Hi,
im experiencing an issue when trying to input a license plate into this game that i onced owned in real life, i sold the plate to a film studio many years back and have seen it in countless commercials and motion pictures of many genres, its a non offensive plate yet i see your company deems it as foul language… any ideas? the plate in question is " 455 KO" … why should it be banned guys? come on… could we un-ban this please?
best

455 is 1337-speak for that part of the body that you do a number 2 from. That’s probably why.

Haha!! Oh my! I didn’t realise that lol! thank you
Yup, that’s why. There was another thread discussing this where someone said “717” was banned, and it would also follow that same logic. Numbers can stand for letters, so that would explain it.Here’s a breakdown:0 = O1 = I2 = Z3 = E4 = A5 = S6 = G7 = T8 = B9 = gCorrect me if I’m wrong.

Cant help you but would like to hear more about the story of the plate.
As would I!
The censorship of plates is a bit much though, especially when it’s a real plate.
The XBL censor is ridiculous.
You find/hear stronger language in Disney films. Not joking.

Worldwide. Microsoft is really harsh when it comes to this, no matter whether it’s in gamertags or license plates or descriptions for liveries, tunes … It’s a bit sad because they tend to ignore ban requests for racially or otherwise offensive gamertags (at least nothing ever happened to those I reported).
Trust me there are ways around this. I seen a few plate numbers that should be blocked. When I saw it I laughed because I couldn’t believe they got away with it.
