Potty-mouthed captain Ithilessil posted a complaint on the Elite: Dangerous boards after he tried to call his ship ‘Hello, World!,’ solely to search out that the swear filter had triggered journal entries to rechristen it ‘****oWorld.’ That’s proper – the filter even stripped out areas and punctuation in its zeal for clear language. Kerrija has an equally joke of a pal who needed to rename his ship ‘Moby Richard.’

It’s a patently absurd state of affairs, however slightly than merely take away ‘Hell’ from their filter, the answer offered by Mitch of the devs’ QA group was to whitelist the phrase ‘Hello.’

I’m not a seven-year old, dammit.” While Nuvey argues that filtering ‘Hell’ reveals the settings are too strict “unless you’re shooting for a primary school level player base.” WizzyThing goes as far as to say that such filters by no means work anyway, as a result of “people work around them; they only frustrate people.”
