That’s pretty weird.

I bet they extended their banned names list to tons of languages and this name picks up a weird slur in portuguese or armenian.

Per GPT, “I did a sweep of linguistic and cultural contexts, and there’s no evidence that “Abe Lincoln” or “Abraham Lincoln” is used as a slur in English or in other major world languages. No part of “Lincoln” (including “coln”) translates to or functions as a slur in Portuguese or Armenian.”

No idea why Lincoln is banned lol.

But has anyone asked, “How Abe Lincoln?”

I have it on good authority that MargaretThatcher also didn’t make it past the filter…

I’m not sure, but I’ll see if I can add it to the allow list! Try again shortly. :slight_smile:

If you figure out what part of it was the issue I’m really curious.

Apparently ‘lincoln’ had a low-severity flag of ‘Politics’ applied to it. :person_facepalming: I’ve added this term to our allow list as well.

Interesting.

My previous message was plain deleted by FS, without receiving any notification from the forum.

I was mentioning the censorship of their boss, the chinese communist party.

That was me - because this isn’t the place to discuss your views on the CCP. This is a post where somebody is asking for help with their username.

you guys need to FREAKING focus on fixing the bots on vermintide 2 some of your most dedicated players all over the internet are starting to give up on the game like me because its almost unplayable at this point. its like the rework that got done months ago was reversed and made x10 worst. im about ready to abandon ALL FatShark games cause were starting to feel betrayed at this point. and truuuust me. theres a huge amount of people all over reddit freaking out over it. Bad. completely unacceptable what happened to the bots. worrying about fixing names while one of your most “succesful” games is basically un FREAKING playable at this point. ridiculous.
