    1) Nigerian. Today I wanted to introduce myself ingame and when I wanted to say "Hi I am from nigeria" It sayed "*****ia"
    2) Gay. How is "Gay" an insult? I think its an insult towards homosexuell people to censor gay. Ive never seen someone getting called "Gay"
    3) Schinken. I cant even write my team name in chat, because of sCHINKen. Schincken means "Bacon" in german btw

    These all could be potentially used to hurt members of the community, especially the first two. I have seen so many people in the chat get angry and say racist and horrible things to others, and the first two are included. You have to remember, not everyone in this community is as old as most of us, and we're trying to accommodate for every type of player, including the younger ones.

    1.) If we uncensor "Niger", players would immediately use this as a insult again. I don't believe there are too many players from Nigeria, so we can handle that they can't say the name of their country.
    2.) This has been discussed somewhere already and gay IS often used as a insult.
    3.) I think we could uncensor Chink, I never saw someone using it as a insult.

    The only one I see possibly getting uncensored is number three. Number one was explained above, and number two is censored because players use gay as a derogatory term with other words. Examples: GAY F**, f***ing gay iso noobs, wow your gay, etc.

    Alternatively the word "Nigeria" could be put on the whitelist for censored words

    I personally think people that say niger as an insult need a grammar check, because it's promounced nye-jer, not nigg-er.

    So nigerian is offensive to younger people? how is that possible? I get that people can say something like 'stupid nigerian' and i do understand that that is offensive, but I have NEVER EVER seen someone use that.

    also, if these words could in fact be potentially used to 'hurt' members, then we could just censor every single word because it could be used offensivly :V People can make words offensive in any way they want.

    You potatoe parrot (Offensive! let's just censor those 2 words!)

    Some words should be/stay censored such as the usual sh**, f*** and ****** should be warned for or looked at if it is ment offensive. with this I mean: if for instance someone says; your my ****** (ment friendly), then it can be used. but if it is used offensivly, then censor it (obviously)

    as for the word schinken. THE HELL !? Why censor that?! it is like you censor the word because it contains chink. but just as the word ******. I have never ever seen this word being used offensivly.

    What I meant was is that it can potentially be used in a harmful way, and younger kids don't need to see that at their age.

    That is true. but some 'younger kids' really don't know the definition of these words. I had that with some curse words. Some younger people just think that it is a fun word, not used offensivly. but i can deffinetly see what you mean.

    The only thing is, if for example they start using it for some reason, they will just get themselves into trouble both in real life and on the servers which is also unnecessary.

    You'll be able to say Schinken in an hour, but not Nigeria. If I fixed Nigeria people would be able to say Nigers, Nignog, or even ******s since the double letters aren't accounted for.

    Why does brawl care sooo much about the little 9-13 kids? There are more important things to do than censoring every word which could be used to swear. Why do we have to censor all these words in general? Im alright with f*ck, ni*ger and ch*nk but not with the others. Also, if I would have kids and I didnt want them to learn these words, I wouldnt let them on the pc; its the parents fault.

    There's something I have to tell you.
    You're not the center of the world.
    Everyone is equally considered; a good server group doesn't favor 15+ players because they can handle swear words. A lot of people are younger gamers, and like 80+ percent of players ARE 9-13.

    must agree with that, and even I usually recommend this server to the kids in my school. so there is quite a lot of younger players.
