I have been playing the game for a while on xbox, but the recent exploration I have been doing during DW2 some systems seem to be censoring my commander name on first discovered where as others is displaying it correctly, is this a bug or am I being censored now?
Odd censoring of my commander name
- Thread starter Stickyvicar
- Start date
Probably best to just bug report it - the intricacies of FDev's profanity filters are understood by no-one.

I'd be surprised - I've seen some seriously censor-worthy CMDR tags on Suns & Planets.
Some were so obvious/bad that I assumed FDev didn't have a censoring for CMDR Tags at all (?)

Profanity filter, working as intended:
Also - FDEVs: we, mature players, demand the following:
maturity filter: on/off toggle

- LOL... I mean, really, have you seen these forums?
- Frontier will probably continue to be compliant with several national laws that require them to be proactive in their filtering.
Thanks guys I will send a bug report, I just found it odd that some systems have been censored and some not, all the data was handed in at the same time...
I had a ship name filtered because it was a naughty word in another language (despite not being such in English). The rub? The language that it was offensive in is not even a supported language in the game.
One system has been censored, and I know the three CMDRs who have tagged it. Support have told me it's because of the profanity filter (not related to the comms profanity filter) and that was it. It's still censored.
I can't think of any part of our names which could have triggered it [where is it]

I believe in most cases it's a bug. I've had that happen where my name shows up as a bunch of asterix but the next day when I look at the system, my gamertag is properly displayed. I'm also on xbox.
it could just be a case of the knights who say "ni" and the word "it" perhaps Fdev have a similar forbidden word.
My CMDR name is censored in the Squadron chat, but not on the galaxy map. There's no rhyme nor reason to these things, but the Frontier Developments profanity filters seem a bit like Frankie Howerd: able to find double-entendres in almost anything, and to delight in drawing our attention to the "rude" words.
