Benign word seen as inappropriate

Forza Horizon Legacy Horizon FH3 Discussion

I was naming a challenge, and its name was rejected for containing inappropriate language.

The name was “You Will Smile”, and it was the word “smile” that offended the servers. Changing it to “laugh”, the name was let through without any alarms. The previous challenge had been named “You Will Cry”, which also went through without sparking the ire of our automated linguistic overlords.

The last time I checked, “smile” was a perfectly harmless word used to describe the facial expression made by someone experiencing happiness. Has something happened?

I’ve tried figuring out if the filters would see any other words concealed in the sentence and misinterpret it, but I’m stumped. This is the weirdest thing that’s happened to me yet on Xbox Live.

“dump” is a banned word too,

When the filters are the dirty-minded ones. :clap:

Yeah, it doesn’t know right from wrong, sadly. It picks out “trigger” words that allude to naughty whatnot, which obviously you weren’t aiming for.

Oh, what a wonderful world we live in!

Also “gold”?

Posted many times over the last 10 years of Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon: The filters are from Xbox Live, universal to all games with user input areas. Turn 10/Playground Games are required to use the Xbox Live filters in all the areas of under input. We just need to figure out what wording is acceptable as a work-around.
