Line 197:
** The forum for the online portion of the DS Transformers games filters out "dam" and "azz" despite Hoover Dam being a location in the game and Jazz one of the characters.
* The ''[[City of Heroes]]'' profanity filter was rather weird to start with (censoring "Jew", for instance) but at one point it went totally bonkers, censoring words seemingly at random -- "fist" can maybe be read as dirty, but some of the other variants most definitely not. Luckily the in-game filter can be turned off, and the official forums have a much saner filter.
*** It censored "45s," which occasionally came up if you and your team were fighting enemies in that level range. Apparently ''City of Heroes'' inherited its draconian profanity filter from an earlier NCSoft title, wherein "45s" had been used by players as a stand-in for the nigh-unspeakably filthy word, "ass".
*** You better not try to discuss religion - real or fictional - with anyone in ''[[City of Heroes]]'' either - 'God' is considered a swearword, probably due to the possibility that he may Damn you. Considering the nature of the game, however, it gets problematic if you want to tell someone that your Supervillain got his powers from an Evil *** .
** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]|Yu-Gi-Oh! Online]]'' has always been like this: Not only is it literally impossible to hold a conversation without half of a sentence coming out as censor stars, but many actual ''card names'' can not be used (try mentioning any of the '''drag'''ons in the game at your own peril).
* ''[[Maple Story]]'' censors out "can always" and "can also" to "c** **ways", "c** **so".
** Just for a laugh, log onto ''[[Maple Story]]'' and declare your intent to hunt pigs.
