I belive the filter should be changed to simply replace any filtered words with *s instead of disconnecting you from the server. At least one person is pulling off a scam to win matches by exploiting this feature. The player asks his opponent what A/S/L means (Age/Filtered word also meaning "gender"/Location), and if the opponent responds, then they are disconnected allowing him to automatically win. Unfortunately I did not write down this player's name.

The filter should not be able to be exploited like this.

If you fall for it once, it is a learning experience.

Any times after that is stupidity. Be glad you learned from it already, and teach others to not fall for it.

But the filter is not going to change. Suggesting it is useless.
