Profanity Filters

[ Edited ]
★★★ Apprentice

The profanity filter is in need of serious review. I created a custom draft class of real people and a number of names were blocked for profanity where I have no idea what is profane about them. The following are some examples where I can't even begin to find a curse word:

  • Thorpe
  • Langer
  • Javon
  • Daunte

Then, you have some that are blocked that are about as mild as saying the word "darn":

  • Willie (As in Willie Roaf, WIllie Wood, Willie Anderson)
  • Woody (As in Damien Woody)

The name "D*ck" is also blocked. I mean I get that that word can mean some things, but there are a number of real people and legends that go by that name (i.e. D*ck Butkus, D*ck LeBeau). 

 

If it really truly is necessary beyond racial slurs and the F word and S word, then at least make it something we can individually turn on or off. I don't need protected from myself cursing if that truly is what I'm trying to do.
