Ship name censored - turn off

Haven't read the entire thread, but IMO FD should absolutely keep censorship in place on the naming front. Too many silly, immature and frankly unrealistic names would otherwise be introduced. This thread is proof positive of that very fact!

Kind of true but when you cannot name your ship 'Embassy' and have it displayed then the filter is ridiculous.
 
Here in America
Says a guy who can (in games) murder innocent people, do drugs, alcohol, destroy property, attack and kill police and military staff on a whim but can't see a female nipple. Because nipples are bad.

On topic - there's nothing more infuriating than arbitrary decision about something. Add political correctness and things turn hilarious. I can smuggle drugs (ILLEGAL!!!). I can traffic slaves (ILLEGAL!!!). I can hunt and kill innocent CMDRs (ILLEGAL!!!) and steal their cargo (double ILLEGAL!!!).

But I can't do it in a ship named "Moby " as second part of the name ... I don't have to explain it to you, do I? Stop treating us as 5 yo's. I am mature, have family on my own and if I want to see offensive ship name I should be able to. #demandcensorswitch.

And what if i paint my cutter/orca in pink and call it LONG JOHN?

And what if someone name is son? http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/son
Why he is discriminated by FDev then? Why he cannot name his ship by his first name?

I can't even name a certain town in Austria because that would get me a strike on the forum.

Also I can just go and invent swear words like "Hurplafet" and exclaim it in that way, and for some weird reason that's okay. Just like when Battlestar Galactica used "frack".

Swear filters are fracking stupid, and whoever thinks that nameplates need to be censored is a Hurplafet, and should join the pen club. I'm Pen 14 btw.
 
How many ships do you see in the real world with obscene names? Zero? Well then why should it be any different with spaceships?

How many ships do you see in life with Frame Shift Drive modules?

Ah yeah, not that many...just remembered we're in a game.

Always makes me laugh when people find some deeply ingrained sense of offense at something they don't like and declare it must be not hidden from them, but the world. So I take it between you and activists we should just assume everything is offensive and become elective mutes...?

Freedom of speech is always wonderful when it works for you eh...*chuckles*. Nah, optional filter needed. Enabled by default if that's a problem for some. I'm a grown adult with a grown sense of humour and don't see why that has to be dimmed down because someone might let their 7 year old son crash their ship a few times.

That has nothing to do with "political correctness", but with money.
If you want to sell your game in germany, you can't display the swastika.
It's illegal, and will get the game blacklisted, as simple as that.

Travel to India and you will see the "swastika" all over the place, however as this is an old old symbol that has notting to do with the N- party, many there probably don't even know what the n'z are.

It's all about context, Germany BTW have many silly laws, just like the USA and the entire EU.

And yes a toggle to take the silly filter off would be nice.


Politically corrected myself, no poppies was harmed
 
Registration plate in Poland (late 90) with from a folk with sense of humor:

sb.asp


It is not banned here, because it is nothing wrong with it.

My clanmate have nickname Assarin. IS that also inappropriate?

Here in America, we beat PEGI with baseball bats.

Down with censorship.
Down with whining parental groups who shouldn't or often do not, have children in the first place minding everyone else's business but their own.
Down with whining in general. Grow a pair and act like a human being.

Up with guns? :p
 
Yeah, and I get it, honestly, because frankly, with me at least, my eyes feel physically damaged from the amount of eye-rolling I do with the way people name things in other games.

Be creative! nope......definitely not creativity people want to show off, its whatever makes them snicker.

And personally I can only see it so many times, (and yes I will gladly chuckle initially) but after so many online games and so many repeats it leads to eye strain from eye rolling. So I at last, get it.

I'm glad censorship is on to prevent seeing people with their "hilarious" ship names

Shock humour is boring humour

A lot of gamers seem to think that its ok to be in games, thats why we cant have nice things like uncensored ship names

Why you want to say other how they should play?

If someone want express him in stupid way, then he should have right to do it. Action and reaction. He name his ship stupidly and you can think what you want because you know who is who.
Everyone should have right to name his ship as he want (ok, except well known few offensive words) and deal with a consequences of it.
Do you want to play with a folk with a shipname SMS Schleswig-Holstein? Me not. However he should have a possibility to name it that way. Also SMS Adolf Hitler.
