The Chat Filter is operated in NFMM 24/7 to prevent players from sending inappropriate/offensive words/phrases from the chat lobby. However, there are numerous ways to evade the Filter. Curses, spamming and flooding results in a warning and black-screens, which can even disrupt gameplay. If the player violates the filter the second time, the game shuts down for the person who has violated the Chat Filter. Unintentionally, a word may have the filtered word inside it so extra caution into what the player types is needed.
Violating the Chat Filter once in NFMM will cause this message to pop up.
Violating the Chat Filter twice in NFMM will cause this message to pop up. Notice how warning is spelled wrong.

- There have been many mistakes about the chat filter, as it usually mistakes innocent words for some of the filtered words above.
- A good example is the word "Grape", which is mistaken for an offensive sexual word, similar to "Circumfrence" and "Trapezoid". Other mistaken words include typing wolfage (notice the word f--) and NFME's full name, NeedForMadnessExpert (the last letter of the word 'Madness' and the first two letters of 'Expert', when joined together, makes the chat filter violate the player for typing 'sex'.)[1]
Evading the Chat Filter

 Warning: | Do not attempt this, as you will be looked down upon. Need For Madness Wiki is not responsible for any banned IPs' or usernames, as you have been warned. |
- Typing ENTER after each letter of the word, spelling out the word in quick succession.
- Spacing every letter.
- Using the indirect version of words.

- Using symbols instead of letters, such as @ being a and ^^ being M.
- Using another letter with the same shape, like B being ß (ALT + 225), and E being Σ
