Description

Learn how to set up and use the Profanity Filter to remove profane language from chat.


Resolution

If you choose to enable the Profanity Filter feature, profane words will be replaced with an "@" symbol in the chat area.

To enable this feature:

  1. Go into a game lobby.
  2. Select Options.
  3. Under the heading "Profanity Filter," you can choose the strength of the filter:
    • None -- No Profanity Filter.
    • Weak -- Catches common profane words.
    • Strong -- Catches clever use of dashes and underscores between letters that would normally be missed by a filter.
