Nani Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) I created a Support Ticket for this, but I wanted to post this topic under "Feedback" too, because this problem deserves more attention from DE and could use some real improvement. I tried to name my Zaw weapon this: "ZAW BALLA SEEKALLA EJ2" There is nothing profane about this name. In fact, it's simply the name of the actual Zaw components that I used when building the Zaw!

Cook-EN- Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Similar thing happened to me when I was trying to rename my War. I tried to rename it to "War... War Never Changes" but it said there is profanity in it. DE pls fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"hang" is in your name, or maybe it is something else. Either way, the test for profanity is a little over the top and restricts simple words like ball.

(XBOX)ashes of suvius Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Yeah, i encountered the same thing, made all my zaws n tried to name them by their strikes to keep track so i named one ZAW CYATH, ZAW OOLTHA, ZAW MEWAN, ETC. ZAW BALLA, nope, profanity... I wasnt sure whether to make a thread, support ticket or just face palm. Then i enter a match with a guy that had a melee named 'phuckstik' or something close to it n i almost threw my controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand there's folks who aren't doing anything even approaching profanity, and are being prevented from doing the completely innocent thing. On the other, we have folks that are skirting the edge of profanity purposely and getting a name in the game that is spelled somewhat differently than the actual profane words but sounds the same and allowed to continue with it. The other thing that seems a bit frustrating is the fact that Warframe is now a game with a Mature rating, so this admittedly silly focus on trying to root out all profanity seems a little silly at this point, like shutting the door of the stable after the horses have run off.

Soul-scar Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 A game directed at 16+ and the user base are treated as toddlers. You can cut a pixilated human being into 3 parts but anything more profane than "bum" and you are censored. It is a chat mode designed for Quakers. To say it is patronising is an understatement, to say it is annoying would again be understating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukantos Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Agreed, but im guessing it has to be this extreme at the order of the console platform holders. Doubt DE can change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)dude1286 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Apparently, 111 is also profanity. Tried naming my amp that. Had to go with AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an amp named '2-1-2' when i built that cuz everyone was raving about it. But 113 wasnt allowed for me, which makes me think that theres stuff in the code prepared for people that use l33t speak in various forms, ie ball can be writen ba11 n thus 11 is bad... it seems to be very poorly scoped n oddly specific in odd places, but this is mostly assumption.

I have one names ZAW OOLTHA, one named ZAW MEWAN, one named ZAW KEEWAR, one named ZAW CYATH. U definitely can use most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwitzer Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 They should just get rid of the profanity filter because it keeps misfiring. If someone has a truly horrendous name, I'm sure it'll get reported. That is, if people are really upset by such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike: Balla Grip: Seekalla Link: Ekwana Jai II If I had to make a guess they're probably considering 'balla' to be an alternative spelling for 'baller' and they probably disallow 'baller' as part of a blanket ban on Thug Life culture.
