Profanity filter insanity
JaegerDelta:
So the other day i tried to name a ship "Pickaxe". And i couldn't because the word pickaxe is against the naming policy.........
turns out the flag results from an anglicized Eastern European slang term, picka, being in the name. I mean, i get it, its an international game, and having someone able to name their ship "picka" might not be the best thing ever. However censoring words that happen to contain the same pattern of characters as a "profane" word but mean completely different things is silly, really really silly.
Calico Jack:
Try hyphenation: Pick-Axe

you shouldn't have to hyphenate normal words though.
Calico Jack:
Do you want your ship name now or wait until they update the filters? If it's urgent you could always use a hyphen or a 1 in place of the 'i' or an @ inplace of the 'a'.

Yeah, I really hate how words containing banned words can't be used. Like how the French "chuis" (abbreviation of "je suis", meaning "I am") gets censored. It can make discussing over text chat fairly inconvenient.
