Ship Name Profanity Filter is Too Strict?

I had to ponder that one for a few moments... Then it hit me in the face.

Phrasing.

Thought I'd share a couple of NPC ship names I saw recently.

Apparently it's OK for NPCs.

No...just no.

I used the disease Tetanus in my ships name but the filter only saw the word anus. My whole ship name is blocked. At least I got my call sign SH4T to work and show up.

The words are fine (though whoever thought of it still changed the spelling of the second word), the combination has unsavoury connotations.

It might, but it could also be a Hitchhiker's Guide reference. Also, I think some of the NPC ship names might be generated from pseudo-random combinations of two words. I've definitely seen the same adjective used as a prefix on many different ships, sometimes in the same system, and the same noun used with a different (or sometimes no) prefix. That name could be one such construction.

Either way I think this one's probably innocent, although you do raise an interesting point that if a player creates a name with two completely different meanings (that's not an obvious double entendre) and another player flags it, who gets to arbitrate which interpretation is correct?

Also, while we're on the subject of NPC plates and names, I'm a little salty about the above. I want those kinds of nameplates for my ship. :(

They'll come. As soon as everyone who really wanted plain nameplates has compromised with Practical or one of the other sets, and the sales have started to tail off, the flag for fully unadorned nameplate availability will be switched on. FD are masters at this.

Not sure what point you are trying to slowly work your way to, but parents have a responsibility.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting your kid being exposed to profanities and offensive words.

Are you advocating that Parents should NOT send their Kids to School ?
NOT teach them the Dangers in Life ?
NOT teach them how to Defend Themselves ?
I guess you could just teach them to Squat when a Napalm Bomb is dropped, like in Vietnam.

Hey who am I to say what is Common Sense, Right !!
How about "Stupid Is as Stupid Does"

But Back on Point, Just put a Toggle in the Launcher, DONE, that was easy.
