Restrictit letter combinations (prob. useless)

[hakundo]

Hey dudes,

while talking to my friend, I recognized that their are letter combinations which are locked.
you cant type the letter combination "ukow" !

i.e. you cant typ: "u kow" , "uk ow" , "u k o w" , "uko w"...
If you try, you wont see anything in the chat window.
Tried with the German WoW Client.
- maybe somebody finds out more about it and can exploit it hard -



German:
Anscheinend gibt es verbotene Buchstabenfolgen.
Wenn man die Buchstaben ukow eingibt, sieht man nichts im Chatwindow.
Z.b.: Wenn man "uk ow" , "u k o w" oder eben diese 4 Buchstaben hintereinander eintippt, sieht man einfach nichts.
- Vielleicht kann jemand daraus einen tollen Fehler im Spiel finden-

Or, maybe your just lagging.

Post a screenie.

How posting a screenshot if no text is visible.
3 Friends of mine tried the same, with the same result.

Try it yourself.

Just tried it, the english client allows "u kow" and "uk ow," I didn't try any others because I know they will work. This is likely specific to your language.

Type that, exactly with the www, and you will get "Unable to send chat to [ ] because your message contained reserved words.

Was tested in a whisper.

you cant say www.mmowned.com because blizz restricts websites urls

Ukow is actually a gold selling website.... :|
That's why... lol

[Equ1N0X]

www.mmowned.com

you can say links ingame, runescape is teh gae which restricts links. only mmowned.com and other known hacxking.gold trading sites are blocked.

[Eskiimo]

AND it gets logged fyi, so don't spam it lol.

[ExplosivePyro]

weird... i wrote WOW, Oh My God! in trade... I got reported for it +3 day ban.... but i still did it.:banned:

[Scrogglez]

you cant say bukow either

[niebezimienny]

Heh this happened to me once, I was chatting with a friend in polish and suddely it blocked the message I sent and it said in red text that my message contained reserved words, that threw me off a bit. It's quite annoying when communicating in other languages than english because your language might just have a letter combination that's "bad". For example -ukow is quite a popular ending in my language, e.g. łuków would mean 'bows' in genitive. Of course noone bothers with the ó and ł so they become o and l, and there, I can't tell my friends about bows

There is atleast 4236 words in WoW that are censored.
List as attachment.

But there's some strange things, saying words like:

Gm
BC
dealer
bong
kkk

are censored.

Dictionary of bad words

Myself i wont keep profanity filter on while playing, but now when i ripped that list, i can see that there's quite much words that are normal in Finland, such as "moro", meaning "hi". Gotta see how much there is while turning it back on

You used to be unable to say anything with mmovi, such as I'm moving.

I think they fixed that, though.
