Blizz needs to implement the profanity filter in both directions since I am sure that the original posters issue happens more often than not. Not a hard issue on their end and hey, we could all use a little self censorship once and a while :-)

I think that this should be a prereq for anyone that has kids on an account.

Well, I think that Blizz assumes that you teach your children not to swear so there 'should' not be an issue with outgoing chat. As far as inbound chat there is an option to filter the inbound chat for profanity.

I meant the addon, sorry, I should have been more specific. And I agree, parents do need to teach their children not to swear.

Eloquence has a "mouthwash" function, and can be set to do it to outgoing text as well as incoming.

but how do you open a .lua? which program do you use?

Any text editor will work. Notepad on Windows is one.

Here you go: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/pottymouth.aspx Just a very simple addon. Will only censor outgoing text. remember that if the person using your account has any clue about addons that they can just disable it and bypass the filter. Also, it is a little overzealous in the filtering so add or remover what you want from the wordlist.

you absolute star!

I just copied over a list that I use for other applications that I write. I found it on the web a while back and just update it where needed.

It's fine.

It was not said that he was a parent or a guardian so I assume he's not.

The best advice I can think of is stop sharing your account. It's against the rules anyways.

You may not share your Account or password with anyone, except that if you are a parent or guardian, you may permit one (1) minor child to use the Account instead of you (in which case you may not use that Account at the same time). (Section 1A of the ToU)

It's fine.

As for the addon, I've seen a similar request once on the WoW UI forums, and I don't remember any specific addon named in that instance. My guess is that such an addon doesn't exist. I don't know how difficult it would be to create, either.

Hmmm.... not a bad idea for an addon really. How many people claim that they have a potty mouth and do not always realize what they are saying. You really only have to match outgoing ChatFrameEditBox text to a wordlist and replace the offending text with an alternative. Will look into it a little, no promises.

There's no addon that I know of that will do this. The best advice I can think of is stop sharing your account. It's against the rules anyways. Then make sure you keep you cool while playing and think before you say something. Then go wash that minors mouth out with soap. Bar soap not the liquid kind. :)
