's wrong with this idea.


Blank Replacement
Rather than blocking out the whole message, like Club Penguin does now, it could just block out the word that was blocked. This might be a little more confusing for others vewing your message, but you can see that one of your words was blocked, and retype it, differently.


Filter Message
Rather than changing the filter system, this idea could be a little easier, and just as effective!

If you type in something that's blocked and press enter, a message in red text could appear inside your word bubble that says "Message Blocked" and you could try typing something different. It could even expand to say "Message blocked because of: hell" or whatever word you typed in that was blocked.

Only you would be able to see the message, obviously.


Filter Message, Take 2
Rather than typing the whole thing out, and pressing send, this would be easier!

If you're typing something, and you type a blocked word, the word could automatically turns red inside the textbox, so you know the word is blocked, and you have to replace it with something else.


Smile Replacement (Idea by Puppy Love64!)
Instead on blocking out words, it turns them into smiles like we have. so if u say, "Holy Cr**" it turns it into "Holy ", or something of the nature. It would make it funnier, and look cooler at the same time. But it might be too hard to do, but it would be kool if they did.


Not-So-Safe Chat
They've created a chat for smaller kids (the Ultimate Safe Chat). Can't they create one for teenagers who don't feel like struggling with the filters, trying to have a simple conversation? They could have you enter your parent's email address, and have your parents give you permission to use the Not-So-Safe Chat.

The chat could include your basic filter (blocking out cuss words, etc.) but still let you use numbers, NAMES OF COUNTRIES, and words that aren't words.

Funny Phrases replacement (Idea by Puppy Love64)

How about when you say a bad word, then it turns in to a funny phrase like "Im a pickle", or "Im a clock". It would make it funnier. But, on the downside, penguins would say it all the time. Hope CP considers this idea.:D

Great ideas! I especially like the 2nd filter message and the not-so-safe-chat. It's easier for lots of people who are having trouble with the filters. Maybe CP will consider it. I hope so!

[Babidu]

Because I actually don't play club penguin I would say no.

[PenguinClub]

I liked it and I put it my signature.Thanks :)

[Laxster™]

FIX THE FILTERS!
Nice Idea Rod! I like it!

[Reece15]

---- or **** Replacement
This, and the word replacement idea, might not be the best way to overcome this problem, but blocked words could be replaced with ****'s or ----'s. Many popular multiplayer games, including Runescape use this method, and it seems to work fine.


that is a good idea but i can find out what the word is by the number of letters and other penguins mite lern what it is and the filter wont matter or they could put spaces in betwenn the letters

[BubblyPengy]

Great ideas. I think that we should all send these to CP..

[L3von]

No. The filters are good right now. I don't have any problems with it. Also I don't like the sigs for supporting the idea.

[FunnyBoy]

I really like the ideas.

Just a few days ago, I met catsmile on CP, and it took us like 10-20 minutes just to talk and for me to find out she was telling me to go on a bribble. I finally got on the bribble, but the filters are way too strict.

I always had an idea for the filters. You know how if it filters, it does not show to other players? Well I was thinking that if it is going to be filtered for other players, and should be filtered for you too, so it wouldn't show. The only problem with it is that if your taking a screeny for an avvy, or making a movie, the thing you might want to say might be blocked.

[BubblyPengy]

Yeah I've thought about that too.

But, the movie thing, you could say it before and notice and then you could just change what you say

[jfpopjr009]

I agree Rod we could make a differnce as 1!

[BubblyPengy]

We should all send this thread into CP, maybe they will consider it!

[Plazma811]

I would want a not-so safe chat where it hardly blocks out stuff, but if you see someone talking about personal info or cussing, you can just report them. I hate having to struggle getting through the filters

[BubblyPengy]

I wish that if something you said didn't show up, it wouldn't show up on your screen either.

[Topoftheline]

Yea, what's the point of reporting people because of these strict filters?

[Mr Booshkah]

Yes, this is a great idea. I always haven't been able to understand why CP doesn't block phrases like " ABC to get funky with me" and blocks phrases like "At last year's summer party". The way the word filters are right now is the only thing I don't like about CP.

[Danzo]

Yes, this is a great idea. I always haven't been able to understand why CP doesn't block phrases like " ABC to get funky with me" and blocks phrases like "At last year's summer party". The way the word filters are right now is the only thing I don't like about CP.

I agree, my friend said once 'hey, i liked that party we had in our igloo' and it didn't come up! its weird

[BubblyPengy]

why shouldn't "at last year's summer party" show up?

