Abigail William Is Profanity?

[s_linkletter]

Can someone explain to me why I can't trade a Pronghorn Antelope named Abigail William due to the profanity filter? Abigail is the name the game gave her, and William is the name with game gave her sire. If either one of those words is profanity, then Planet Zoo already swore at me when they named my animals. I was able to put up other Pronghorn Antelopes from that zoo for trade at the same time, so it is not the name of the zoo that is a problem.

Did a profanity filter message show up?

Yes. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198370004426/images/?appid=703080

A quick google search shows Abigail Willaims was a child, and a key part of the Salem witch trials.

There's an extra 's' on the end, but this could be a reason.

This profanity filter is just super sensitive. If there's even a hint of a word that could potentially be an insult in any language, then it will most likely be blocked. It's a pretty common thing especially for games that are big in China (which PZ is).

I can't tell you what exactly is the problem with your name but you're just going to have to deal with it.

Except his animal name has no "s".

Depends how over-zealous the filter is I guess. Of course I may be completely wrong :D

Yup, it's worse than having auto corrupt (correct) turned on when your typing.

I'll just have to remember to shout "Abigail William" at people when I get angry at them. If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em, right?
