WarriorSoundwave Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just leveled my new Moa and decided on the perfect name: Picassowary. Why? Well a cassowar is a very vicious bird and Picasso was a famous artist. Combine the two and you get a bird who has mastered the art of fighting: Picassowary. Except one thing, I can't name it that because it's detected as profanity. So please, if possible DE, tweak the profanity filter and maybe make it less restrictive. I don't know if it detects profanity in other languages or what but it's pretty frustrating to have the 1 name I want for my Moa to be blocked when it has no profanity in it (to my knowledge). EDIT: Oh Picasso. Took me a while to notice that lol. Yeah DE you gotta work on your filter. Which is silly enough because there are far more inappropriate voice lines in the game but the name of an artist is not allowed. In an M rated game.

Pizzarugi Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It's because "ass" is part of the name. The profanity filter is way too sensitive. I understand not wanting to name your pets after bigoted slurs or hard curse words (ex. F**khead), but blocking a name because it happens to unintentionally contain profanity is a little excessive.

LSG501 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Don't expect it to be changed anytime soon... we've been on about this since PoE You can't (don't think it's been changed) even use Balla (you can use bala) in the name even though it's an actual zaw part...

LegendaryNeurotoxin Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Ohhhhhhh.... yeah ass isn't so bad, doesn't Little Duck drop an S-bomb? I thought this post was gonna request a crackdown on truly offensive names that evade the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got Kuva Liches out here saying they're going to hammer our reproductive organs. I'm getting tired of DE's standards tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You compare two different things here tho, you compare ingame swearing vs people who insult peopel in real life in chat, why it's often so confusing to handle it aswell. Ingame it is for the story often even if it is inappropriate, but do such in chat to real people it is a different story. Same goes for weapon naming simply, seeing how people abuse such to make odd names ot insult people on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrymm Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Basic information Developer(s) Digital Extremes Engine Evolution Genre Third Person Sci-fi Shooter Model Free To Play Website https://warframe.com/ Release Date Microsoft Windows · October 25, 2012 (Closed Beta) · March 25, 2013 (Open Beta) · PlayStation 4 · November 15, 2013 · Xbox One · September 2, 2014 · Nintendo Switch · November 20, 2018 ESRB Rating Mature 17+ ESRB is Mature 17+, all of the in game content stays well within that guideline. Honestly, I doubt they really give a rip about minor swear words and the like either, and it's not really some kind of intentional double standard. The thing that makes stuff like this come up is the utter lack of ability for the automated filters designed to weed out the worst of the internet to see context, which unfortunately keeps it from doing it's job because you most likely won't be able to name your moa "Robot Assassin"(boring, but reasonable enough), but can almost certainly name is "Robutt Twoarsein"(I dunno, it's not like I've tried), which is precisely the kind of crap these filters were meant to prevent. A little more effort to make it work the way it should would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
