Why are quotations censored in game chat?

[Unholypenguin]

Title says it all, but to elaborate...

if you put something in quotations in team chat, or lobby chat, its censored. it just simply doesn't show up.
for example, in a game today:

I was playing on a strange, and t hrowing down a portal. And i typed
"come with me if you want to live"

and it was censored. like it wont even give the **** like it normally does with censored words. It just didn't send the message at all.

Why? To what purpose does this serve? I mean, I guess i understand the rationale behind censoring curse words, even though i dont agree with not having an option to turn off profanity filter, its like ok whatever sure.

but quotation marks? whats the point in that?

I said something the other day that the game just swallowed and didn't send and I forget what it was

I noticed that too. From a programming perspective, double quotation mark is usually used for indicating strings of text in code. It can be meddlesome to deal with in user input, so it usually is escaped. I assume in this case they forgot to test that case and quotation marks cause an exception that is caught, but causes the text to not display.
