The word “Ego” is flagged by the language filter ?? Attempted to share new Ego Battery Charger design for the new Extreme E Hummer. “E Go” is even being flagged ??!

So how come it shows up then?
I’m pretty sure he’s referring to the in-game filter for livery names and keywords. The one that bans BBC. Someone had once found it banned the number 31, I have no idea why. I had found it bans the word Lime. I tried to use the Plymouth color name Limelight once, and it was blocked. Took forever to figure out what it didn’t like. Strangely, the Dodge color name Sublime is okay.

That’s what I was thinking too. Sooo… a copyright issue ?

Oh yeah the ingame filter. It doesn’t allow ‘suicide’ for Suicide Squad. or ‘kill’ for Kill Bill.
It’s even stupider than that… for example I have found words that alone it allows, but put them together, and it won’t allow them.
Also why we’re talking about stupid stuff like this…
Anyone notice the great pains they went to in order to remove “SS” from every American muscle car that wore the badges and changed their names to say “Super Sport” instead of “SS” meanwhile the [Mercedes-Benz SSK] has “SS” in it’s name but avoided getting the ax or the name change to “Super Sport” - and ironically: It’s a GERMAN car… the entire reason they went stupid over removing “SS” from the game. (Nazi iconography in any form is not allowed in Germany IIRC - thus, “SS” gets the Axe.

Interestingly, the in-game filter is okay with SS.

Well… it was until now 
I’m sure somebody will be assigned to that, stat !
I don’t often care about PC going a little over the line but yeah anyone who doesn’t get that SS on cars stands for Super Sport is lacking in basic education. Not everything under the sun (dare I tread that close to a filtered word ?) is an issue of some kind. And the types who get their knickers in a twist over something like that are exactly the types who wouldn’t know a REAL issue if it slapped them in the face and kneed them in the nethers.
Germany has eased those restrictions recently. I know Wolfenstein 3D is no longer banned there.

With all the nannybot censorship of all the wording and designs and such, I have to ask this question…
Why if you can’t paint the 69 Dodge Charger with the General Lee designs, why is the car’s base color the General Lee orange?
Are the developers slipping in a subtle little slant there? Showing us how to slip around the guidelines?
Actually, I have the 69 Charger FE painted with the General Lee design.

You can get a ban for that. If you use it in a public lobby and you come across an easily-triggered woke person that sees fit to report you.

I wasn’t allowed to use Peru in FH4 for the flag for some reason either.
The General Lee design ban generated a lot of discussion on here when it was first announced but ultimately as ridiculous as it is it isn’t allowed anymore, it’s really not worth risking a ban from the entire game over.

The difference between General Lee and General Washington:
They both rallied a country against their seated governments.
They both fought against their fellow countrymen.
They both fought for a cause they believed in.
General Washington Won
General Lee Lost
Who’s flag should we ban next?
It was nice knowing you!

That’s hardly all it’s about.
Just changed it to an American flag design.
You should be okay then.
