Ship Name and ID profanity filter visibility

[Oss133]

Hi,

It has been suggested by support that I post this here.

When selecting names and IDs for our ships it is not currently possible to see what the profanity filter might object to as they are only blocked for other players.

It would be helpful to see what the other players will see so that we can choose acceptable input.

People may be putting a lot of effort into this only to discover, perhaps months later, that it is wasted due to the filter.

But I'd rather be able to turn the damn thing off.

I'm not 5 anymore. And even if I was, I still wouldn't care. Lol

While I totally agree, being able to turn it off would be nice, these things are unfortunately a case of "this is why we can't have nice things" because some people use it in one shape or another to affect insult or whichever other people.
But yeah a simple toggle like many games have shouldn't be a problem.

Totally agree. However, I see why a filter exists but I can't see what is getting filtered unintentionally.
