Kicked by swear filter?

[n00bification]

Alright... the swear filter isn't anything I ever even think about, because I choose to treat people with respect whether they deserve it or not.

Anyway, a few minutes ago, I'm in a nice friendly game with wolvie... and I say the following:

"me either... after over 300 games I can't keep track of my opponents names" (this was, of course, in response to an ongoing discussion about whether this was our first game together or not).

I'm immediately dropped from the game. Now, maybe I'm being dense, but I don't see a problem with the above statement.

I also find it hard to believe that after playing somewhere between 300-400 games, that I was randomly disconnected for the very first time ever. I don't ever get disconnected... has never happened before, and I don't think it happened here. I think the swear filter decided to look crosswise at something completely innocent I said and booted me.

Is there any possibility of having the loss removed? Wolvie can attest that I was in not in a bad position in the game at all (personally, I'd say I greatly had the upper hand, but that's subjective).

It might have something to do with your connection or the server. Yesterday I was playing and not even chatting and was disconnected... but I think everyone else was too. I came back in and everyone was in the lobby.

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong in that sentence; probably a server or connection hiccup. It happens. That's one reason that many people think the ratings are more or less meaningless.

I don't even pay attention to the ranking or how many wins someone has. There are so many things that mess that up such as the filter and people cheating.

I find it hard to believe that after all those games you hadn't been disconnected. ;)
I got disconnected a few times, but usually against clan members, so no big deal.

well, the only way to test it out is to repeat the sentence in the lobby and see if oyu get kicked

like i did.... i spent a good 15 minutes testing this one out:

i was in a game and my clan member asked how it was going. So i replied by telling him what units i had left and what units my opponent had left. I got booted when i said what my opponent had left. At first i was kicking myself because i inadvertently abbreviated assassin with "ass" so i was fairly ticked. When i went to go test it in the lobby, i found i could say "ass" without getting kicked. So i repeated what units my opponent had left and got kicked again. This is when the 15 minutes of testing came in.

Anyway, to get to the end of the story, i found that you can say "ass" as long as it's at the end or the begining. If it's in the middle of a sentence, you get kicked. For example, you can say "ass ass" because both words are either a the end or a tthe begining, but you can't say "ass ass ass" because then there's an "ass" in the middle.


is it just me, or is that copmletely messed up?

The filter doesn't like you. :)