[flyleafdude]

Well I think it's a great idea, but I don't know, when I talked to Club Penguin the other day, they said that the filters could not be fixed. I wanted them to let my name go through (For some odd reason they blocked my username.) and they said that they couldn't do anything about that. So I don't know.

[flooger100]

Yeah my friend Penguboy was trying to ask me a question about a glitch and he got mad cause I never answered!

So he got all mad and stuff.

These filters are ruining relationships!!

[Rod Rego]

I know what you mean, flooger!

Be sure to tell all your friends to vote in the poll! I really think we can make a difference, and change the filters if we put our minds to it. :)

[dier325]

Great idea rod, how did you come up with this?

[wweadam]

They have made a ton of numbers in the ultimate safe chat, but there is still more to be fixed! :| Im adding this to my signiture.

[Tortoli]

You should emial this to CP. they might use one of your ideas.

[Rod Rego]

You should emial this to CP. they might use one of your ideas.

I explained in the first post that I am going to send the
poll results, along with my ideas to help, to the CP Staff. ;)

[QAZAR]

I don't think there is a problem with the filter, but I like the idea of putting "message blocked" that way you know that it is blocked.

Many people get angry because they think other people are ignoring them, when they are just getting blocked.

Although that would cause people to try and get around the filters so that the message will not get blocked.

[Gamerboy]

I think exchanging bad words for other words will mean that everyone will know what words mean what and then would start using the replacement words solely so everyoen knows what their saying.

I like the idea of Message Blocked, but just make it so others would see Message Blocked and you will see what you said.

Then people won't think your ignoring you.

The thing about just replacing one word also is that it would still make sense and little kids could take to people to find out what they may be saying.

[Bad Boy]

Blank Replacement
Rather than blocking out the whole message, like Club Penguin does now, it could just block out the word that was blocked. This might be a little more confusing for others vewing your message, but you can see that one of your words was blocked, and retype it, differently.

If you're typing something, and you type a blocked word, the word could automatically turns red inside the textbox, so you know the word is blocked, and you have to replace it with something else.


I like the 3 ideas above, you should definitely e-mail this to Club Penguin staffs.

Or at least filter lesser, so what I type, others should see it. I don't know for now, but months ago, any sentence I type in that includes the word "where" cannot be seen. And there are many other words, but I can't remember them.

Good luck, Rod Rego.

[WickedPlans]

I don't want to see words being replaced by other funny words or smilies as that simply rewards the person sending the message. I want to see the messages blocked completely.

As a parent, I want my kids to have safe chat (not ultimate safe) and I would rather the filters were too severe than too lax. Everyone on this forum is over 13 so I do not believe that the opinion of this board is a valid representation of the overall membership - including the parents who pay the membership fees of the younger children.

Filtering is a minefield and I don't envy the staff who are responsible for it. I appreciate that it is frustrating but please try to see the bigger picture.

Different servers for different age groups would be impracticle and impossible to control. I have a penguin and go online to play with my kids. Different servers would mean that I could not play with them unless I created a false ID claiming to be a child, and that is completely unacceptable.

[Makarov]

Maybe now since Disney owns CP and this will make updates better, maybe this will hapen. :D

[smartguy911]

They totally need to be fixed, and disney will only make this worse:P

[freedomfighter707]

Good ideas i really hate how it is now its so annoying and I cant even have a 20 message chat with someone in under like 10-15 minutes!

[BubblyPengy]

ok i was just having a restaurant in my igloo, and i couldn't advertise! i had a friend get on and tell me if anything i said went thru. grar!!!

so they are 100% ruining my life.

[Super Gil]

if you make them repleace Fu*k with banana, then it would only encourage younger players to swear more both in the game and in real life.

[Rod Rego]

if you make them repleace Fu*k with banana, then it would only encourage younger players to swear more both in the game and in real life.

I don't see how you think that, but that's your opinion I guess.

[Gamerboy]

I don't see how you think that, but that's your opinion I guess.

Want to have a banana with me?

It would pretty much turn into ingame slang, instead of people actually the bad word they'd just say banana instead. Like WickedPlans said as a parent, it would be seen as victory by the person trying to swear or fun and then in real life kids will go around saying 'Want to have a banana with me?' and then when the other small children are like "What's that", the kid would say the swear word. Maybe some pretty amusing misunderstandings and a bigger sale of banana's, but most parents wouldn't be happy.

