* The chat room for the online [[Transformers]] game ''Battle for the Allspark'' was bad enough that you couldn't describe how you liked the scene where Sam is on top of a skys'''crap'''er, and worse that you couldn't say your favorite character is '''Bum'''blebee, but once you got to the point of not even being able to say the game was '''fu'''n, it was simply ridiculous.
** 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 *** .
