Censorship=pathetic
The Censorship of this game is pathetic, I'm wondering is it the game or the system that is Censoring Stupid things.

for example using a note paper in game, naming dinosaurs, even using single player commands certain numbers are being Censored.

Numbers,

Seriously censoring NUMBERS

how pathetic is Censorship going to get.

what is so bad about the number 10

try naming a dino Stamina 10

or trying using singleplayer command
settartgetdinocolor 4 10

or any other region but using the number 10 as the color

any time I type the number 10 without anything attached to it it gets Censored.
this happens with several other numbers as well

and not just numbers but as a few days ago maybe a week ago the word raw has been Censored and it wasn't before.

this is pathetic.

is it wild card or microsoft Being pathetic out of control Censoring?

I know this is steam and not the same as the xbox version of the game but surely there has to be other people here that have it on both system and pc that know what I'm talking about who might be able to help me understand the pathetic out of control Censoring that is so bad they are Censoring numbers?

10 and 75 are some I can remember off the top of my head but there are others

also the word feces? come on what's the problem with that

when sorting inventory to put all feces in dungbeatle if you type feces it auto deletes your text and doesn't sort your inventory but you can use Fece and it will work

same with the word raw. it's out of hand and absalutely pathetic and unreasonable.

over a week ago I was able to type raw in the search bar of my inventory to sort all the raw meat to put in the feeding trough but as of a few days ago or so microsoft had an update and ever since then I can't use the word raw instead in order to sort the raw meat from my inventory I type aw luckily there isn't a lot of items that have aw in the name so it works but why is Censorship getting so out of hand?

it's pathetic and I'm assuming it's microsoft not wild card or steam.
Censoring certain swear words and other profanity is a bit too much censorship for me but at least I understand those things but why numbers like 10 and 75 among others and the word feces and raw I mean raw not too long ago was fine.

wish I could sue microsoft for violating free speech to be honest but this is getting out of hand and extremely ridiculous. unfortunately protection of free speech is limited to protecting people from government censorship not private business censorship despite them working hand in had together in many cases.

anyone else playing on xbox having these issues?

I would like to know if I'm being targeted directly or if it's a blanket Censorship across the board that everyone is experiencing.

On Xbox-Microsoft store version it's Microsoft filtering fault, Wildcard didn't it enabled on consoles so far.

You can report word filtering issues here, but plese be sure to report exact your platform(PC is steam/epic, microsoft is xbox and "windows 10") and if playing official or unofficial or SOTF https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/bugs/

Mental Health is very important. Please seek help you should not be this angry at video games let alone attempt to put this much effort into a post...

calm down, it likely took him less than an hour and he likely also enjoyed doing it. This is no less a good use of time than games themselves.

If I remember correctly, there's an option you can click to enable/disable the profanity filter.

In more than 2000 hours of ARK singleplayer/non-ded multi i never saw anything censored.
Maybe the Steam forum of ark is the wrong place to ask for Xbox related issues.
Better ask at the ARK forum directly or a forum related to xbox.

I'm afraid I don't understand how 10 or 75 or any number could be a cause for being blocked.