I think something though like Message Blocked either to everyone else, but the person who said it or if it only told you that your message didn't get through the filters. This would help as it would avoid people getting annoyed for not responding, when the person thinks they have or are trying too. The reason why I suggested two reasons is that they have different advantages and disadvantages:

1. Message Blocked being displayed to everyone except the person who said it

Advantages-Others know when you are trying to respond
Disadvantages-May be seen as cool and people try to trip the filters like that
-Other person still may not know it

2.Message Blocked displayed to the user who said it

Advantages-User would know to rephrase what they are saying
-After he had rephrased it people will know or can say sorry filters catching me out
Disadvantages-Could make some people rephrase words such as phicking to more obscure ones.

[<><:riley4lyfe:><>™]

I want the filters fixed. theyre too much of a problem, hardley nothing goes through.

[legojedi]

I agree the filters need to be fixed. What's the point in swearing about a game with virtual penguins?

I still don't see where the banana thing is going, but lets just drop that conversation, lol.

I think the solution to the two problems with those ideas is just have "Message Blocked" appear in your text bubble when you say something bad.

[Mr Booshkah]

I think the "message blocked" idea is great. I hate it when I'm talking with my buddies on CP, and I say something but I'm not sure if it showed up on everyone else's screen. Then I ask if what I said showed up. After that the whole conversation gets kind of awkward. I would feel alot better talking to someone if I knew what I said didn't get through.

Half the time, phrases like "Did that message go through?" don't even go through. I know what you mean, lol...

[RED_BLOBY]

i agree! this is a good idea. the filters are to strict!

[Bad Boy]

Half the time, phrases like "Did that message go through?" don't even go through. I know what you mean, lol...

Yes! At least we should know whether the message get past the filter. Or we'll have to stand there and try to type everything. And then we get confused.

[doodlesinclass]

I definitely want to "fix" the filters! I know CP's main priority is to keep things safe, but the filters are getting out of hand, TOO MUCH SECURITY!

You can't even have a decent conversation! And when your talking, you don't even know if the other person even sees what your saying, it shows up for you, but not for them!

I hardly ever get to see the friends that aren't allowed to go on my chat, because if I try to talk to them on CP, whatever I say is blocked out!

I'm sorry but CP has GONE TOO FAR!

I support this 100%!

[Plazma811]

Many people get angry because they think other people are ignoring them, when they are just getting blocked.

i agree, but if people DO get around the filter then we just report them...

[Chainzz]

Yeah, i would like the filters "fixed". BTW, "holy apples" made me bust :D

[Frozen Angel]

Yeah, I WANT THE FILTERS FIXED! Once me and my buddy (she's not a forumer) were planning a day and time to meet again. But I don't know why but the messages we said to each other just didn't get through! We were so frustrated. My buddy lost patience and just left! :mad:

[smartguy911]

Yea, what's the point of reporting people because of these strict filters?

Seriously, The report button is pretty much useless with these filters-_-.

[S7udjack™]

i love you ideas, especially the filters, they have gotten to strict, ppl cant even type my whole name now because it has a 7 in it!! it only comes up as sujdack! :(

[Abbx]

i love you ideas, especially the filters, they have gotten to strict, ppl cant even type my whole name now because it has a 7 in it!! it only comes up as sujdack! :(

yeah. When I try to say L3von, i say Lvon instead now too. These filters outta bring numbers back. It doesnt help much to keep'em away.

[S7udjack™]

yeah. When I try to say L3von, i say Lvon instead now too. These filters outta bring numbers back. It doesnt help much to keep'em away.

yes i know, it dose more harm than good.

edit- wow the poll is a landslide!

[McPinkyMcPie]

Awsome ideas! I realy like the '*' idea a lot of people use it on forms why not on online games?

[Hockeyfan]

I'd still be playing Club Penguin if the filters were better.

[Bellito]

CP's staff would have to be insane to not implement these ideas, SUPPORThttp://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3184/alertzy2.gif

[FireBlaze]

Fix the Filters! Yea you heard me I think this is a great idea.

[coolmanos]

yes! I totally agree with u! when ever I try to say something, it blocks it. I support u 100%!

[chess123mate]

I wish I'd seen this thread earlier - I recently made a new one complaining about the fact that nothing I said went through (I could prove this with a friend who sat on an adjacent computer). I said "tested" and "Mr Booky come here" -- neither went through.

Anyone notice that noone ever says anything? It's ridiculous! The only people who say anything are talking about love of some sort!

If CP doesn't change the filters, I and I'm sure many others will stop playing CP. And that is truly a sad thing, because CP is a pretty good game.

I kind of feel sad that such a game is going to waste since chatting is near impossible. If they don't implement at least one of those methods...

[Bellito]

I can't even say "SPORT LIFE JACKET", it's insane.

BTW, if you're going to use the "Fix the Filters, Click here to cast your vote" sig, you should include a link so that people can actually click it.

