I was testing out the Rigger gear & tried to name the new loadout Rigger but it won't let me. It says I'm using a restricted word or profanity.
This is stupidity on a whole new level.

I've passed on your comment as part of an ongoing investigation into the profanity filter, we're monitoring the feedback on this closely and I appreciate that you have let us know about this instance with the filter!
It would be nice if you guys add an option to deactivate this filter. I´m german. For me this filter is.... useless and I often even can`t see were the heck the filter see a problem.
Also: I`m an adult and it`s simply just my decision how I name my loadouts. I mean come on guys, nobody else then me can even see the names of my builds.
I understand filters for the public chat. But for names for my loadouts? Seriously?
As someone said about this topic a few months ago, they probably had a pre-made list of possibly-inflammatory names and made those restricted. The funny thing is, half of their own gear names fall in there. "Rigger" is one. I made a build around a Perfect Glass Cannon vest and tried to name it (what else) "Glass Cannon," but "cannon" is not allowed and it changes it to "Glass Cannot." Pretty stupid if you ask me.
I get the intent behind this, but considering no one else but the player themselves sees these names why do you they even care if the name is vulgar or offensive? I can't see what your load-outs are called, and vice versa, so WHAT IS THE POINT?
Seriously...?
You've been able to use the word "glass"?!
I had to call my Turret/Drone build "Axxault skills" because the word "assault" contains a profanity...
Not to mention NPCs swear like there's no tomorrow throughout the game, but we cannot read the word "***"...
EDIT: I've been censocerd here too :p
I ended up calling the build "PROFANITY". lol
And by the way, I freakin LOVE the Rigger gear. I just went up against a level 4 control point, an elite supply convoy & 2 rogue agents all at the same time & it really saved my ***. I destroyed everything, it was total chaos. It was my first time trying out the Rigger setup & it's awesome! No matter how much skill haste I put on, the cooldown was always too long. So this is exactly what I needed.
Yeah, slightly off-topic for this thread, but I think Rigger pretty much puts Hard Wired out to pasture regarding non-status skill builds. It rocks with a turret and a drone; just keep re-aiming them and you constantly re-start the buff. Cancel/destroy them before they time out and there's no cool down.
I was blocked by profanity filter for writing "Meta"
"shotgun" and "pyro" are some other forbidden words lmao and even if we use some real "bad words" on our loadout, what does it matter the game itself is full of profanity. i never understood this nonsense
