FD - Please uncensor my ship name
- Thread starter MissMeYet
- Start date
Yep, because all the references in Robocop were soo PC.
Was that originally by Kenny Everett?
Pretty sure that was Cupid Stunt?

Nah that was cunny funt...cant remember the sketch but fairly sure thats it ^
I don't blame them though, many people already now that i've seen do their very best to many names with various genitalia or other body parts, or functions references, and that's with the censoring being as direct as it is, though I will agree they should whitelist certain fully normal words, such as this, because right now it only serves to highlight the 'problem'

Ye mean like the part where ye choose new passwords? The ones where ye go through twenty different variations? Doesnt really have the same appeal tbh
So now I have to buy more Elite Dangerous swag, because of how efficient and, truth be told, likeable, Frontier Support is...Not Sad!
" Hey [redacted],
Thank you for getting in touch with us.
I have forwarded the word "Boddicker" to be whitelisted in our profanity filter for ship names. While this change does not require a game update, please be aware that it may take some time. Thank you for your patience with us!
I hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can be of further assistance
Fly safe, Commander!

Edit. I've decided to buy the USA flag skins for the Viper Mk3 and Cobra Mk3, and post with a "MAGA" ball cap whenever I create videos using those skins.

Cupid Stunt was his character that did everything "in the best possible taste".

It is not just the UK,my bro went to Disneyland Florida in a F.C.U.K. t-shirt and had to turn it inside out before security would let him in.
That's a joke, right?

Im sticking with me own personal principles that if I cant name my ship what I want, I wont name it at all. Will that make any sorta difference to FD? No but to just give in and compromise without so much as a whisper over two harmless non swear words? Not in my nature Im afraid. Its as if the function never existed because it will never be used while that filter is so illogical ^
The funniest (or cleverest) one I have seen so far was a tatty Anaconda called "Norfolk 'n' Good"
It did give me more than a few chuckles
Norfolk Incense is a fave of mine.
All this, yet my Anaconda's name isn't censored at all. Can't post a pic because I'm at work but it's HMS Spam Javelin.
I remember a news piece not so long ago about a furniture shop called SOFA KING. They had their vans decked out on the side saying 'SOFA KING CHEAP ITS UNBELIEVABLE' an absolute gem of a play on words which they'd used for over ten years until one a day a SINGLE sensitive soul complained and they had to remove it from their vans. It's a sad sad world where the professionally outraged and disgusted rule and one person can demand action no matter the cost to the rest of us.
Hahah that's a great one lol, poor Norfolk.
Now you've set me off...
Norfolk n Fayre
There's probably loads out there. Brilliant. How come I missed all this? Sheltered life in Kent I guess
