How Biased is PSN's Name Filtering System?

-

I’ve noticed something strange with PSN’s name filtering system. For instance, a username that includes ‘fart’ gets flagged and made temporary, while ‘BadA$$’ seems to slip through the cracks. It seems really inconsistent! If I send ‘BadA$$’ in a message, I’m pretty sure it would get blocked. This makes me wonder just how biased the PSN safety team really is. Just to clarify, I didn’t face any issues myself; I tested this with those two names.

It’s true, people have been using symbols to bypass the word filters for ages! But if someone reported the name ‘BadA$$’, it would likely be taken down. It’s all about how strict the filters are with reported names versus those that slip through.

Yeah, I tried using symbols in a post once too, but PSN only allows limited ones for usernames—mostly just hyphens and underscores. It’s definitely a strange system!
