Is any body out there? I guess I keep talking to myself. It feels like I’m going insane. I’m talking of course, about the word filters on Club Penguin. They are very annoying, and my friends have retreated to a chat box many times. They are the center of hate for many penguins, and are getting stricter and stricter. That’s to blame on Disney making the age of average players lower and lower. Disney is not all to blame for this, and I’m getting sick of talking about Disney right now. Many of the words I use today are gone, and right now, I’m not completely focused on writing this. There are many thing that are going to make me distracted right now. Whether it be the EMIN3M blasting on my computer right now, the other topics that are going to be expressed in this, or the girl running past my house right now. But the filters on Club Penguin have made me say, “Did it show?” It makes you go insane. Then you have to break it down, and try to trick the filters.
This however is a very good way to avoid getting sued. The filters are made so nothing that could possibly be harmful to young children. Suppose a 6 year old is sitting, with his safe chat, and one of his parents is next to him. They see words that broke though the filters. Their child repeats the words that they saw. They get in trouble. The parents didn’t know that their child would see that. So who is to blame? Who’s to blame for a glitch in the software? Even if it was a hack that someone used, Disney can be sued. Again losing money. This has happened before with other games, even if it is a hack. Look up “Grand Theft Auto Hot Coffee Controversy”. You’ll see what I mean. IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, DO NOT SEARCH THAT!
But part of this, is that I’m getting older. That had all the words I could have possibly wanted when I was 9. Now I’m 13 and my vocabulary has changed for better and worse. While the filters are blocking out words that are stopping many penguins from having a conversation. Some do not even mind. A penguin I asked Pinkiwinki9, and she hated them. Redfooteye, claimed they were awful because numbers were not able to be typed. However that is so phone numbers couldn’t be given to creepy people.
Thank you for reading, I hoped you enjoyed this. Tell me what you think about the word filters in Club Penguin today in the comments.
It isn’t them its you, you baby. Quit worrying about what they do and be Dart. I’m going freaking crazy.

Hi Dart just to make a point on this, how many 6 year olds know their own phone numbers? I for one think that the word filter is pointless and the only reason they should have them is for what we or parents would consider “bad words”. In primary schools teachers disallow online games like club penguin etc because they are online chatrooms. Club penguin defeats the object of a “chatroom”. By the way after I saw your private message on youtube I decided to checkup on your site and saw your post.
