Hello, I am Galactiq. I am making this post to address some questions I have.
Note: I am not looking for code.
The Overview: I am making a game called Word Master. Within the game you can compete with others to enhance your vocabulary. However, I plan to have a practice mode, where players can learn new words on their own.
The Issue: Essentially, some words that register in the system would be considered inappropriate. I am unsure on whether or not they should be censored in some cases.
My Question: There is a way to search the system for words, which could possibly return bad words. If a player searches for a word containing certain letters, should the returned words be censored, even if not publicly broadcasted to the server? E.g. Player 1 searches words containing ex, and a word such as “sexually” comes up.
Conclusion: Do you think I should remove said words altogether, or simply leave it be, censoring only when other players see?
