Been here since the start. Love the game. Plenty of hours put in. Not a rant or show off thread. Generally concerned with what is considered offensive. I want to continue a long used clan tag and name that in no way shape or form is offensive. None of these bother me but show fluidity in the game that i would hope expands to my issue-BLM badge, stop asian bate badge, clearly LGBTQ legends and what not and ....and i cant have a club organized with BONG as the tag? Is this a joke or an error? I want my Brotherhood of Nighttime Gaming and i dont see why this should be considered offensive....😳can i get some feedback from anyone with answers or similar issues? Clubs was so exciting but has fallen flat on its face and this is really getting to me when it shouldnt. Lol. ~bLazdNc0nfusd

@phebert91 I'm pretty sure you know why it's being censored mr"blzdNc0nfusd" xDThat being said, we literally have a drug abusing legend so a fair argument could be made here for over censorship lol. 😛

My friend had to settle for Kool Kids Club - not sure why?? 🤭

Didnt even think of octane but you certainly made my point....search clubs and you can find quote more “offensive or in appropriate” tags/names then a common household item such as a bong. 🤷♂️

Yeah, like most such filters it is simultaneously draconian and useless! I see club tags that would be considered "offensive" all the time.

@B0n3SawMcSizzla You then run the risk of censor dodging if it wasn't just in fact taken, which usually results in action taken against you if the variant isn't also censored. x.xLearned this the hard way on other games as a teen haha.

@phebert91 There was this thread in which we all ended up joking cause "Cl4n" is offensive. Also note that players have been banned for using common words that have some vague resemblence to english racial slurs but mean something completely else in other languages.

Are you sure it's censored and just not unique? Try using a zero instead of a letter 'O.'

@phebert91 This post has just had me amusing myself thinking of club/clan names where the initials would be a bit wrong haha 😄
