Profanity censor is too broad and censors "tg?"

The profanity filter is too broad. Depending on the circumstances, it will sometimes censor game words like “contarius”. Most importantly, it censors “tg?”.

what does tg mean? why is important

tg is short for teamgame

When putting together a lobby we send messages to players who might want to play a tg

So I message someone “tg?” to see if they want to play a teamgame.

That’s just one example. The profanity filter is too broad. I’ve not compiled a list but there are probably at least a dozen unique instances where something is getting censored that is either ordinary language or even game language (like contarius). The filter also seems context dependent, so it won’t always censor contarius, which makes it hard to produce examples, especially since examples occurring in the middle of a game are not easily remembered, since the priority at the time is playing the game not recording the filtered words for a bug report.

Overall not a major issue though.
