Original Post — Direct link

Did they change their algorithm to censor even more things in our names?

Why can't we choose if we want names to be censored or not? I find this really annoying. I already changed my name once because it was censored (I will admit that it had tasteful use of the word "sh*t"). Now my new name, which has no cusses in it, is being censored.

I just want my name back.

Can you share your in-game name with me so I can look into this?

My old name when they started censoring was 'Bret "The Shitman" Shart'. Then I changed it to 'The Shart Foundation' and I didnt have any issues until now. And now it's 'The ***** Foundation'.

I've made an adjustment that should take effect in the next 12 hours. This should resolve the filtering issue with your current name.

Hi, u/Dirkened!

My Steam name is The Shart Foundation.

I am prepared to make a case that shart is not a cuss word, if need be. Let me know.

Also, any plans to convert name/chat censoring into an option in the settings? I'm not easily offended and seeing ***** all over the place is an eyesore, personally.

No plans to share on allowing players to disable the filter.

I mentioned in another comment that I made an adjustment that should stop your name from being censored. This change should take effect in the next 12 hours.
