What about FDEV censoring their own name plate logos? This Passenger one is strangely appropriate given the ship name.

Ship Name Profanity Filter is Too Strict?
- Thread starter edgar
- Start date
There's a filter? Sheesh, wasn't even aware of that. Not that i would have a problem with that. Still, why not add a good ol' profanity filter option and be done with it. Like "i dunno how many games" did before?
I love the name. And the speeding arrow really uh, hammers it home
.I dunno what CNV is.
CVN is Aircraft Carrier, Nuclear as defined by the Hull Classification Index of the US Armed Forces.

What? You mean that I cannot call my ship "Bruce inson"?
I guess it had to happen sooner or later.
Just flew past a CMDR in a Type-9 Heavy, who has rather imaginatively named his ship Type-9 Heavy

you're killing me
While the overly agressive filter clearly needs some adjustment, right now I'm more concerned about the apparent stripping of whitespace. Many of my ships will have multi-word names and/or prefixes which I'd rather not be concatenated. Does anyone have any evidence that
Also, has anyone checked whether the filter is also applied to the Ship ID? There's an awful lot of swears that fit into six characters.
- This only happens with names that trip the filter
- It only affects the rendered nameplate, not the name on the HUD?

That's...just... beyond words...
Be sure to share pictures of the hybrid kiddos when they hatch!
CNV is the prefix our player group decided on using.
Agh, thinking about it, I guess "Ambassador" for my other ship will be filtered too
Well there goes my naming scheme out the window! It was so innocent! Sob.I don't even understand why this is enforced in this way.. it seems to me that reviewing suspected profanity should just be done in the event of someone being reported, not as an automated process: that way false positives like mine would be allowed (unless someone spuriously reports me, but then a human at FD would review it to avoid vexatious reports), and the names like A558ANG3R intended to sidestep filtering players can report if they are offended by something that really does break the EULA.
You could use "Botschafter". Not only will it likely sail through the filter, it actually sounds ruder than anything FD have censored so far.Agh, thinking about it, I guess "Ambassador" for my other ship will be filtered too
Lmao they took the Dark Souls approach to censorship, widely hailed as too restrictive and context-insensitive.
I think FD opened a HUGE can of worms with this auto-censuring stuff. Binding precious developer time, or money, for nothing, nowadays called "politically correct"*.
I can feel their pain.
*)If you do it, do it right. Replace every letter with "*" since it could be used in an abusive way, and someone could probably feel embarassed. Note the shape of the letters "d" or "b", or even hardcore "B"? Creepy.
And welcome back (sorry: ****) to the stone age.
EDIT:
Just like celebrating killing and torture seems to always have been more accepted than s** or swears. Tells us something about our own kind, and nothing nice.

So "Shorpe Lady" is a no go as well?
*I guess it is, because I mentioned a Yorkshire town called S.c.u.n.t.h.o.r.p.e.
I was just about to ask has anyone tried HMS SHORPE
Aaaaand colour me filtered now my comment makes noooooo sense

The space loach doesn't play DS apparently.
Not entirely sure he plays Elite: Dangerous either...

Is there a way to tell, which words (or word parts) get filtered without asking another person for assistance? (Will "assistance" be filtered too, by the way?)
I want to rename my Asp 'Lucifer', as I found out that this is indeed the poetic name for the morning star (the planet Venus) in English.
But it is also a name for god's opponent and some religious people might be offended by it. Who knows?

I expect the best way is to set it as you want then ask another commander to check for you.
Not ideal, but ...
