The RB name filter for bands is pretty tight... I made a band called "Push it to the limit" and it told me it wasnt "classy"... anyone else have some perfectly fine band names not go through?

It didn't mind my band "Poopertronix."

Interesting...

IGN had the IGNorant Sluts. I would think that would be overboard. I need to check this out.

My band name is Tweekstar, so no reason why I hadn't seen the filter work.

Too many chars?

I haven't tried anything that gets stopped by the filter, but my fiance wanted to name our band "Poke the Kitty" because she was poking our sleeping cat while I was creating the band. She changed her mind rather quickly once I explained the double meaning there. :D

It may be that there are too many spaces in that name you tried. Most successful bands have one or two word names.

my character's name is jizza. I have used that name for every video game character name for years. (My name is james. I figured snoop dogg would say jizzames. So I just shortened it) It never occurred to me that it was inappropriate until Rock Band pointed it out to me.

Lol, that is great! :D

My band is Double Team Supreme, but it got past the filter just fine.

It obviously doesn't know the Tenacious D reference.

Yeah, this filter is messed up. It wouldn't let me use "Neptune" in my character's name. What do they have against Neptune? It's a pretty cool planet.

For the sake of asking, can somebody see if a band with the word "suicide" gets past the filter for me?

It would be a shame if my bro and I had to abandon our longstanding band name.

It would not allow T.J. Bonk
Go figure

Yeah, apparently, my characters name of ******o Montalban isn’t “classy” either. :(

It accepted both the band name Large Hassy and the name Eliot G. Bilade from me!

Bonus points to those who get the reference...

I'm sorry...did you say warrant. Don't think I would consider them really successful unless they get residuals from strip bars.

Amazing.

they allowed my band name "Wasabi Bombers" but didnt allow the character name of "mick"

or the quote "We are a spicy explosion of ROCK!"

Like I said in the other thread, its also blocking my name out.

Dani

I'd like to know what harmonix finds so obscene about my name :p

Nothing Offensive... Probably blocked it because it is Dani... As in Dani California (song by RHCP in the game?).

We wanted to be Syndrome of a Down, but go figure it was already taken by about 1PM EST on Tuesday. Wasn't rejected tho, said it was taken and we could only use it offline.

Now we are Reagan SMASH!

I mentioned this in another thread - we got blocked on the character name "Fabian Sly." Seriously strange filtering.

Sex Knights isn't filtered. Odd.

Heh, I created a character named Hugh G. Wreckshin, no problems there :D And my friend made another character with an obscene word that started with a D. I didn't even know there was a filter until I had read this.
