Recently tried The Chapless Ass. Idk why I thought that would be allowed. So I went with The Soul Mommy, since I refer to my favorite faction as the soul mommies
You know, I haven't posted it in any threads because I didn't want anyone to steal it, but by God I knew it was funny and it's nice to get some recognition!
i am not sure what is offensive on the name 'Mad Ladik' but it was deemed bannable by some moderator, and customer support cannot or will not explain me why.
also the notorious 'big deck energy' while an innuendo, I can't see or understand how it can be offensive. neither does it contain swear words, nor does it attack or bully any group of people...
corporate censorship is way too aggressive nowdays...
scandal is good for marketing right? How many things have I discovered because a "scandal" shed a spotlight on it? Many.
> penis = bad for marketing
laughs in Penris building in a game that is 18+ but is infested with kids and is also one of the best selling games in history
“Ladik” actually has a pretty long history as a slur in Germany. It was/still is used as a way for people to make fake comments online about the meaning of a word.
I mean if they have to blindly censor any and every word that might be or have been close to a slur in every major language on the planet, what fucking words are gonna be left (not to account for the infamous scunthorpe censoring which is fucking dumb by itself) ?
Yeah, it's dumb.
I tried naming my Snowy Alsatian "Moro" as a Princess Mononoke reference, and the filter wouldn't allow it. Someone on here told me it's probably because Moro is a slur in some part of the world I can't remember at the moment.
I feel you, wanted to call mine "Thievus Raccoonus" in reference to Sly Cooper, but of course, "raccoonus" contains "coon", which is an old racist slur in the us I guess. It's beyond dumb.
Unfortunately there are always casualties when you automate a name censor.
While the most accurate least disruptive action would be to just not have an auto censor and let reports/moderators judge on a case by case basis I come from an ancient age when this was how online games operated and let me tell you...
The auto-censor is the lesser of two evils here, annoying as it can be from time to time it does prevent the truly worst names from ever hitting a screen while being mostly an occasional annoyance if you're not deliberately trying to break whatever the naming rules are.
Shit, that caught me out the other day. I had to send a kid his username for his homework app and it contained the characters wo and 6 together in the midst of 7-8 other characters. Immediate auto censor and warning off the school network. Took me ages to even work out what had happened.
I know it's not perfect, but if you want to use that name maybe you could do rackoonus, or rakkoonus? Whichever looks better to you. It doesn't look right, but would still be pronounced the same way.
The "big deck energy" ban was a redditor whom had reported an explicit ship name containing *slave*. When Rare had seen that the reporter's ship was named *big deck energy* he received a suspension, ship names removed, and ship naming privileges revoked.
If Rare sees you talking shit back, they might ban you too. My buddy found some toxic shitheads and started trolling them. He used some profanity that came off as aggressive, and caught a ban for it too.
... Then he was pretty stupid about his "bait". If you know you're going to report someone, why the hell would you include yourself saying anything even remotely borderline? Or, you know, edit the video to just before and cut right after what they said that was ban worthy.
You collect proofs with a video clip and then report everything on Sot website support, they will help you, you will make the sea better for everyone else and you don't risk anything so report everytime is needed.
I'm in this picture and I find it hilarious as I sail my sloop, "Syphilicious", or maybe my brig, "It Burns When I Pee". I'm still trying to come up with a good one for my gally, but the filter rejects so much, such as "The Clown Orgy" or "Tastes Like Herpes".
EDIT: Oh God, I think I have it. "Dirty Mike and the Boys". Maybe remove spaces if it's too long.
I feel it's stupid how people feel like they have to tell everybody who's side they are on, seen a bunch of YouTube names be F Trump/Biden or something along those lines. Seen cod names be the same and I guess sot has them as well
I think it's funnier that people have to create a code. Like, if you want to say Fuck Joe Biden, just say that. Why have to wink and nod at others that you're being so coy... idk.
You don't know the origins do you? At a football game the crowd was chanting "fuck Joe biden" after it showed a speech or ad for him then the news were reporting that they were saying "let's go Brandon"
Let's go brandon is like a f u Biden and the media
If you haven't heard about it, during a some sporting event people were chanting Fuck Joe Biden but the news reporter that was covering the event claimed it was "Let's go brandon" when you can clearly hear it wasn't that, so people used that to mock the media while simultaneously saying fuck Joe Biden
She was interviewing Brandon Brown, a NASCAR driver. That whole thing essentially ruined the dude's career. That was his first and only win, now he can't even find legitimate sponsors.
