I wasn't able to find a way to contact support directly about this issue, so I suppose it has to be in a public forum. I'm getting flagged for offensive content! Why would when using my last name (Knight) in a username/park name so my friends can find me be tagged as offensive/profanity? It's an official English word in the dictionary too, not deemed a swear word! I believe this is simply a bug that needs to be fixed.

Frontier probably employs a dragon.🐉 We have infiltrated creative industries and do take offense to knights!

On a more serious note, the censoring is too aggressive. Not a priority to fix compared to other issues, but definitely something that will need attention.

I couldn’t even put the word amusement in my description for a workshop item. It replaced it with amu*****t. It took me a minute to spell the word out in my head and find where it might find offense. I mean come on! Now I’m offended by the filtering LOL!!!😂

Your name is likely being censored because it contains the word “n i g”.

Frontier is already aware of this issue and they are collecting feedback for improvements.

Don’t forget the list of banned words won’t be constructed by Frontier. It’s likely to be auto-generated. Although Frontier probably can add to the list and remove from it.

This is from Elite Dangerous but it illustrates the point: I wanted to name my ships after Scottish islands - there are two off the coast of Ayrshire that the game rejected, an email to Frontier support got the islands' names* whitelisted.
