Most of the complaints that we have been getting lately were related to chat, and people misusing the chat box. We care about keeping Jawaker a friendly environment, and that's why we decided to revamp the whole chat system.
The chat is now a totally separate subsystem that can be managed independently of everything else; this gives us a lot of dynamicity, something we really care about in Jawaker. The chat now is filtered against a
smart list of
bad words that not only catches the words in their original format, but also catches variations of the word. The word is then replaced with stars. This list is constantly being enhanced and extended.
To protect our players from people who repeatedly misuse the chatbox, we implemented a policy by which a player who is reported for language misuse too often is banned from chatting for two weeks. So make sure you flag players who annoy you with their language by clicking the
next to their name on the game table!
Another small adjustment, now you can see the chat as a viewer of the game, but you still can't participate :)
