Why are some names ************
So I had originally assumed that these were PC users either making their names ********* or PC Users who made their names something naughty and the BHVR servers caught it with the anti-swear thingy they have on the end game chat filter but...
I just ran into a Xbox user who also had the ********* name. Which completely kills that theory since I know we can't change our names and if the name on here was inappropriate, it would be flagged by Xbox (and since I can see their profile, I know their name isn't vulgar or naughty or anything).
So....
What's up with the ********* profile names? Anyone know?

Well, the answer to that is pretty simple. It's because ***** *********** **** *****.

Well now I feel like a dummy! It's so obvious now that you pointed it out

Well the censor everything, Even normal words. I Mean it's a game where you murder people and the world "kill" gets censored sometimes. It's probably a filtered word that blocked it

Do you mean literal asterisks or the box/rectangular characters? If it's the box characters, it's because the name is written in a language that doesn't use the Roman alphabet (i.e., Hangul). If it's a literal asterisk, ShrimpTwiggs is wrong. It's because of **** *** ** **** ***.

Literal * as their name. Just a bunch of them in a row.

I'm not on PC so this is probably a dumb question but does the censor thing affect names? I was under the impression it was just the end game chat as I've seen some pretty hella dirty names for PC peeps...

You know i assumed it would censor names but now that you point it out I have seen names that defiently would be censored in chat. Only thing I can think of is the filter isn't very good at censoring names or is very particular. But in all honesty I have no 100% answer

I mean the filter has been known to be quite ****.
I **** seriously, some words ****** shouldnt even ** censored. Some times half a wo** will be ******** and it just doesnt make any darn *****.
