Does anyone know why the chat censorship is inconsistent?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but sometimes the chat censorship will censor things and other times it won't. For example:

Most of the time after a match I can just type "ggs" exactly like this, but sometimes it will randomly censor it for some unknown reason. The same is true for slurs, which the system is supposed to prevent.

Another form of inconsistency is that it does not always even censor slurs and other hate speech.

I have been called the R word before and it wasn't censored, but people trying to type out perk names have their entire message censored.

I understand it's supposed to filter out hate speech and all the ways people try to get around it, but surely it can be better than this. Sometimes in endgame chat my friends or I are trying to type a nice message, and the whole thing gets censored even though we never swore or used any kind of swears, but a lot of the time people just assume we are hurling obscenities.

    Thread was moved because players nor BHVR know why.

    idk mate, the censorship system is a strange one.

    I hope bHVR gets out of the censorship system what they hoped they would cause its just annoying to censored on random words when talking to people.
