October 2020 Paleontology Conference

[edit]

Previously, the article claimed that Twitter was responsible for inappropriately blocking words at a virtual paleontology conference. The article cited indicates that the conference was held on a separate platform, which was responsible for the blocked words. Twitter was only used as a platform to discuss and gather the incorrectly banned words. I made the correction, but I feel like my writing was still a bit clumsy; feel free to change it further if it doesn't read well to you.

in modern versions of pokémon games, you cant name a pokémon "Pocket Watch" because it contains the substring "t Wat"(twat) 174.65.193.13 (talk) 06:50, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Filtering in Roblox

[edit]

I am rather surprised that Roblox's infamous filtering isn't noted on the page at all. I propose adding Roblox as an example under "video games." —Mint Keyphase (Did I mess up? What have I done?) 10:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the example, and what sources have written about it? Belbury (talk) 11:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... I find it plastered all over reddit and various social media websites, but this only gets a passing mention in press articles (i.e. "They ridiculed it for having overly strict chat filters, which they said sometimes censored innocuous words..." In Bloomberg here, ironically followed by "...yet didn’t catch acronyms such as “erp” (for “erotic role play”), and for failing to detect avatars with absurdly large genitalia or simulating sex in digital toilet stalls.") —Mint Keyphase (Did I mess up?
