hello my child is able to freely disable this in the interface settings and profanities are constantly tossed out in all versions of WoW? Why is this not an internal option under account settings?
I also would really appreciate words like “jew” be filtered as well because no one should be refering to anything RL in this game while that filter is on.
The game shouldn’t replace a parent’s active role in monitoring what their children are exposed to, nor how often they can bend the rules.
Time to be a parent?
It’s the parent, not the companies responsibility monitor children that are given an account with a parent’s credit card.
Parent up!
The profanity filter is not there so folks can break the rules. It is there because some people can’t follow what they agreed to. You will want to be sure to report any persons who do break the rules by right clicking the line of chat and using the report features.
As the parent, you also have total control over what your child has access to. Part of this is on the parent to make decisions about what their child is able to play - or not play. While the filter is useful, if your child disobeys you, there are other options. Parental Controls allow you to set playtimes, set purchase/no purchase options, and set social options. I believe you can turn chat off or limit to friends. You can even get playtime and activity reports.
If your kid is online and is tech/internet saavy enough to figure out how to disable the filter, and has the proclivity to do so… I guarantee they have seen far worse things online than some bad words typed out in WoW chat lol.
What does that even mean?
Also Jew isn’t profanity, a Jew is a person who practices Judaism
And you are able to freely tell them not to, and take the game away from them if they don’t obey.
We will see I already grounded them for disabling addons I require
its hard when its a simple interface setting
Is your child on their own account with parental controls enabled? Because you should be able to control their social settings through the parental controls page.
Makes me glad I made the decision to never have kids. The kid may not have disabled the addons - blizzard likes to do that on patch day if you’re careless with clicking the alert that pops. Grounding the kid for misclicking something seems a bit harsh.
This might be my favorite forum exchange of the year, so far
uh, you what?
You’re a bad parent.
hey quick question for all the parents here
my kid parsed 30% on heroic dimmy last week. which of his privileges should i take away, and for how many months
Yeah, definitely wouldn’t want to subject a kid to this person’s antics. I know I’d be a bad parent, straight up. Not going to have a kid resent me for what little time I have left on this planet.
