Banned words changed?

Since the update I’ve noticed suck and sucks has been removed from the banned words list on in game chat. Just wondering why this is? Also noticed that Jesus is banned, I’d imagine due to blasphemous connotations but other religious figures aren’t like Mohammed, God, Zeus or Xenu. Also curious why certain words are banned but some aren’t?

Anyone else noticed any unusual banned words?

    You could say most of those things in this chat without fear of being banned, but god help you if you mention money and how to spend it in a FTP game. Funny enough you can talk about spending money in the FTP game without getting banned but not cuss. Oh for the love of capitalistic greed.


    Can you give an example or reference? I've seen tons of people talk about money and how it's being spent and I haven't heard of anyone being banned for it.

    Lol. It’s a trap! I would but I don’t want to be banned again.

    I believe it's against the TOS to tell people not to spend or to request refunds. I don't know specifically of people being banned, but there have definitely been threads deleted because of that. Otherwise, yeah, talking about money is perfectly fine.

    Well, except the Jesus thing.

    I have been told that pointing out better monetary deals in other EA Games is equal to encouraging people to quit SWGOH. I disagree with that reasoning and state for the record, this post is not encouraging any player to quit SWGOH.

    I’ve posted about errors And not getting shards for example and people have said to request a refund etc which worked fine. I think influencing a decision of where to spend the money is against their policy but if someone is going to spend money on the game then they will.

    I haven’t tried in a while, but it used to be that if you typed “assist” then it would get censored to “***ist” in the in-game chat.

    Also, if your potency percentage was lower than 70%, but higher than 68% it would also get censored.

    Nah, some of the words it censors didn't even exist in 1912...or at least weren't "naughty" then.

    It's got a tv-y7 filter on the chat, even though you have to be 13 to be able to access the chat which would be PG13 in movies and the level of swearing allowed at that rating is pretty lax. Chat filters here are just weird.

    I'm italian and I can't write "accumulare" in the in-game chat. It's the italian word for "to hoard".
    And this is ridiculous since the word doesn't look like any dirty word.
    I also can't write "guido" which means "I drive"... another mistery... one of my guildmates told me that ther is a sort of racist thing against italians in London... who knows..