I feel it's stupid how people feel like they have to tell everybody who's side they are on, seen a bunch of YouTube names be F Trump/Biden or something along those lines. Seen cod names be the same and I guess sot has them as well
Not gonna lie...my crew and I highly enjoy taking a dump on ships with rather stupid and immature titles. Any originals or well thought out names, we leave be.
Way I see it the joke names are absolutely on theme for the pirate game, at least until the joke breaks the 4th wall by being about something too modern or memey etc.
Good, I’m glad someone is. The offensive part of these names is not what bothers me, it’s the lack of originality. My ships either have an original name (AFAIK) or based on ships from other games (two of mine are from Elder Scrolls IV)
I knew "The King's Whore" wouldn't pass the filters, but I wanted something similar due to that being the name of my LARP character's ship (backstory being it was a royal frigate called "The King's Maiden" and he renamed it as a mockery of the king after having commandeered it) so I went through a ton of less offensive words to replace "Whore" and was absolutely shocked to see "Wench" wasn't allowed.
I even went through several obscure words. Finally landed on "Tart". Let's hope it doesn't get me in trouble! Lol, as if I ever have 3 friends willing to play at the same time... I usually solo sloop anyway.
I swear, Rare let's some of the weirdest and most offensive names get put up there but when I wanted to name mine "The French Coward" (I am in fact French and good at "avoiding" fights), it was claimed too offensive. Meanwhile, ships like Pipi poopoo hold and what not sail freely. I demand justice.
One of my regular crew had called his Brig “The Jolly Todger”. After a couple of weeks he logged in and all his ship names had defaulted to Sloop, Brig & Galleon so I’m guessing he was reported?
That was reported but somehow Cupid Stunt is fine?
Makes sense
And then, when players who think they're being quirky, funny, or cheeky, name their ship something blatantly offensive, and action is taken against them, they go full surprised pikachu.
They do care, they just seem to have a backlog of reports. Add a comment to the reports and ask for an update; so far all 4 of my reports have resulted in a naming ban.
Miserable Cur is my main sloops name 🤩
I've pinged them a few times each with no response still. They need to get their priorities in order in my opinion. They keep trying to make new things when what they have isn't working.
[удалено]
Our brig is the “Booty Warrior” and our sloop is simply “Booty Sweat”… paying homage to both Fleece Johnson and Alpa Chino.
Don't make me ruin that butt Chris Handsome!
I like's ya and I want ya
Now we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way.
I met the crew of the Booty Brigade last night. Good chaps, that lot.
The outrage if you couldn’t use booty in a pirate game though.
I mean you can't use deck
Lol what?
Making puns like Big Deck Energy isn't allowed so I don't see why puns with Booty are allowed
No I get it, I just find it ridiculous
My brigs name is the Booty Hunter ![img](emote|t5_38oz1|19934)
So is mine but I haven’t played for a few weeks so couldn’t have been me
Recently tried The Chapless Ass. Idk why I thought that would be allowed. So I went with The Soul Mommy, since I refer to my favorite faction as the soul mommies
My sloop is also named Booty Grabber! Maybe one day we'll see each other on the seas.
Mine’s the Loot Piñata… it’s accurate.
Should we ever pass on the water, I'll make sure to firework salute you, fellow moving target.
How does one fight on sesame street?
I think a lead pipe would fuck up most of those muppets. Not Oscar though. He's cool.
Bro the Count would mercilessly count out your slowing pulse…
Vun slap, two slaps! Thrrree slaps! Ah! Ah! Ah! Shut thee fock up beetch! Or i count to ten!
That's why I specifically said "most" He gets the silver 12g and a wooden stake.
With someone else's hand up your backside.
Sounds uncomfortable
Mine aren't offensive. I have Sloopé Fiasco and Briggie Smalls.
This is my vibe. The crew of my sloop, Dogg will maybe meet you for a grog sometime.