[Rod Rego]

Let's try to get over 200 votes for yes. We can make a difference!

[BlâhMân]

I just voted yes :D

The filters need to be fixed, I don't like them the way they are now.

Btw, did you finish the Video?

[Rod Rego]

I just voted yes :D

Haha, believe it or not Rod, you are making a difference.

:D

[Puppy Love64]

I haeve another idea. It just struck me.

Funny Phrases replacement!

How about when you say a bad word like dip sh**, then it turns in to a funny phrase like "Im a pickle", or "Im a clock". It would make it funnier. But, on the downside, penguins would say it all the time. Hope CP considers this idea.:D

[tobymacfreak]

Love the ideas.

And also heres an idea. When someone gets banned shouldn't they get another change? Because a while ago i was banned for a couple days for swearing by accident. [i didn't really know how to type and i said a bad word by mistake] And i really should have gotten a second chance. Anyway hope you like my ideas!

EDIT: We are talking about club penguin right not the boards?

Yes, we are talking about Club Penguin.

Do any moderators or admins want to comment on this, I wonder?

[Dunya13]

Cool, i said yes.
Club penguin word filters are WAY too harsh. :rolleyes:

[Funpengiun]

i voted tow time ;)

ONTOPIC: there are 164 yes answer 36 to go!

[chess123mate]

Every time I try and play it, it is so annoying. I know I've said this before, but I'm saying it again anyway.

I was trying to tell a friend through chat (though we could've talked verbally anyway) that I was looking for the new pin (though I actually already had it, lol)
But then I asked him what it was, and then I realized I had the pin so I said "Oh, I already have that one" and of course it didn't go through because "one" is a number. But as usual, I didn't know until my friend told me what ever I typed didn't go through. Once again, if my friend hadn't of told me, I would never have known that my statement didn't go through.

Here's my question, which I've been wondering about lately.
Do you think that the filters are making people play MORE or STOP PLAYING COMPLETELY? For you, do you play a lot more with these "wonderful filter adjustments?" or are you playing less and less because of it?

At first I thought people would stop playing, at least more people would, but the numbers of people playing in CP seem to be increasing if anything. What do you guys think?

[frost360]

Because I actually don't play club penguin I would say no.

why would you be on the forums if you dont actually play?????

[Zywlom]

The filters are kind of annoying, I try talking to my sister some times and she cant see 75% if what I post up, The filters need some sort of better system because the current one isnt that great.

[dragoon132]

I definantly support this idea 100%. I can't even say to go to my igloo for a water park! COME ONE CP! :mad::D:mad::D

[Mrblack dud]

I have to update my siggy and I support you 100%! Another suporter! :)

[Rod Rego]

I have to update my siggy and I support you 100%! Another suporter! :)

Great! Thanks for the support; we really need it! :)

[Peng_boy]

i agree with you I don't know if they didn't reply or if it is the filters

[Mike 92]

I think they need to be fixed as soon as possible, I remember this one time I was in an igloo for about 20 minutes trying to say "football" then the person got mad at me for not talking and removed me lol. Also they should bring the numbers back, but if they don't want penguins giving out their phone number make it so if there are 7 digits in the number you are saying filter it.

[Lans]

If they just tell you your message was blocked, it would be so much simpler.

And I like word replacement. :D

[Bellito]

I'm all for the word replacement idea, too. Heck, just about all of them are good!

Wow, using this sig doesn't help if I only post once every two weeks… :|

[Hellopayton]

How about we....

Muahahaha

ATTACK THE FILTERS!!!

Nah, then we'd be psycho. I like all the ideas, but ClubPenguin thinks all their players are babies. :rolleyes:

[Bellito]

In some respects, yes. They advertise the game as being for ages 8-14, then make filters for only 8-year-olds.

[Keedoe]

Fixed?

As long as we can use commas, fullstops and numbers Ill be happy...;)

[Bellito]

Don't forget apostrophes!

They aren't fixed yet. BTW, CP would be really stupid to not listen to their users. Whoever voted NO is also stupid. This better work!

[~Mits0~]

I like all the ideas! I think Club Penguin should fix the filters. Awesome thread :cool:

[oddball127]

we got a problem. in order to acully change the filters you need to have AT LEAST 30% of the club penguin population. Penguin Forums dosnt even make up 1%. sorry to bust yalls bubble

[Gamerboy]

Yes 200 probably makes up around 0.05% of active people at a guess maybe less. However, most of them haven't expressed their ideas either way, this means that a higher percentage would support some of the ideas.

