Profanity Clan Names, wtf?

[se7enek]

I always, in every game got clan name Analizers or Therapists and i cannot use them as clan names because of profanity check.

Can i create these named clans or i need to buy another domain for like 50$ ??

I don't see anything wrong with it. Then again it seems like nowadays everything you say is violent and profanity, so what do I know?

Well, Analizers is a bit of a stretch but it has "anal" in it.  For the other, put a space after "the" and see what happens.

Analizer seems like what it actually sounds like. Analyzers may work.

But that's obviously the fun of the name. 

See there are many people who are serious in all they do. I'm not, I like to have a laugh. I'm never starting a day thinking: "let's have a serious day". I rather think: "Let's have a laugh today" and that's what a clan name like this is all about

Without getting too deep into issues; the second name can be pretty offensive and traumatizing for some.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good pun, but there are some that just aren't suited to public consumption in a video game, simply due to the issues it'd cause.

I'm the last person that would ever crack a rape joke, but 'therapy' and 'therapist' are perfectly innocuous words. I feel they're simple too common to censor just on the principle that it has a bad word hidden in it. That's like saying 'pass' is vulgar because it has '&#!' in it. It's not even a pun.

True, I guess I got a little carried away with the idea of therapist being a pun of something else.  

My bad.

Noa, please tell me this was intentional.

Granted, but if the clan name in an online video game is just that, there's no way it's meant as anything other than a rape pun.

I'll just say that I disagree, and I feel that making assumptions about people's intentions based completely on the fact they're playing a video game is poor taste.

[Letter13]

Chances are they were blocked because one's got "Anal" and the other has "Rapist" in them.

Assuming it's an automatic script, it probably doesn't care about what's around it letter or word wise.

Some games filter out Assassins in their chat and naming schemes, imagine that when one of the primary classes is in fact assassin.  Profanity filters can be downright annoying at times.  Except for the rare instances where people actually are trying to bypass the filters to make lewd or crude jokes in which case "Hahaha!" but those are rare.

Sorry to hear, OP, but sometimes you just have to get creative to overcome the profanity filters.

It could be completely true that their intentions are honest, but on the flip side the demographic of most video games would generally be male in their teens to early twenty's. I can't speak from a male point of view, but in my experience this age range tends to be on the immature side, finds these types of puns funny and will try to find the work around for the profanity filters their their name just so they say that did it.

An4Lizers

Th3R4pists.


Yu can use these to bypass the automated profanity detector! :3

[OverlordMcGeek]

Just change the wording around. I got something the big C word in it and it seems perfectly fine. No getting past the filters its the straight up word and it wasn't blocked.

[se7enek]

Actually yes, i do know that these 2 clan names i use in other games may be offensive, but in my opinion its better to call a clan "Therapists" then "Rapists" and there is a WHOLE BIG difference between these two.

And i like the SeaUrchin's idea about "Uranus", which is similar to "anus" but much different between "YourAnus".

[Clonmac]

It isn't like it is a person who is sitting there checking every single clan name. It is a simple filter that just found the words rapist and anal and blocked it. You could probably even do some character substitution to get around it with a little creativity. As someone else said, it won't catch everything and it doesn't understand intentions behind any of the words.

Also, where do you buy domain names that it costs you $50? Costs me like $10 at the most.

Saying that the name shouldn't trigger a profanity check and then claiming that having a profaned word in it is the fun of it is kinda working a tiny bit against the case you're building here.
