Just a question regarding the filters on neopets

My understanding regarding the Uncle thing is that it has something to do with paedophiles ? There’s also the phrase ‘say Uncle’ to mean you’ve had enough/end a fight I think? Maybe someone else has a more helpful answer :p

[dissolutions]

is there any filter list or script that will scan for filtered words? it's so annoying trying to guess back and forth when you have no clue what word in the message is the problem..

I cant even use the word basement bc it has 'semen' in it...........I didnt even realize that in my whole entire life until TNT blocked my ass from posting.

Only tangentially related, but "basement" due to 'semen' is blocked in other games as well.

I was in Red Dead Online, and I have this not-so-clever inside joke with my wife that their goddamn game is run by a couple of college dropouts in their basement on servers powered by hamsters. (Because that's a step down from the common joke that Blizzard is a 'small indie company,' since RD would be a smaller franchise than Warcraft in our eyes at least.) So I want to create a posse, which is either a temporary or permanent small group to play with friends. If it's to be permanent, you have to name it. I'm like, I want to call it "Basement Hamsters."

"You cannot use a name that contains profanity."

I stare at the screen.

What profanity...?

Hamsters?

Are these people seriously... Oh ... Oh wait.... Basement... Semennnnnn. AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH.

So, I guess that one at least isn't 100% isolated to JumpStart/TNT's filters.

This said, in 2020, there has to be a way to isolate the word "semen" and the letters -semen- inside another word that's defined in a dictionary and allow it through a filter.

(Thanks for coming to my Semen TED talk.)

Relatedly, this has definitely been linked in other filter discussions (possibly/probably by me), but always good to spread it to people who missed it the first time around.

Not that I'm aware of, but if we wanted to start compiling a list of known-filtered words, I have no doubt someone on CK would be happy to put together a TM/GM script that would attempt to do just that.

i thought maybe JN has a list of what gets filtered out but maybe i'm wrong.