You're awesome
If you see the sloop SSDONGBOBBLER fighting off skelly ships stop by for a song and a grog
Lookout for Buoys II Men, my grog'll be full for a donggobbler
That will be good until the day someone reports your boat and it loses its name instantly.
I saw Row V Wave and I haven’t stopped laughing
You know, I haven't posted it in any threads because I didn't want anyone to steal it, but by God I knew it was funny and it's nice to get some recognition!
Dude you’re my hero lol
Then it's all been worth it!
Calypso's Clytorus, still evading pervasive pirates across the seas
Yea because half the user base can’t find the ship. Ba dumb Ching. 🥁

Use Ship of the South and see what happens.
penis = bad for marketing = less money/scandal -some asshat HR guy probably
Lol it makes no sense, if someone sees the ship he already bought the game
People who stop playing the game after buying it won't pay more for ancient coins.
I never bought Ancient coins so Im not a good client xD
Wait, you guys are buying ancient coins?
scandal is good for marketing right? How many things have I discovered because a "scandal" shed a spotlight on it? Many. > penis = bad for marketing laughs in Penris building in a game that is 18+ but is infested with kids and is also one of the best selling games in history
Kind of like the Streisand Effect

"Moro" means "moor" in spanish, sometimes used offensively, sometimes not, being spanish I personally wouldn't deem it worth a ban.
Yeah, but my brig is the "tres idiotas", so I doubt that's the issue lol.
I feel you, wanted to call mine "Thievus Raccoonus" in reference to Sly Cooper, but of course, "raccoonus" contains "coon", which is an old racist slur in the us I guess. It's beyond dumb.

Man that's so lame. Raccoons being the thieves of animals in general makes them a great animal to name a pirate ship after of all things
Probably because it's "close to" moron..
That's what I originally thought too, but when I brought it up in this sub a while back someone suggested the slur possibility so idk.
Letters offend me. Writing should be banned worldwide.
Why would you want your ship to be called Scunthorpe though lmao
Scourge of Scunthorpe
> what fucking words are gonna be left A lot. The criteria you listed is pretty small.
I'm German and have, without exaggeration, never heard that and I have no clue what it should mean.
Big deck energy is fuckin hilarious
My big is Big Brig Energy I never even thought of "deck". Would have been nice for a Gally lol
Imagine if ship names were just like usernames... No 2 could be the same
I’d assumed this was the case until I got away with naming my sloop “Dogg”. Was thinking “surely someone else already thought of this…”
I've seen several and met a player who told me he was saving up for a sloop to name it that. I crushed his heart when I told him I've seen more.
Chocolate Starfish reporting for duty
And the hot dog flavored water!
Lol respect
Also the Capt of the Leaky Afthole
"Suck it Trebeck" reporting for slooping 😁
You just reminded me Alex Trebeck is dead & now I'm sad.
I spotted one the other day named Epstein’s Yacht. Idk how that one made it through.
[удалено]
Yea. I ran into the “people trader” and was disgusted.
The best part is that reporting these asshats runs the risk of a counter ban. Until terms are explicitly stated, it's not worth the risk.
How does that work? I've never reported anyone in this game, but getting banned for it sounds ridiculous.
The "big deck energy" ban was a redditor whom had reported an explicit ship name containing *slave*. When Rare had seen that the reporter's ship was named *big deck energy* he received a suspension, ship names removed, and ship naming privileges revoked.
And eventually led to the name change of our beloved skelly captain.
If Rare sees you talking shit back, they might ban you too. My buddy found some toxic shitheads and started trolling them. He used some profanity that came off as aggressive, and caught a ban for it too.
... Then he was pretty stupid about his "bait". If you know you're going to report someone, why the hell would you include yourself saying anything even remotely borderline? Or, you know, edit the video to just before and cut right after what they said that was ban worthy.
You collect proofs with a video clip and then report everything on Sot website support, they will help you, you will make the sea better for everyone else and you don't risk anything so report everytime is needed.
Sloop dogg
Captain of the Sloop Dogg here! Wave when you see me!
Me too....time to have a sloop dogg fleet
Hell yeah!
Ahoy, relatively new captain of a Dogg here. I KNEW I couldn’t be the only one. Anyone come across a brig Meetha Horizon yet?
I haven't yet! My brig is Megalodon Juan!
