Clbuttic censorship mistake: Can't talk about the Steamworks 2011 Brochure

Borchure, Brochure, Brochure!

Hope repeating this dirty word won't get me banned from the Community forums.

Anyway, I guess pointing someone towards this official link is no longer possible.

I assume this was an attempt at blocking a mild, German slang term for streetwalker.
But if Steam starts censoring any and all cursewords from any and all languages, communication in just about any language will not longer be possible on these forums.

In German it's not a mild slangword but rather very offensive.

But I understand what you mean. I remember one MMO where we couldn't write "anyone got a healing potion?" in chat without "pot" being censored. ^^

It's exactly as offensive as "♥♥♥♥♥" - wondering if that is censored as well.

Yep, well, alright then.

But maintaining a dumb, multi-language blacklist is going to end in utter chaos. There are so many terms in one language that are identical to curse words in another.

And blocking them and all words that contain them is going to result in absurd censorship as seen above.

It is now no longer possible to link to an official document on the Valve servers on these forums, try clicking it:

The partner site (http://partner.steamgames.com) is much more interesting, especially as now anyone can read the docs and download the SDK.

Well, yeah ... but that wasn't exactly the point of this post.

4chan is also blocked.

I think there is a few reasons for that to be blocked XD

Great, now my initial post sounds either obscene or insane.

Anyways, glad that mistake was fixed and let's hope the blacklist won't grow into a word-eating monster in the future.