Personally, looking from the point of view of CP and parents, if there was a message to you saying "MESSAGE BLOCKED" would help a lot for most people. Then people would know to rephrase there message so other people could see it. There are disadvantages to this, but it would save a lot of problems for CP users. Trying to make any drastic changes aren't likely to work as there are safety concerns and other issues that prevent these ideas.

[Balthasorus]

Yes! The Filters where ok at one point but the Clubpenguin Staff has went way to far

[Marlinfish]

the filters should be set with a better blacklist

[bartilom]

-_-Great ideas! I especially like the 2nd filter message and the not-so-safe-chat. It's easier for lots of people who are having trouble with the filters. Maybe CP will consider it. I hope so!

why i can a member?? replay pls

[Mr Booshkah]

Ok, guys, 1 more vote! WE CAN DO THIS!

Before Rod sends this in I would also like to share a thought that came to me the other day. It was about the people who make Youtube videos of CP. If the messege blocked thing came up everytime you said something that didn't go through, then making good CP videos and all would basically be impossible. But there is a simple solution to this, just make an option on the Account info thing to turn the messege blocker on or off. Simple as that.

Now who's gonna be the honorary voter?

[iamyellow]

I don't agree with the not so safe chat for teens because teenagers are well we're still young and some teens do get sucked into pedos. But it's true that the filters are, some of them are stupid.

[cpperson29]

They should also stop with the 24 hour bans for cursing!

If no one sees it then whats the harm!

This could've very well already been mentioned, but oh well

CP could do what MC does, and change the text to PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING.

Well, I suppose it'd really pretty much the same thing, but oh well...

[DirkD]

Yeah, i get really mad at CP for this! One thing, i just ask someone to go to a bribble and I have to say stuff like get on bibbel one one one one one, etc.! This causes a problem for me when I try to have a conversation! I like the not-so-safe chat, they should make something for teenagers but it has to be parent confirmed or little kids could just say not so safe for them, so these ideas are great Rod!:cool:

[Falcon3]

i think this is a really good idea. i dcant see why people would vote no for this

How would you know which words were swears until you typed them?

[FINDINGFOUR EST. 1937]

It's so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shout: I barely even play anymore. You cant even hold a real conversation,and one of my real life friends got made at me for a couple days because she thought i was ignoring her. It's kinda getting out of hand.

[Mrblack dud]

Sign me up man! I totally agree! :D

[Carljeff]

Its past 200!

Did you send it yet?

[flippysam]

WOW great ideas the only one i think wouldn't work is the 1st one, but the rest are cool ideas

[blahdu]

[skater boy]

Cool Idea!
Im Ganna Ad It!!

[link4562]

yes is winning by a landslide

[Orangemarker]

I have to disagree with the "***" or "----" ideas. In another game I play, they use that system, except with "###" People say things like "### you, you ### you little ###" For the fun of it. Knowing most of the ClubPenguin community, people would misuse that system very often.

We made a difference.

Club Penguin said they're making a new filter. :D

[Subata]

i like the holy banana idea! holy pizza a banana is being thrown at me! - laughs - it is really cool i would really laugh at someone saying holy spahgetti sauce!

This is great... except when? It's now 2008, and I still can't talk. I tried saying "too bad". Didn't work. I tried saying "I can't talk" didn't work. I tried saying "no talk" it worked. Of course, the only reason I know this is because I have a friend on an adjacent computer.

It wouldn't be nearly as bad if it at least told you "blocked". The thing is, I think they've gone into the extreme method: ONLY accept the entire thing if each word is recognizable. I couldn't even blend the words to get my msg though!

I don't know why I'm even trying to play CP anymore... it's not fun. Really, it's just plain annoying, frustrating, and otherwise a tiring game. Unless you're just in it for the games, there's no point in it.

I sadly remember the good old days (really old by now) when we could talk freely. I remember awesome hockey rink games... I remember having fun saying the score since there was no score board (still isn't). Too bad there's nothing like that now, eh?

[Foosa805]

I am so sick of the filters. I just want to kill the person whose idea it was to make the filters dumb.:mad:

[Batman_Freak]

Good idea, hope this really happens!

[Szaman11]

When i try to say something in my language - it doesn't show :confused: i only try to say ,,cześć" (on CP ,,czesc"), which means ,,hi".

[Samwesty999]

but what words are filtered that aren't bad/swear words etc?

[Cent5050]

Dont bump old threads .

[Purple Pirate]

I agree something definately needs to be done. And we should be able to put punctuation in our messages. With full stops, colons, commas, dashes and sem-colons all blocked, as well as Paint by Letters books typing it for us, young kids on CP might not be able to learn punctuation easily.
