#profanity filter false positive

especially considering some of the fc and station names ive seen, i honestly cant believe this got through testing, you'd think in a game with an empire, "the imperial" would get tested
We're looking at and will be updating the profanity filter so please keep reporting anything you might spot that doesn't match up and we can add it to the report
Nice, thanks for responding
boo hoo my name is apparently profane
no mongoose squadron for me 😅
the first 4 letters are a slur apparently
This is called the "Scunthorpe problem" where non-context-aware profanity filters will block a TON of legitimate words because they accidentally contain a bad word
Interesting. the profanity filter does seem partially context-aware, since it's actually letting me name something "Scunthorpe" for example, but if the profanity is at the start of the name, it doesn't work.
"The Imperial" doesn't seem to be blocked anymore btw @leaden aspen
Oh nice, I already made the squadron without "the" cuz i didn't know when it would be fixed
Thanks for letting me know
Hurix is not allowed. Previously it was. "Zan and Hurix Communications"
The first four letters are a common UK insult.
Pretty sure alot of combinations of letters can be considered a slur if you include alot of countries.
No idea what that means in the UK but i dont want to know either
We have some changes coming with the update tomorrow for the filters, It may not fix all of the names but it will fix some. Please continue to let me know in here if there is anthing that isn't sorted and i'll flag.
"More Mischief Managed" censored before and after yesterday's patch, "Mischief Managed" was fine before but censored after.
(Also, I got slapped by the bot for apparently sending the same message multiple times... 🤣 )
Before the patch, "Mor" seemed to be blocked, after "chief" seems to be blocked.
That's so confusing... why would those be blocked??
🤷♂️
I'll pass it along and try to find out whats caused it
Ok we're going to look at why that's blocked and get it unblocked. There were some changes made to the profanity filter on Tuesday with the update but this seems to have slipped through. If anyone does find anything else that's got through, could I ask you to reach out to support please? https://formcrafts.com/a/ed-moderation is the direct support link for this issue.
but phil.w they are imperials ..... deth to them all 🙂
I don't know why you would think this is appropriate outside of a role-playing thread or server.
The word "mischief" still isn't allowed. :/
Some people take things way to seriously.😄
Try creating a squadron bookmark with the name Ram Tah or Ram-Tah - both get censored and result in a bookmark called R*****H
