**Platform, device version and operating system:**  
Probably all

**Screenshot or image:**  
none at this time

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
After purchasing tiers in the new faction and gaining the new emote Bone Set from the Tier 6 purchase, I clicked on the emote :boneribs: and expected it to work. Instead “boner” was censored and no picture came out.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**

Always

**Steps to make it happen again**  
type :boneribs: or click on the icon

fix: change the wording or not take the word boner as offensive?

I hadn’t realized there was a name for it.

We also have the C##katrice in-game still. _Never_ getting rid of _that_ problem.

It’s a clbuttic example of a really poor implementation of a word filter that every developer hears a story about and laughs at and learns not to implement eventually.

Ah, the problems created by implementing chat within your game.

That’s brilliant… Made my day. Its so funny that even in game troops are sometimes censored (eg cockatrice), and you can’t put an ‘s’ before Luther. No such problem with Arcanus who for some reason slipped thru the net 🤔
