I created livery based on the Final Fantasy IV 3d Remake and I put in the description that the livery is from that game only for it to say I used an offensive word. which I clearly did not.
I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why it would NOT let me share my livery. I replaced “fantasy”, “IV”, “3D”, and even “Rydia” as well as five other words only to find out that “Remake” is the word being blocked
There are remakes of MANY MANY MANY games out there which may or may not have different designed characters or even new characters. Banning the word “Remake” prevents people from specifying that the character livery is from a specific remake of the game.
Why on Earth is “remake” a banned word? There is absolutely NOTHING offensive about that word.

I sometimes do licence plates for individual countries & try to reflect that in the file name but it won’t have it. The names of most countries are banned. I couldn’t even acknowledge a San Marino plate in the file name!
Interesting. I’ve used country codes at least for some plate and flag vinyls, some liveries, and a few event labs, even spelled out the country on some, no issues. Not many and some originated back in FH4 (but a couple were imported to FH5 I think ?) Off the top of my head… Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden (I think ?), USA, Japan, and Denmark. No problems that I recall.
EDIT : back on topic 
I have no idea why Remake would be banned. Nonsense to me.

It seems that if something triggers the auto censors it won’t let you go ahead with the design process until you back out and start over from some unknown point.
It seems to be a 
bug? In the system. Not that there ever are any bugs. 
.
I made a car design and named it “drift off” that’s all. And it flag it as offensive material.
Nothing I did changed until I backed all the way out and just saved the design as forza livery. Then I had to save it again as a different name.
Absolutely stupid system.

Somebody should remake Pulp Fiction video with banned words from FH. Could use Party Poppers instead of guns.
“Say remake again Mother…, I dare you!”

Why isn’t mother a banned word? It implies the obvious use of a second word.
Believe it or not, some expletives are actually not censored on the forums (can’t speak for the games). However, if you use them towards a user, you get flagged.
You trying to get me in trouble?

Profanity filters are never perfect. I’m sure you can all think of a thousand and one ways to bypass a profanity filter while still clearly conveying the meaning of a word or phrase. I’ve dabbed in this area a little in the past and can tell you the base word lists alone can be huge and filled in many cases with what I would deem as harmless words. Ultimately you end up accepting that it’s not 100% perfect.

I’m tired of these monkey fighting profanity filters on these Monday through Friday games!

They are supposed to be chosen by real people.
lol… but… the sad part of that is, they are.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s also a (bad) automated hash of derivational affixes somewhere in the bot dna making it even worse.
I still don’t see how Kumho gets nailed, even given the excellent explanation by Ti_Hsien.
Make things simple, just use George Carlin’s 7 words list.

oh, yes - bang on there - search for Xbox gamertags starting “nilkig” - I put in a thing at MS support about that
I operate on the assumption that it’s an automated XBL thing. It seems to be a plague across various online XBOX games with any sort of user inputted names/text. Even things ported from PC. As a random, somewhat recent example - when I was playing user created adventures in Solasta Crown of the Magister words like Assassin and Knight were getting asterisk-censored (and here I was going to show exactly how they were censored, but the ridiculous automated censor on the forum hilariously didn’t like the masking).

It’s almost funny even to the point of hilarity that assassin is even allowed on the forum given the current spat of, well, those who know, know…
I can understand that certain words get filtered. That something like Kumho is concerned is somehow understandable but since it’s the name of an actually existing brand it should obviously get a pass.
What I can’t wrap my head around is why even some number combinations get banned. I know there are some that can be linked to certain bad stuff but why for example 430 is banned is beyond my understanding. I normally name my designs and tunes PBLN #XXX and have one for the '73 Skyline H/T that happens to have a 430 startingnumber. No chance to get that saved so I had to resort to replace one number with an X.
I absolutely don’t care if 430 is a number that’s somehow insulting, derogatory or what ever somewhere in the world. Something like this shouldn’t end up in a filter in a car related game which even has starting numbers in the name of some of the cars and comes with liveries that sport such numbers by default.

What I find totally confusing is this whole censorship thing in general.
And then they promote totally uncensored “rap” music by gifting their livery inspired vehicles.
Microsoft, T10, PGG your not following your own standards. Promoting their own double standards; ie money vs censorship.
Either do it or don’t do it.
Because we’re not all rap artists with - and lots of money. We can’t pay to put our - on your -
- site.
We just want to be able to use inoffensive words and numbers without fear of getting banned from xbox.

Well in reality teaching players to crash through fences to get rewards is worse than swearing.
