    Why does SE hate Opo-Opo?

    Even before 2.0 started I had been wanting to name my FC or linkshell 'The Opo-Opo Club', but apparently Opo-Opo is a forbidden or restricted word. Not sure why, since I can use Moogle, and other monster names just fine, but Opo-Opo is a restricted word (with or without the hyphenation).

    Just curious why haha!

    Maybe cause it says "poop" in it? Game filters are odd that way, I am probably wrong tho. That is the only thing I can spy in the name that would have given issues in other games I play. People would often use spaces or other means to use bad words, so the filter system started removing the edited ones as well. (again I am probably wrong...it is just the only thing I can think of...).

    I have no clue why it will not let you otherwise XD.

    You can't use the word Thanalan in a linkshell/FC name cause it contains the word "anal"

    . . . Just because someone "might" use a bad word in their name is a sad reason to ban it altogether. There are too many smaller words that make up other words, that shouldnt be restricted. And I never even noticed Opo-Opo had "poop" in it because its always hyphenated -_-;
    And how is poop a really bad word anyways lol?
    Wish SE would change it though. Seems ashame to have words that the game uses, but we cant use haha

    Out of curiosity what about mechanics is bad. Is there a smaller word within it thats bad/ If there is Im not seeing it XD

    I think its funny Poop and anal are banned words in a game where bitch and whores are used fluently.

    Isnt the game also rated Teen+? What teens are offended by the word poop?

    i came in here expecting something different, instead got a good chuckle, so did some of my fc mates after i told them about it.

    but agreed, these example of language filtering going a tad overboard

    No idea, but SE doesn't like people that repair stuff

    Or puns on "Boss Mechanics"...
