Can't Use Band Name, No Reason Given

[recharge138]

This has been an issue since RB1. Very bizarre filtering, but colorful use of number replacements usually work (a band called the QU33Fs used to be a top band on the leaderboards, IIRC).

Kinda weird its still there with no online, tho.

Has anybody had this problem? I didn't think there was any online component (gameplay or leaderboards) so why would it deny ANY band name? I decided to change my band name from "Blockheads" to "15 Seconds" but it says I can't use it. Anyone have any ideas?

If Blockheads is not able to be used either, try spelling it like this: Blockhe@ds.

I'm using Blockheads. I was trying to change the name to 15 Seconds.

Boy, those ESRB people would be screaming for vengeance if they played any game rated "E" with a custom character naming component.

Poor Pokemon games are going to be filtered to the limit, and it's going to be sad.

I still remember the days when Red and Blue came out, and being the immature elementary students we were, we kept naming our Pokémon "A**HOLE" and "JACKA**" thinking it was the funniest thing in the world. I still name Gary "DOUCHE" every time I restart my Yellow file.

Yeah Audiogasm didn't work for me

I got skunked on "coconut"

What's next?

The game shuts down everytime you say dirty words through the mic?

[LoopyChew]

Between "Bacon," "Coconut" and "15 Seconds," I'm absolutely sure that "con" is the culprit. Bit silly if you ask me, but there you have it. Maybe if you used a "0" instead of an "O" the filter'll gloss it by.

It's been an issue far longer than that. The content filers are actually not created or maintained by Harmonix. It's Sony, Microsoft & Nintendo that are responsible for those.
