Guys, there is a very big difference between saying cuss words and saying something derogatory.

Well, we still have to take care to abide by Fandom's terms of use:

Also, it seems like the filter has not had time to activate yet.

Eh. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with this situation, but I have to say this outcome is better than many others I was worrying about.
Thanks, Ant.

A better solution would be for people to use even a slight amount of self-control.

That would have helped at the start, CC, but we are unfortunately beyond that point.

I mean, have you SEEN humanities track record with "self control"? We had such a thirst for sugar that we unintentionally induced the enslavement of a native populous to cultivate the sugar cane in order to placate our collective hard on for sugar!? Im pretty sure "Self Control" is shit reserved for the exceptional, possibly Akira Fudo, but MOSTLY the exceptional...

I agree with this, as it's the best option we really have at this point.

I have a single question:
How many words and languages can it detect? Because what avoids people from cussing on their home language (Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc)? I mean, that could happen

I don't believe that cussing will be what is banned, only derogatory slurs against other religions, races or sexualities.
Which are mostly identical regardless of language.

The words that they have said they'd instantly ban for, so the ones that were likely filtered, are, and I quote:
- A word that starts with N that is racial in nature.
- A word that starts with C that originated as a crass term on female genitalia
- A word that starts with F that refers to someone of a specific sexual orientation.
- A word that starts with C that is often used to insult men who support feminism

I don't know that that last one is, but that just means I'm unlikely to say it.
Obviously no one tell me, this is just a commentary

That strongly depends on how you define "enemies of the wiki" - there might be individuals that disagree with our ratings and have their own beliefs on what tiering/abilities a character has that would personally think the wiki is bad but nothing above "i hate this wiki". Then there's people like this guy which aren't even susceptible to reason and try to avoid conversing their unrealistic and juvenile goals of attacking the wiki for minuscule reasons at hand.Asuka the Demonic Empress said:
Otherwise, an unfortunate caveout of having a large community is having a larger quantity of drama that scales to its size - a portion of which is drawn from individuals attempting to raid the wiki for petty reasons at hand rather than the recent occurrences. It's best for us to move along with our normal day and simply report any of the 'enemies of the wiki' that intend on instigating drama/harm to the wiki if reasoning with them does not work.
Aside from that, it's a sigh of relief to have a filter that significantly (or at least by a decent amount) reduces the chances of established members with little-to-no bad history getting banned for practically nothing aside from quoting a post. Hopefully nobody ends up the same way Kepekley23 had.

Actually I can technically add more slurs to the filter if necessary, but it would likely be too complicated to add them in every single language spoken by members of the wiki.
We have quite a lot of Russian members though, so I suppose that should be fine
