No, it’s too difficult to code specific things to get censored, so it’s easier just to do a general number filter.
Im not here to do the mods job.
Im not here to argue whether a woke society is negative or not.
Youre the one im responding to.
Kids use just about every form of media.
Their parents, I HOPE, which why they should do their jobs as parents.
What? Do you even know what I’m talking about.
I get tons of messages from xbox telling me someones been chat banned whenever i report them for being out of line.

So untrue, I could do this in my sleep, and so does filters on twitch and YT and I think Twitter
I believe it was Comedic_Hermit (You know, the mod?) who said something like, “They want to reduce the likelihood of someone committing bad behavior.” Hence why the chat is there, but censored. People will find a way around the chat censor, but reducing it for the thirteen year old who barely convinced his parents to play under the grounds that nothing bad will show up, is pretty useful.
That’s hilarious! Just checking here. Are you a teen by any chance?
But on another note, I find a lot of so called adults childish when it comes to Halo. Mature language does not make somebody an adult.

Two of the three stated platforms are notorious for having hate raids join streams and spam hate messages designed to avoid chat filters.
It was a big enough problem that a large amount of twitch streamers had a day off strike in protest about it. Which is pretty monumental considering it’s a decentralized and non-unionized force. It’s pretty tough to get groups like that acting together without a pretty large issue.
There issue had been somewhat addressed but you can do a quick Google search to find out its only been mildly reduced at best.
So yea, I stand by my statement. It’s too hard to code for every case, so a general filter is being used

Consider yourself lucky. I rarely get any messages, and when I do they don’t confirm anything. And if you report on the support site, they’ll probably come here and complain that they got banned after quitting “only 18 matches, but that’s because the challenge system sux!”.
How can the parents censor everything, realtime, in the chat. The parents should monitor the child, but they can’t helicopter everything in the game. Having a censor for the chat takes away some of that stress of your child (who might not even be thirteen) seeing or hearing things you don’t want them to.

Thats because they are using specific filiters lol what.
Lol, then maybe their offenses weren’t that bad.
Its called, giving a “filter chat” switch and “turn chat off” switch, and parental controls.

You: It’s easy to code specific filters for chat.
Me: The two largest video streaming platforms on the planet can’t effectively accomplish coding specific chat filters effectively. So a general filter is being used by 343, as specific chart filters are difficult for numbers.
I don’t understand your next response, I’m sorry. (Not trying to be negative or anything. I just genuinely don’t understand what point you’re trying to make or support)
No, they aren’t. Go into any comment section and you will find bots advertising for something: subs, clicks, hating Jacksepticeye. The filter isn’t doing its job. It shouldn’t be letting these bots comment. The creator can decide on some things in the comments, but Youtube should be monitoring the bots that just bait children into clicking. Also, if they didn’t censor the chat the ESRB would come right up behind them to wallop them, as they want the game rated T they have to keep it as clean as possible. Whether or not Halo benefits from a Teen rating is probably best viewed by looking at other areas 343i (and Microsoft) have been advertising to, such as cooks.
Heheheh 80085
Ahh the days of being a little kid with a calculator.

Use a less condenscending format next time then, please.
I’m saying they got around it because the filters only blocked certain combinations of characters and didn’t account for the many ways it could have been gotten around because the filter setters didn’t.
I could probably still spell Four-Twenty or FourHundred and Twenty in halo infinites chat if I wanted to.
They do it all the time for videos to be available in other countries, and certain words will turn your comment into a phantom comment only you can see for a while before being deleted permanently.
So yes, they are.
What happened to the ESRB stating under every rating Online Content Not Rated or whatever they say.
ONLY halo fans are buying the halo cookbook, you gotta be some type of crazy to buy a cookbook based off another product that you don’t even know about or like, it’s a memey marketing strategy.
I apologize if you think I was being condescending to you, it’s not my intent. Please quote where I was though. I don’t think I was, but maybe I’m crazy.
And that’s the whole point of the general number filter. You could still try and figure out a way to type 420, but it’s harder than if there was no filter. I speculate that is “a feature not a bug” as the saying goes.
My original statements and supporting statements are simply that I support a broad chat filter because of the games target audience age range. I’m not saying I support a number filter, but I am presenting the reality of why it exists (old school 1337 speak).
Okay.
Meme formats come across as extremely condenscending in debate. Kinda like hinting towards name calling in a way.
I’m just saying, people are gonna get around it and they’re being counterproductive by assuming a giant blanket filter with holes in it is gonna cover most if not all the possible ways to say something while not hitting innocent words.
I just dont like filters being forced, and it would feel much more fitting if it could be disabled but enabled by default.

Well, what about the TV show? The upcoming Battle Royale?
They do that to not get sued. But they also still have the game censored because in the event a child decides to play mulitplayer, the government will slap the ESRB for not trying to cater to the child. I believe the act for this was FEPPA. I think there was a Game Theory on it.
So why do the -Yoink!- bots and sub bait channels get through? Wouldn’t they be censored?
Because YT doesn’t care, quite simply, they aren’t losing data (their money maker) over it.
And theres not a reason they can cater to both adult and children through use of default settings and warnings… why?
Also, ew mattpat
Their “favorite” creator on the platform, Mr. Beast, has called them out on it. And Jacksepticeye shouldn’t be getting harrased just because his father died. Not to mention the Mr. Beast impersonators baiting children into subbing to terrible bot accounts.
Again, ESRB needs to be strict about it because otherwise the government will step in. We don’t want the government to step in. This is why some games have the option to turn off blood and gore, its because they are rated M anyways. Halo Infinite had to tone it down though because they wanted to keep a T rating (likely for esports).
Just saying, if you want a decent video explaining it, he has one.
To the person with the difficult-to-defend position, meme formats come across as condescending maybe 
. Otherwise it’s an effective summary tool.
I wouldn’t like filters being forced if this were a game made for adults. It’s not.