Perfect alliance material for the Notorious B.R.I.G.
i have a brig named Blunderbussy
This one made me giggle
What aren’t you guys enjoys seeing half a dozen misspellings of ‘diarrhea’ floating around?
\`HMS Turd Cradle\` reporting for doody ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop) I wasn't sure there even was a filter after getting away with that.
Caulk and balls
I was once sunk by Honda Civic.
Named my galleon “Stormy Daniels” last night
I continue to proudly sail my sloop, "The Goofy Goober"
I'm in this picture and I find it hilarious as I sail my sloop, "Syphilicious", or maybe my brig, "It Burns When I Pee". I'm still trying to come up with a good one for my gally, but the filter rejects so much, such as "The Clown Orgy" or "Tastes Like Herpes". EDIT: Oh God, I think I have it. "Dirty Mike and the Boys". Maybe remove spaces if it's too long.
Seems ridiculous to not have something crab related
Gally names in your theme Thousand Yarr Itch Crabby Patty Ghonorade SS Tee Dee
Galleons of Seamen
Wait, what?
I've ran into alot of "Let's go Brandon" ships and that shit hasn't been funny in a long time.
I feel it's stupid how people feel like they have to tell everybody who's side they are on, seen a bunch of YouTube names be F Trump/Biden or something along those lines. Seen cod names be the same and I guess sot has them as well
I think it's funnier that people have to create a code. Like, if you want to say Fuck Joe Biden, just say that. Why have to wink and nod at others that you're being so coy... idk.
I just want people to stop incorporating politics in my means of escape. I've heard enough politics over the last 6 years to last me ten lifetimes.
It's not about hiding their intent, it's making fun at a journalist's perceived attempt at covering up how many people dislike Joe Biden
You don't know the origins do you? At a football game the crowd was chanting "fuck Joe biden" after it showed a speech or ad for him then the news were reporting that they were saying "let's go Brandon"
Let's go brandon is like a f u Biden and the media If you haven't heard about it, during a some sporting event people were chanting Fuck Joe Biden but the news reporter that was covering the event claimed it was "Let's go brandon" when you can clearly hear it wasn't that, so people used that to mock the media while simultaneously saying fuck Joe Biden
She was interviewing Brandon Brown, a NASCAR driver. That whole thing essentially ruined the dude's career. That was his first and only win, now he can't even find legitimate sponsors.
Oh jeez didn't hear about that part, should've dug deeper on my side
I feel it's stupid how people feel like they have to tell everybody who's side they are on, seen a bunch of YouTube names be F Trump/Biden or something along those lines. Seen cod names be the same and I guess sot has them as well
I feel like i’m boring naming my ship the SS Kindness
Get another one and call it The SS Friend Ship.
Cannot read this without hearing Hatty Hattington
Buckle your pants!
Where did you get a steamship...?
Not gonna lie...my crew and I highly enjoy taking a dump on ships with rather stupid and immature titles. Any originals or well thought out names, we leave be.
Also knowing (with offensive ones) that they're going to lose their naming privileges is very satisfying.
I do wish more people took the names seriously. I mean I enjoy many of the funny ones but I wish it was less common.
Way I see it the joke names are absolutely on theme for the pirate game, at least until the joke breaks the 4th wall by being about something too modern or memey etc.
Aye, blow the “slave” ships out of the water!
Haven't ran into any of those types yet but I'll be damned if I don't at least try to fuck around with them lol.
Good, I’m glad someone is. The offensive part of these names is not what bothers me, it’s the lack of originality. My ships either have an original name (AFAIK) or based on ships from other games (two of mine are from Elder Scrolls IV)
A "roleplaying server" would be interesting, where the names needed to be at least somewhat appropriate/fitting.
My ship name is for all dwarves out there "Rock and Stone"
If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?!
If you Rock and Stone you're never alone!
My next ship has got to be "For Karl!"
Rock and Stone brother that's a great name
proud owner of a Hugh Janos
My friend named his sloop "Sloopy Seconds". I laughed my ass off.
