Are you Joking STO?

Seriously STO, you are going to auto filter out the word bong?
I am trying to put the universal greeting in as our fleet's message of the day:
Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong
Yet the game is automatically changing bong into !@&! instead.
Yes I have profanity filter turned off. Bong is not even profanity. You have to be kidding me that they actually are censoring the word bong from being placed in the fleet message of the day.

Add an extra "n" ?

If you want to have real fun, turn on the profanity filter and see what gets $%@&'ed. A suggested topic to get things rolling:
William Shatner's Hit Song
(Just type the topic, don't put yourself through looking for the Shat singing...)
But the universal greeting is NOT promoting drug use. Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong is a line from the Transformer animated movie and is the universal greeting of friendship. Has nothing to do with drugs. Also look up the definition of Bong, wait here I did it for you:
bong1
bäNG/Submit
noun
1. a low-pitched, resonant sound such as made by a large bell.
"the clock had struck the hour, and it was only three bongs"
So I see everything wrong with STO assuming that a word has to be drug related when it is not.
I live in a state where weed is already legal, but I'm not bothered by being unable to promote it in fleet messages.
The Universal Greeting?
The Censoring of Bong?
The Use of Bong?
Bing Bong?
As someone who is dead against legalizing it, I'm against censoring Bong
It's like when someone thinks insults are universal over the world. What's a insult in one country will most likely not be an insult in another. It's quite funny the reaction of the insulter when you inform them it's not an insult where you live...ROFL!
Over-active censorship by Cryptic makes business sense for a "family friendly" game even if it seems silly to rational adults.
Especially since they're fine with their child becoming Admiral Death, Slayer of Millions.
I guess someone forgot to offer them an energon goodie.
(Five live action films later and the 1986 cartoon movie is still the best of the bunch. Maybe that's due to it BEING a Transformers movie instead of Hu-mons with giant robots relegated to supporting characters with no personality)
This is transformers and it is awesome.....Shame on the mod who didn't understand what this is...strip them of the geek culture badge!!!
as i realized, they screen out drug words and sex/crime words.
geez, oh wow! i keep getting various wines and mix strong drinks, and they still go thru readable.
Wait? William Shatner had a HIT song?
I know that he spoke while music played and it was recorded, but can any one these recordings be called a HIT in any genuine definition of the word HIT?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shatner%27s_musical_career
This is the definition of all the rap and hip hop noise today.
Although I have to disagree about the accompanying noise as being anything like music.
The Shatner has paid his dues.
"Common People"
"Real"
The Shatner does not pay dues. The Shatner collects dues.
Are you sure you didn't mean the wrong direction?
You sound like a smegging politician/big pharma exec.
You obviously never heard of a thing called 'free will'. Not to mention right/wrong is totally to one's view point. To me, the 'war on drugs' is a JOKE, just something to make MONEY, and to wreck the lives of everyone. Whatever you do, DON'T run for politics.
I like how you think, Crashy baby.
