Can't tell you how many times I've gone to report a bug (even in beta) only to be told my post contained profanity - when it clearly did not. Worse, I couldn't report the words that seemed to be the trigger, since I'd be told "This post contains profanity. That is not permitted" when I tried.

I think they strip out spaces then apply a word search. There are companies out there who get paid to come up with stupid terms to put in these filters. It really beggers belief some of the things they add to the filters. I can only assume they get paid by the word.

The profanity filter in this game is ridiculous.

This. Also.

I worry about people making bug reports who can't figure out there's an option to turn the profanitiy filter off. I really do.

It's not just words in English, either. Apparently I #&%^ stop to the Qularr invasion, because "put" and "a" cannot be together, even with a space in between.
