I saw this post about a profanity filter for an mmo chat.
In my case I've got a game played in public, mostly by kids. The only text they can enter is their initials A-Z, 2 or 3 letters.
With only 2 letters I think I'm safe. But, I'd prefer 3. Alas, 3 letter nicknames would allow for such names as ASS
, FUK
, COK
, DIK
and SHT
, CNT
etc. although the last few are more open to interpretation than the first. I'd just like not to get negative feedback from parents or other adults. I saw the lists linked to above didn't include FUK
so I'm wondering whether anyone knows of a list that only includes 3 letter words, maybe left over from arcade machines or something.
Note: I've displayed the game in public before with adults with a 20 letter limit and without fail 1 or 2 people will put 8======D~
or some short rude sentence. While I don't care with adults, the next event will be 5-15yr old kids, their parents, and also adults without kids. So if there is a list of 3 letter words to avoid I'd allow 3 letters. If I can't find such a list I'll probably just go with 2 and avoid the problem.
Anyone know of such a list?
