Best Posts in Thread: Removing "Eggplant" filter

except most players won't understand why its a thing.
Honestly, remove it. looks dumb and frustrates people because they can't actually say a problem with the server without being a joke

 

+1 If I wanted eggplant for lag, I'd type eggplant

 

I remember the day it was added, and I never want to see the day it is removed.

-1

EDIT: Uh, pretty sure you weren't around "at the moment." People spamming lag was a huge issue in meep back then, and if the filter is removed it could cause a huge issue again.



.

 

If this isn't accepted meep will continue to lose players thus ending meep forever.

 

It has 672 days I have suffered the torment day and night eggplant, eggplant, eggplant. It mocks me when ever I get into the world all I want to express is the lag that troubles me but the eggplant will not go away.

One day I hope for the eggplant to be removed so we can all have freedom of speech and shall be haunted no more. Until that day comes I shall forever dream. +1

 

STOP

it's so negligible, oh so negligible. nobody will see it and think "wow im staying on this server bc they have a filter that changes lag to eggplant xDDDDDddd". You have to realize that this is not going to have much of an effect if it's removed. You'll be like "wow really?" for seven hours and move on.

but it's not funny. it has been two years and now it's so old

It's stupid, immature, and annoying. We have good people like @kcschmidt welcoming new players. tbh it will be a sad day when this filter brings in players, but that day will never come.

It's confusing for new players. It makes us look like stupid little kids. eradicate.
note: lol that post seemed insulting with the power of 2 seconds' hindsight. it's not meant to offend anyone just to debate a little

 

Oh, well, I was, and I don't remember any "huge issue". What keeps people from spamming it now? The fact that it'll turn into eggplant? Everyone who's not meep-fob knows what that means.

No, it's stupid and annoying, lmao. All it does is confuse new players and make us look like immature idiots.

It doesn't make meepcraft unique (perhaps negligibly), it's just stupid and annoying. We should remove it now, that's the suggestion. New players don't understand it and some will leave because they find it stupid. I saw it happen when I was at tutorial once, someone just left after seeing it.

+1, it has no benefits, and it simply is detrimental

 

Ok here is a more in depth response from me as this thread clearly has taken on quite a bit more than it's really worth.
Against keeping it
- forced joke on newcomers
- what even is the joke it's not funny it's 7 year old humor
- eggplant can be a sexual reference in terms of the emoji
- people just evade the filter
- my words are my words I do not appreciate them being changed
- should have been removed months ago
For it
- a community inside joke (cept it's not funny)
- makes people want to be staff to not have the eggplant filter

All in all it's really time for this to be taken out.

 

I'd like to think that a filter that changes the word "lag" to "eggplant" isn't a special feature of Meep.

It was just a funny little thing to have

 

+1

I never thought this was funny, and also believed the filter was stupid and pointless.

 

i dont even have to type any words. except these.....

 

Oh the irony;

Besides that, I am at a +1 for this. Allow me to explain:

1. I live in Tutorial; everyone knows this. Every time someone triggers this filter, they try a few times more to figure out what in the world is going on. It really is confusing for new players, to be honest. They usually shrug it off, but it is so awkward when you say the word "eggplant" for no reason for the first time.

2. For those that still appreciate the filter, you can simply type the word out. If it is removed as an automatic filter, it will become a kind of legendary joke. Therefore, making it less of a joke, and more of a memory.

3. It can get irritating for current players, who just don't care for their words being changed.

 

if a word makes meep meep then idek what to expect from here anymore

+1 this is v annoying and I want to say lag if I'm lagging. There's an evident confusion problem and all the people who are -1ing won't care after a week.

why are you saying thank u lol ur in the argument too

 

Guysss.
You're fighting over a filter and a word.
Chill out a bit, lol

 

Lol. You are seriously going to start a debate of this nature because I appreciate the eggplant filter? It is something that I remember since the first day I logged onto Meepcraft and it had me cracking up. It is one of the only things that hasn't changed and it to this day puts a smile on my face when it catches me. So yeah, maybe us old meepers would like something to hold onto. Now to address your point; no, it is by all means not the reason why we are doing poorly. In reality, I am sure whether the filter stays or goes there will be virtually no effect on player count whatsoever. Though in my opinion, I feel that it is one of those little things that makes Meepcraft unique (trust me, I'm not the only one ).

Maybe the reason we are doing poorly is because the many members of this community (including yourself) like to set fires on issues that virtually don't matter in an attempt to feel like you are a part of something. It is a waste of time or resources. Not just yours, but the staff who have to read through all this. If you think you are going to help the server by getting rid of the word eggplant when someone tries to complain about lag, then you seriously need a reality check. The actual reason why the server is doing so poorly is at the hands of people like yourself. Many newbies feel intimidated and unwelcomed by the community, and they just end up leaving because of it. So maybe next time you decide you want to help the server by making change, do something that matters instead of merely creating useless divisions within the community. Could you possibly try to be more welcoming next time someone hops online and say hello? Could you perhaps make an effort to help someone when they are asking in shout? Trust me, it will be a much more appreciated and overall better use of your time. This message was a response to you dragon, but I think everyone who feels passionately about this filter being removed and thinks that it is truly a pressing issue should take what I said here into account. Have a nice night.

 

If meep is defined by an annoying filter that half the server hates, and confuses the heck out of new players, then I think I found the reason why we're not doing that well....

 

Never seen so many people upset over one word before
I'm a +1 for removal simply because if an old player wants to say eggplant they can manually type eggplant it's no biggie

 

You make terrible suggestions. And the worst part about it is that you are fairly new and don't understand that these things are what make meep unique. The eggplant feature has been around for as long as I can remember. We are not removing it now.
