Can't use chat in battlefield 5
So i have been having this problem since BETA, i could use chat normally in the 2 closed alphas but since beta when i try to write in chat i can't send any message, i can write but when i send the me...
Forum Discussion
NB: most people here are having the problem that anything they type in chat is being filtered due to their nickname being considered profane by the profanity filter, hence being completely unable to chat at all; we do see the chat if it is turned on, we just cannot chat ourselves
Correct!
I just spend 1½ hour with Costumer Service trying to figure out what the h**l was going on... Turns out that my former Nickname (since 1998 and been used on Orign since 2009) is partly spanish slang for a certain male body part...
How the heck do we check against slang... I mean former word was in one word Ra bon zo but the first two parts Ra and bon means that male bodypart...
I am highly unamused by this broken filter... I MIGHT understand it, if it was on a SPANISH SERVER! But who the heck knows this stuff without knowing spanish o0
I am now named Rabnozo instead... workaround but looks wrong obviously for me :P
Also, on Forums I am still allowed to be named Rabonzo, so how bad could it really be?
have the same problem or issue too, i think and my nickname is Schilli74 - dont know, what the problem, because i have this name since 2008 in battlefield and the name means nothing *. Why dice does not test the holy chat-filter in beta-versions? I mean - everybody can read my ingame nick, but the holy chat-filter hides me. What a logic... Dice is kidding me, i think. I have bought a full-price game and Schilli74 its a clean nickname! BFV is a AAA-game and if i pay the full-price, than I wanna have all features to play the game!!! Fix this sh*t...

Hey @Rabnozo
Can you confirm whether this was fixed after you changed your name?i can confirm, after changing my name to some random aaahhhaaahh whatever, i suddenly was able to chat - see screenshot attached.
with the absurd situation that now i cannot revert my name back to what it has been until now - n3crophyt3 or necrophyte. something with necroph/n3croph triggers the prohibited word/character alert, as n3crop/necrop is accepted (already taken).
so.... how can i get my ca. 10-years old name back now? necrophyte or n3crophyt3, doesnt matter.
please EA DICE fix thisssss :D
Sorry for the long delay! I've been busy playing, but I can see this thread is STILL not dead... Yes, I can now write in the game under then name Rabnozo as the **** Filter implented in BF V thinks my name Rabonzo is split up into Rabon (Which apparently means dong in spanish slang) and zo instead of looking at it as a whole... So, in other news, we have to take into account any common language in the world + slang when making names now. 2½h of support to figure this out, by a random chance I googled when I tried to change my name back to Rabonzo and it kept saying it was a no-no word, untill I figured out it was Rabon that was the issue, Rabo is fine, but then I would have bozo in the end, which is not fine...
All in all, my workaround works with the "wrong name"
