To me it's not the word but the statement "not so legi*****" (I don't want to spell the complete word for this post being flagged) that's the issue. You are implying something illegal.
Legitimate is not an offensive word. How would the swear filter detect implications of illegal activity?
I did not say the word alone but the statement itself.
If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. Live in your Truth.

I was a little confused that you obscured an otherwise inoffensive word but the question still stands; how would an automated filter know that from a vague line? The issue is that a "disallowed" word has been used in the description and "not so legitimate" just doesn't seem very plausible for an automated system to block.
Yeah, a cuss filter cant detect intent. IMO it should allow something it flags to be uploaded to the Gallery, but hide it from the public until its been reviewed and approved by a human.

Humans would have to do this, and the gallery would either be empty if they approve before uploading, or filled with spam because there are not enough hands on board. I.M.O. We just accept it, they at least allow words in our private games, but maybe they unblock some names for their own characters.
@BettyNewbie1 I wasn't say stick everything in a moderation queue. Just the stuff that cuss filter objects to at present. And the Gallery is already full of spam, although there do seem to be less pregnant teens than usual.
It's very confusing and frustrating: many times it has happened that when I'm writing a description for a house (or other type of lot) that I built, especially when I'm writing in my native language, then when saving it to my library, it says "you are not allowed to upload this to the Gallery, because there is a forbidden word in the title or in the description". I don't understand and I can't figure out which word it is, that is considered to be forbidden, because all of the words in my description (written in my native language) were totally normal. The system is weird and confusing

Thank you for the reply, this makes much more sense. I.D.K. If they've put new rules, but I've noticed less pregnant teens, too. Those mods are just very weird to me, and I really dislike the stories simmers come up with for them, some make it out as something great... It is such a tragic situation.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ is not allowed to put on the gallery, but this is Katrina Calinte's original name. Have to put in Nihat and tell simmers to put the G in ROFL!
Same for Ophelia 'Specter''s actual last name, can't use it so they changed it in their gallery recreation.
I made my own version of that family and made her name Enigmos to get it through.
I remember making a post a while ago that contained the word i*d*i*o*t and that wasn’t ok. Also h*e*l*l isn’t allowed... but there’s the Vampires character called Miss H*e*l*l!! It’s a bit ridiculous when it gets to the point that people aren’t allowed to use names of characters in the game.
Yeah, I recently made a post where I tried to refer to my Sim as a j-e-r-k, but that gets caught in the filter as well.
Just found myself blocked from saving when editing some townies.
The random Japanese surname given to one townie, was filter blocked. Like, if you're going to block a word, maybe don't also put it into your name generator. Or maybe make an exceptions list when it's a real actual surname... Fukuda
One end of the program not knowing what the other end is up to.
I don't use Discord because it doesn't support multiple accounts and I don't need folks at work wondering what I'm doing even on my own time. Until Discord catches up with every single other voice / video conferencing system, I limit where I use it:

Yeah, the filter is atrocious when it comes to many Japanese first and last names.
Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults

Yes, Yosuke is blocked too for some reason, I had to change my sim's name to Yohsuke. Which is a correct spelling variant too, I think, but still.
Also, "he'll" is not allowed in the description, which is ridiculous, especially when Maxis has Miss Hell on their own gallery page.

It's absurd. Like...why would you name your character something that the gallery doesn't allow people to type out? I left a comment on the "Rebellious Vampires" household asking as much.
It drives me nuts when 'disallowed' words are words that are part of in-game products. I'm also a bit concerned because '❤️❤️❤️❤️' is a disallowed word as well, but people sometimes make horrifically bigoted comments on gallery content featuring same-gender couples.
I'm mad about this all over again. It's not a bad word, it's a word describing a bad *thing.*
@MyriadSims *sigh* That, it is. Though tbh, knowing that 'transphobic' isn't a banned word is kind of a relief. And from the look of it, 'gay' isn't a banned word either. I guess it is just the filtering system being overzealous; I was nervous for a while there.

They disallow red-neck on the forum, which offends me as a rural European-American.

I would say it's the Octopus's Garden that is causing the issue.
LOL the censors sounds like a puritanical old granny....
Who's censoring the Gallery, Mrs. Crumplebottom?

The filter system in game and here on the forums is ridiculous.
