They probably won't close the uncensored rooms. They need to give everyone a place to chat.

The question now is ... are they planning to (eventually) use this new profanity filter in all their games?

That's what I wonder, too. Maybe they've added this extra step (the warning) to the profaners (is that a real word?) so that those in the chat rooms don't have to continually look at the ***s all over the screen (IF they have turned on the filter). And, for those who don't know they can turn on the filter, it can be quite a shock to see some of the profanity scroll across the screen.  Kids use Pogo, too.

So maybe they're planning to switch all games to auto- filtered. But will they close the "uncensored chat" rooms?

This is definitely about chat, not the game.  As you can see, the game will allow me to click the play button to spell the word slut, but when I type the same word in the chat I get warned.

It makes sense that this applies to in-game profanity.  I've never tried to play a naughty word so I wouldn't know, unlike Stinky.

Not in game, chat specific.

The image/example they used (above) is in a chat room, not a game board. Other players in the room can't see your game board, only your chat. This has to be chat specific. Regarding swearing in a game, all the word games have certain words blocked. If it's not allowable, you can't enter the letters and then hit "play".

Ah, so this profanity filter has to be for chat then!

Who knows, they should be more specific.

Amen to this. There are many things Pogo is vague about, and this is one of them.

Yeah, they should have been more specific about it. Someone needs to test this for us!

Why have these rooms then if it is for chat?

Are you sure? Why is Pogo_llama's chat word censored then?

Who knows, they should be more specific.
