found this little oddity today...

There's something in-game blocking me from saying "my Talbuk owns" .. after much testing, I've found that it's the "uk ow" part that does it.

Using this string in most chats just acts like i never sent a message, and using it in a PM gives me an error saying "Unable to send chat to <player> because your message contained reserved words."

I felt a little dirty being forced to use "pwns" in order to express how awesome my Talbuk is. :)

I support this message.

However!

The reason it's blocked is because the phrase contains the name of a disreputable site which is blocked by our spam filter. There's no getting around it, but might I suggest:

"My talbuk is incredibly handsome"
"My talbuk has lots of friends and knows some pretty cute ladies"
"My talbuk is a great artist but probably needs some more figure drawing practice"
"My talbuk represents Blizzard in a professional but casual demeanor"
"My talbuk is awesome at Expert Drums in Rock Band"

Watson here will tell you that I never can resist a touch of the dramatic.

My talbuk is a nerd.

You're joking... Legitimate messages are being blocked because of one disreputable site?

Or we could let a site that provides services that violate our Terms of Use advertise freely. There are hundreds of these sites that are blocked from ever being said in the game; this one combination of letters happens to be in "my talbuk owns". I'm not sure why this necessitates outrage.

My Cobalt War Talbuk has a beautiful mane and a cute little tail. His legs are long and slender and he's incredibly swift. My talbuk and I have been exploring Outlands together for over a year, we've slain dragons and captured enemy spies, even saved does in distress! I will always keep my talbuk in a special place in my backpack.
