Re: Episode 2.5 Update- Phrased chat option
Interesting suggestions, though I do not believe those words(separately) would be added into the lexicon. Manly because of events in the past that have lead to inappropriate chats.midnightlight03 wrote:i think all these words are perfect but i think we should be able to say: he, she, his, her, hers .
Why have male/female & he/she been removed from the lexicon? - http://www.wolfquest.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=39802WQ Coordinator wrote:While we do understand that the majority of people had been using these words appropriately and had no intent to do any harm or participate in inappropriate chat, there have been too many abuse reports (with proof! thank you!) that led me to believe that removing these words was the next step in trying to move people away from this continued mating nonsense (please see the next topic for more clarification about the mating issue). Sorry if this decision causes trouble for those of you who have always acted appropriately, but we felt this was a warranted action at this time.
Even by removing some common words that could be used inappropriately, we still have well over 6,000 words in the chat lexicon, plus all the word endings that can be added (like -s, -ing, or -ed). Some people are complaining about the constant increase in word filtering, but you're able to type more (appropriate) words now than you've ever been able to type in the past. It really is too bad that we have to remove some words because a few people abuse them, but hopefully the chats will keep improving and will be family-friendly yet still fun.

Re: Episode 2.5 Update- Phrased chat option
It was a great idea to make the phrased chat box an option, and even greater to let the community help out! I have a few words that, after reading through the list on the first post, I have found left out:
Greetings:
Salutations!
Good day!
Hi [player’s name]!
Hai!

No, I don’t think [player] is still here.
General Questions:

Because we are no longer taking suggestions, I'll lock this topic. If you would like to comment more about the phrased chat, please check out some of the applicable topics in the General WolfQuest Discussion forum.
Thanks for the avatar, Silverness!
