Re: Battlefield 5 chat not working

@Jungerr35 The filter is periodically updated so it could be a recent change. People have been reporting similar issues for a few years now, and in all the cases I saw it was the playername causing the problem.

If you'd prefer not to change your name to see if that resolves the problem, there's no harm in waiting to see if anyone here has a different suggestion. I may be incorrect and it's a similar but different issue.

    @ElliotLH If this is the case, then it is completely ludicrous! I've always used my nickname which are my initials (RPFFDS) since day one in 2011 when i first bought BF3 and never had an issue. And I have no clue how it could be an offensive acronym or word!
    Nevertheless, I can see nicknames being used that are truly offensive and no one bats an eye for them!
    I rather cancel my EA account and ditch EA altogether than change my profile!

    @RPFFDS You could try approaching EA Help (help.ea.com) to ask if they can pass the name on to the ToS team in case it can be whitelisted. However, I don't think that it'd be guaranteed that they would make any changes.

    I already contacted them 7 times! and nothing was done, only on the seventh time, the guy I spoke with told me he would pass the information to a "team".
    Nonsense, initials could have a second meaning, but never did I hear something as this. I have read nicknames in the game which are really offensive, and nothing is done.
    I don't know if this is woke related, but back when BF3 come out it wasn't as sensitive fest as in BF5.
