Language filter

The network has a language filter. A message that contains a blocked word is stopped before it reaches the room, and the sender is told. The filter looks through simple tricks such as swapping letters for look-alike characters and adding dots or dashes between letters.

Where it applies

• Room messages and private messages.
• Nicknames and room names.

Rooms can turn it on or off with the mode +L where the network allows.

If your message was blocked

Rephrase it. If you think a word was blocked by mistake, tell an operator so the list can be corrected.

Who maintains it

Network operators keep the list. Room operators cannot edit it.
