Innocent-looking text strings being forbidden on Social Club

Question: When I try to create content such as nicknames or crews, it says the word is banned but I am not using any kind of profanity or ban language.  What is up with that?

Answer: We are aware of a few issues with our current profanity/hate speech filters and we are looking into this now.  Usually, this issue occurs because part of the string contains a forbidden combination of letters.  For example:

  • Parkland -- forbidden because of "klan"
  • Deviants -- forbidden because it contains the word "dev," currently reserved for Rockstar
