    For example, On TSW 2 I try to make a GE 4-4 ll in Blackpool trams livery but I can’t have the name in The reskin file of the GE 4-4 ll either saying ‘Blackpool trams or, B’pool Tramway’ so the names are either ‘Blackpool’ or Tramway.

    PT.ll Scenario Planner

    For another example I make a scenario or service on the scenario planner within One saying either ‘Class 45s, class 31s or BR406 for example’ and if I put the name of the name of my scenario I can’t go and choose my service with the name And I don’t know what to choose instead of a name. image.jpg

    I know the Class issue is an overzealous swear filter. I think Passenger, Scunthorpe and a few other genuine words will also fall foul of the said filter.

    You can't have Class because of the amazingly offensive 'ass' in it. Unbelieveable.

    I can't figure out what anyone could find objectionable in B'pool Tramway though....unless apostrophes aren't allowed maybe?

    Once I was listening to a podcast with the producers of Super Meat Boy, they were discussing the challenges of letting users create their own sharable levels. The way they explained it was if a player decided to create a custom level shaped like, oh say, a gigantic phallic symbol, and upload it to the servers, they could be held liable if someone saw it and got offended. I'm guessing a potentially offensive word isn't much different. Sad to say, but that's the state of things.

    The swear filter needs to see spaces. At the moment we're talking about words within words which is rediculous.

    We are living in the Age of the Offense Puritans. Not all that different a mindset from Cotton Mather's originals.

    Just tried it. Blackpool and B'pool isn't allowed because it contains the word 'poo'

    Strangely enough in this forum, which is a shared public space, there is no automatic word filter acting on our posts...

    There is, but it only covers actual swear words and only where the actual swear is in isolation, although mods can (and have) removed posts containing swears not in isolation.

    There’s also a village called Crapstone just up the road from me. And if there are any ornithologists amongst the congregation, don’t name your route after a bird. The Avocet Line might be fine but Great Tits, Shags, Brown Boobies, Choughs and Redshanks might not make the cut, never mind a Cockatoo.

    My wife had a cockatoo before we met, at least that's what one of her friends told me.

    Penistone and Broadbottom are two delights of the Woodhead Line. And near where I live in Kent, there's Peene, Farthingloe, Buttsole, and - I assure you, this is a real place, it's between Faversham and a place called Dunkirk in Kent - Slutshole.

    Its getting beyond ridiculous now. Dovetail need to update this ASAP and just use some common sense.

    Not used a single swear word in my livery and its stopped me from naming it what I wanted so many times.

    Maybe you need to choose a new name for your railway, something other than Sexmoan and Beaver Lick RR (both real places)

    Is it proven that this filter is for censoring swears? That would make no sense, as anyone can write something 10 times as bad just using a pen and paper. Perhaps it’s a limitation in the code.

    It would be interesting for Dovetail to let us know what the restrictions are on naming conventions. I called a wagon CJM-1 as my first repainted wagon and that works fine. :)

    I’ve got a Beaver Liquor t shirt. Apparently it’s a real liquor store in the States but I haven’t plucked up the courage to wear it in public yet.

    So it's a co-incidence that it only blocks words that are even vaguely rude themselves, or contain vaguely rude words?
    I cannot in any way think how this is because of code limitations and what those even would be.

    It feels to me that they've gone to urban dictionary, copy and pasted all entries into a text document and put in the code:

    if ServiceName.Contains(Word From 'BannedWords.txt')
    MessageBox.Show("Invalid name");

    Which is just lazy in my opinion, if DTG do have to block swear words surely they could just manually input all the bad ones instead?

    DTG should just change the code because something like blackpool or passenger isn't bad in anyway

    There's a Beaver Firearms & Groceries in rural Oregon. I've taken a few selfies there.
