words changing in ingame messages *NO BUG*

Just wrote an alliance PM, which included the word "join" several times. When sent it's been auto-corrected to say "attach" instead of "join", and I've tested this in a personal PM to another player which also replaced the words the same.

My alliance message now does not really make sense.

Is this supposed to happen or is it a bug?

it's always done it. I was under the impression it was some sort of script stopping measure.

Re: words changing in ingame messages

Maybe you had to much beers while enjoying the sunshine.
But did u do this while you were on a phone? Perhaps it was the phones auto correct functions
Even if you hear a bad story about me, Understand that there was a time I was good to those people to, But they won’t tell you that...

Re: words changing in ingame messages

Nope, nothing to do with phones. Everything to do with this game being old, from a time before certain security measures were built into interpreters.

Femme's answer is close enough. This has been the case since the early - though maybe not the earliest - days.
Will have a look at the long list of filtered words, see what should stay and what can go.
