E-tard notification

[n0cturni]

I think the E-tard system is great. I think that it is actually pretty funny, but the only thing I think that it is missing is a public announcement or something when someone sets the E-tard filter off.

Solving any kind of confusion: Off i.e typing "ur."

This would be better applied to the swear filter, the intention is as bad as what they are saying. Calling someone a tribal name and having it blocked by the filter with nobody knowing about it doesn't solve the problem, but then again, why not turn the filter off.

I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you saying that if I type ur, not only do I get the "This is a civilized game, blah" message, but there is also a global message that says "Hey everyone, Wedge types like an idiot!"

I don't know about you guys, but I would love that!

I think he means when an admin turns it off using IGSO or whatever it gives a message to everyone "e-tard filter is off, you can all talk like idiots now", although i don't see the point of that really.

[Spartan300]

Doesn't it already do that?

[Wedge]

Yes, it does.

[Spartan300]

Please elaborate on your suggestion.

Ok, I think he wants it to be like this:

You type something that sets off the filter:                                                                 "i r da cooliest haxor and u r a loser"
The filter does its job and you get the message:                                                        "This is a civilized game..."
Then it sends a global message to everyone just to let them know you are stupid:  "So-and-so Types like an idiot!"

I think this would be more appropriate on the swear filter ("So-and-so attempted to send a message containing profanity")  as it would serve a more useful purpose by alerting admins to the issue.

[TheCannon187]

Agreed.

Why not just make a filter that changes non words like 'u' and 'ur' to the appropriate things like 'you' and 'your' ? 

That way grammer is kept up and nobody is left feeling punished or annoyed at having to retype their post.

^^^ INTELLIGENT POST ALERT!!!!!1

I advise basing new material on above suggestion.

[Spartan300]

That wouldn't be a good idea, no one would take time to actually type, and the chat box will be spammed if everyone gets their mistakes corrected.
You also can't make fun of people who spelled critical words wrong.

I retract my statement, antagonizing handicapped people is better.

[Nitramtj]

I suggest it auto-pinking the person, although they might like that...
