Saves - Blocked words for license plates and shared file names

Yeah, it’s probably exactly that. I know for some reason if I try to use the word “TAXI” to name a livery, it comes up as inappropriate but if I change it to “CAB”, it’s fine. It takes a little guess work sometimes to figure out exactly which word might be triggering the warning.

Pretty much anything with “GT” in it prompts the filter, for example.

There’s a bunch of numbers that are blocked, some of them actual car names. I compiled a list of all the ones I encountered, but my post in this thread was held pending moderation! After a few days I deleted it because it’s clearly never going to be changed so not worth my time.

I discovered the numbers because I label my photos numerically. Those that don’t pass the censor I write the number in English (eg eighteen) or use Latin numerals (eg XVIII). Having said that, the way ‘My Forza’ now displays your photos totally randomly it’s pointless. The old Forza Hub was made easier by displaying them in numerical order. Another feature that was better for Forza diehards than what we have now. Yes, the good old days were actually good.

I typed out a description for a recreation of the Track Dwagon Hot Wheels car on a Volvo 850R. And for some reason, “JDM” is blocked. “JDM” OF ALL THINGS.

JDM is allowed. It’s something else.

not even sure it’s consistent for everyone, this kind of thing

JDM is a popular search term for anyone that cares to try. There’s even 16 Volvo 850r paints with it. :person_shrugging:

Some or all of these words suddenly got blocked out of the blue, after working fine for years.
Road Racing Street Festival Playlist Event Fast.
Tryed to share an Bmw M2 2023 S1 tune with a V10, but Forza had other plans.
Same words worked fine an hour ago actually on a 69 Camaro B700 tune.

The language filter is broken right now, tryed sharing the same tune without writing any word in the description and it still triggered, so i guess it’s broken right now.

So i tried to put licence plate from my real life car and i got this thing that is blocked for language or something like that. I live in Slovenia in City Kranj and i have plates KR CG and numbers
don’t know what is wrong with that plates or letter combos…

anyone ever tried “E”? just that by itself? it’s not possible to give a commander the name “E” in World of Tanks Modern Armor due to profanity but no-one else can see the name of the commander anywhere in the game - turns out the language filter is fixed by Microsoft and Sony, as it is here (presumably Sony either added their list of banned words or just accepted Microsoft’s)

I wonder if the word “San” is still banned. It’s a shame whenever you create a custom race set at San Sebastian or San Juan and can’t name it so.

I’m wondering if there’s possibly a disgruntled employee at Microsoft adding completely random words to the language filter out of spite, knowing that the higher-ups don’t know and wouldn’t care.

something just occurred to me - “speed” needs to be blocked - how come that’s allowed when we’re all addicted to the stuff because it’s not been blocked?

while I’m here I’ve become an axe murderer because of the Willys Jeep, something needs to be done about that, too

i saw somewhere in this thread that it could be that the three middle letters spell out a banned word.

oh my goodness it’s even worse than I realised

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this word-blocking is completely meaningless gibberish without active control of other aspects of Microsoft’s output - search for gamertags starting “nilkig” or “nil kig” and get depressed really quickly

What is happening??? The naming of Liveries are becoming a COMPLETE joke.

4 or 5 days ago, I made a “Nismo TSURU GT-R Hot Rides” livery. When I went to share it, I was told the name wasn’t allowed. I tried another 4 or 5 times to try different but similar names. EVERYTIME the game said no, it wasn’t allowed.

NOW I AM ANGRY and completely offended with this process because now i have had 5 messages saying I have been reported for making inappropriate material and I have been temporarily banned.

How DARE they treat people like that. I am ANGRY because I have NEVER, EVER made any inappropriate material what-so-ever.

I am 55 years old, not 13 or 14 making up stupid immature rubbish.

To accuse me of this without any proof what-so-ever is lible, defamation of character and criminal. I find the attitude to be properly OFFENSIVE and INSULTING. It is an insult to both my intelligence and to the maturity of my advanced 55 years of age to accuse me of such immature behaviour.

This offensive practice should be stopped immediately.

Unban me NOW.

There is a thread discussing invalid words, and a quick search for the term “Hot” indicated that this is a banned word.

I haven’t heard of automatic bans before due to hitting the language filter. If it’s a forza ban there’s a process to appeal it.

It’s probably worth mentioning your platform since it sounds like the Playstation filter is separate from the MS version.
