🤬PottyMouth

A functional actually-usable Webfishing chat filter

Wanting to comfortably communicate with your fishing pals shouldn't come at the cost of opening yourself up to hear anything from everybody online, or having to try and awkwardly figure out what your pals are chatting about because some regular unoffensive words are bizarrely being censored???[^1]

This mod aims to overhaul the mostly-broken and carelessly-thrown-together Kindergarten-grade stock filter!

Usage

After installing the mod you can simply (re-)enable the in-game swear filtering in the settings, as usual. If you want to pause PottyMouth, just turn the setting back off. No special hotkeys or menus with this one.

PottyMouth works primarily by replacing the ^{astonishingly ineffective} default wordlist with a saner and more comprehensive alternative. The mod also applies a few fixes/behavioral tweaks to the swear_filter module which is, again, notoriously unusable and disruptive to communicating with your fishing pals.

Roadmap

• Wordlist refinement (please leave feedback!)
• circumvention prevention
• Multi-lingual support
• Severity customization

Known issues

• Certain words matching multiple times may obscure the entire sentence unexpectedly
  • This happens due to how the vanilla swear_filter works 🤷
  • This should mostly never happen
