A suggestion to improve role playing.

For instance, in some games, i can't be called naossano, because it is considered as nazi related.
So the filter can't let me enter words that are not offense, only because the bot finds it too close to his wrong words list.
On the contrary if you forbid only exact words, you could have easy abuse. (l0l.. instead of lol for instance)
Even if it starts with good purposes, the langage filter can't be really effective.
(Preventing good words or allowing bad words with little changes)
Even with an human instead of a bot, it can't be abused...

Agreed and I guess that's why I was thinking this could be useful as a way of turning lazy acronyms (lol and such) into shortcuts for real words.
In that sense it wouldn't be a ban of those words, just a lazy mans communication/emotive system.
Perhaps in the 3D era acronyms like "LOL" and "ROFL" could actually even trigger an animation instead of the character saying anything at all.
I know the original suggestion was too harsh (I'm pretty sure it was a joke anyway :p) and I know that a lot of people are sick of others trolling (myself included) but I think that the suggestion has some merit when you look at it practically. Not everyone 'Lols' because they want to sound like a troll, some people are just used to typing like that and I don't think they would mind it triggering something with more character. People who truly want to lol instead of laugh could still do so with either with a different spelling or /o.

Is that not casual where you're from? That's how we all speak round here :P

That's a really interesting idea - along with other "flavour animations" for things which people currently type out. As far as I can see, it's probably doable as well. It might need a special way of typing, like "/lol" or *lol* or something, so as not to clash with any other words with "lol" in them... of which I can't think of any. Not sure if anyone would want to animate a genuine "ROFL" though - but perhaps a "LMAO" could be useful for ghouls :)

Unfortuantely not. I live in a former convict colony and the language quite often reflects that perfectly. :P

I agree with this wholeheartedly. It would be great to see people actually laughing when such things are typed.
Through a more used 'flavour animation' in Fonline would be /cry.
I'd LMAO at Ghouls laughing their ass off.

I used lol as an exemple.
I don't care if the guy lol.
He is out of his character...

i know, i was just running with the example and I'm sure there are lots of other shorthand acronyms that can be used as shortcuts for more 'wastelandish' terminology, but which could also still be used just as now, out of character.
