Bad language has always been completely unacceptable on Jawaker. The vast majority of our users were suffering from the actions of a few that were hurting the entire gaming experience on the site. However, chatting is an important and fun tool that brings an extra dimension to the game, so the Jawaker team had to do something.
We initially had a system whereby users complain about this misuse and the Jawaker team would follow up and ban people accordingly. With Jawaker growing at an unprecedented pace, this banning system was quickly becoming impossible to control. So Jawaker compiled an intelligent list of bad words in Arabic, English and "Arabeezy" that the system automatically catches and bans the user from using the chat on the spot and stops the display of the entire sentence containing the bad word. This list will constantly be updated and refined, but we feel that it is a critical part of maintaining Jawaker's reputation as a clean, fun and family-friendly website that has zero tolerance for any inappropriate behaiviour that the majority of our users do not accept.
