Currently the word filter doesn't allow much in the way of customisation, I think this is a fantastic opportunity lost.

When filtering words at the moment everything is simply replaced with "***." I would much rather have the option to selectively replace words and phrases. Highlighted in a different colour so I am aware a text replacement has taken place of course.

Right now I can only think of a few of examples: -

"Quitting eve" with "Scam contract to follow"
"ISK doubler" with "You're an idiot if you send me money"
"Fire sale" with "contents of contract may not be worth the price"
"PLEX" with "PLEX [To be bought and sold on the market only]"
"billion" with "thousand million"
"trillion" with "billion"
"alpha clone" with "scrub"
"girl" with "Guy In Real Life"

So much comedic value to be had.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

Please Note: Any advice given comes with the caveat that nothing will be suitable for every situation.

I have already got a browser add on that does this, It makes the Forum so much easier to read.

One major problem with this.

The current filter makes it very difficult to doctor logs or screenshots, something like this would have no such issues. That could allow someone to make it look like another player said something they did not say and they would have little to no way of proving their innocence.

As I said in OP, replaced text would need to be a different colour. More than anything for the person who had the word filter on to know what the other person has actually typed is different.

What occasion are you thinking you might need"proof" someone has said something where you couldn't just mock up the "evidence" with about five minutes in Photoshop?

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.
