They are filtering on a list of words even if found in the middle of another word.
Maybe simple words like that should not be on a banned list. wheras certain credit selling sites should be added to the banned word list. Both problems solved.

You know I almost posted a list of the names I have seen however I will not be part of the flailing bandwagon of degenerates who can't think for themselves, on the other hand I'm not blatantly blind in general chat to see every other name with some form of derogatory sexual insult or combination or blind that most of the stuff that people with these names spew into general chat... If I would ignore most of these people all that would be left is credit spammers and the Odd person looking for a group, or a new player that gets trolled for asking a simple question...

I'm a little tired of seeing Jedi characters named Baytor (or similar).
Think about it a moment, considering what title options Jedi get.

ck really sounds like this community is not right for you. Get into a guild and just focus on that one and use general chat for what you can or just quit the game. All i hear is qq wanting everyone to conform to you. There are tools to use to make the experience the way you want it and you just refuse to use them. The real world is full of people that are going to offend you so get used to it and learn how to deal with it instead of whining to everyone and making excuses for every option out there to fix it.. I personally find it offensive when people whine about their problems and refuse to do nothing about it. So does that mean that you should be censored nope but i will be ignoring this thread now. Wow that was super hard .

I have no imagination. I just steal my names from other games. And if they are gone just use the random name generator and hope the good ones are free.

Listing those names here would be against forum rules AFAIK.

Players will always look for something to make them different. Ofcourse, some people go overboard and name their character Adolfus Hitlericus or whatever, just to provoke a reaction.

What bothers me most is when the devs make no effort to Google the names they give their NPC's. Then we end up having one named "Arkan" during the BBA event.
I see their R2 droid and I grab it. No, you can't have it back, silly rabbit!

No one else should have to take the brunt of you being so easily "offended." In fact, you could call your expressing "offense" at some comment harassment as well. What, I said something you didn't like? Suck it up!
yeah, i think actively harassing someone and making a vulgar name you find hilarious are two very different things.
people on the internet are only mean because they can get away with it
