Other common phrases with vittu include voi vittu ("Oh f***"),

I'm not quite sure it's inappropriate, unless we have a lot of 9 years old finnish players?

It's a fair complaint.

It was ruled some time ago that using the world 'nigger' was inappropriate, in accordance with U.S cultural norms. To then argue that Voi_Vittu is inoffensive because it is in Finnish would be at odds with the precedent set by the former ruling.

It's a remake of a popular TA map. You can't go changing the name now.

I think we should ban all Finland players because their presence creates profanity on FAF, not a big loss just a bunch of Chosen's smurfs.
It is crazy though that this map name slipped under the radar for so long, I always found the name a bit annoying to say.
On a bigger note, perhaps Finland should have stayed part of the Russian empire, because the western strategy of destroying culture through increased sensitivity to things that absolutely do not matter, while missing the big picture appears to be working.

Hey it doesn't hurt to think of others and not just yourself. The rules state that profanity should be kept to a minimum, having it in one of the maps that now got "promoted" to a ladder map (and thus more visibility) should be against the rules. I reported it, since we can't expect the admins to know every language. What they do with my report is up to them. Last I checked the map was still there.

There's a map in the new ladder map pool called TAG_Voi_Vittu which contains Finnish profanity. If anyone's interested in cleaning this up, that would be cool.

I gave this thread a more generic subject in case there's more maps out there that people would like to report.

i suggest you move to the UK, they will soon filter the web for you. (or they may give you a job).
but thanks for the finnish lesson anyway.