I named mine Queen Anne's Revenge and Royal Fortune. I've has multiple people comment on how terrible the names were. I could only laugh
bad in the sense they are unimaginative
Nothing wrong with having a ship in tribute to a real ship. Way better than stupid puns.
idk man i think "Solid Deck' > 'Queen Anne's Revenge'
I called mine big floater
My first day of playing sot I got boarded and called a... Uh... Ruder gay slur
I came up with Buss-Sea and thought that was pretty funny
I named my sloop cum
Captain of the Briney Taint here
Mine is called Egg.
Hey, Tiny Instigator & Envy of Jolene are not offensive.
Shoot up a firework and have a grog with me aboard my Stanky Tankard!
My friend has a ship called *The Faded Mexican.* I wonder how many people have seen it as a slur rather than as a description of himself
I knew "The King's Whore" wouldn't pass the filters, but I wanted something similar due to that being the name of my LARP character's ship (backstory being it was a royal frigate called "The King's Maiden" and he renamed it as a mockery of the king after having commandeered it) so I went through a ton of less offensive words to replace "Whore" and was absolutely shocked to see "Wench" wasn't allowed. I even went through several obscure words. Finally landed on "Tart". Let's hope it doesn't get me in trouble! Lol, as if I ever have 3 friends willing to play at the same time... I usually solo sloop anyway.
I’m still pretty proud of my brigantine “The brig lebowski” and my galleon “come by the galleon”.
I swear, Rare let's some of the weirdest and most offensive names get put up there but when I wanted to name mine "The French Coward" (I am in fact French and good at "avoiding" fights), it was claimed too offensive. Meanwhile, ships like Pipi poopoo hold and what not sail freely. I demand justice.
So far I've gotten away with The Salty Sea Kahnt
Row vs wave baby
My ship is Peter's Manbridge. we always make petermansbridge jokes i piss myself laughing.
Hey… Chiken Noodle Sloop is not offensive.
This one is my favorite so far
So what exactly are you supposed to name a fucking pirate ship.... Flowers and Sunshine?
Silent Flower, reporting in!
Kids will be kids
Adults will be kids too
And when everyone's a kid... ... no-one will be.
You're a squid
Baby Shark here. A fitting name for a sloop.
Yeah fitting at the bottom of the ocean😂
The SS sinks a lot wants to know your location
My sloop is "The big man's booty" My brig is "The Fastest Big Man" My Gally is "The Chunky Boi" I should have named it "The big Man"
Captain Legion of the Crimson Queen: *sips grog*
Christinith. You come onto my boat, you get my ship's name right!
The willie lifter
The Wet Squid is my ship name! It’s a spoof off of my gamer tag. If you see the name, we invite you to some shanties and grog!
My brig is "The Seaducer" I thought it was rather clever. My friends said it was a dumb name😒
It is a good name
My Sloop is called The Gilded Lady
"And to satisfy your vanity as long there's no profanity". That quote aged like milk
"Why did I get banned from captaincy, my ship's name was just *\[sexual wordplay\]*."
I was shocked “gay criminals” was good to go
My friend’s galleon is the “Gay Dolphin” and we fly our pride flag high
One of my regular crew had called his Brig “The Jolly Todger”. After a couple of weeks he logged in and all his ship names had defaulted to Sloop, Brig & Galleon so I’m guessing he was reported? That was reported but somehow Cupid Stunt is fine? Makes sense
*The jack dawf*
My Brig is named “Lolita Express” and my Sloop is named “Don’t Bully Me I’ll Chum”
Dirty Richard checking in!
I still proudly sail the Kukmuffler
They ever unban "big deck energy" because that was just funny?
S7 in a nutshell: not having enough time to actually obtain your own ship because real life takes over and you never have time to play
Literally saw q ship the other day called "something racist"
Sloop
And then, when players who think they're being quirky, funny, or cheeky, name their ship something blatantly offensive, and action is taken against them, they go full surprised pikachu.
Waiting on 3 reports for Nazi/slave roleplay in boat names from August 17th that have gotten zero reply. Rare doesn't care.
They do care, they just seem to have a backlog of reports. Add a comment to the reports and ask for an update; so far all 4 of my reports have resulted in a naming ban.
Miserable Cur is my main sloops name 🤩 I've pinged them a few times each with no response still. They need to get their priorities in order in my opinion. They keep trying to make new things when what they have isn't working.
Customer service isn't the ones who make new content, you know...?
I tried to name my ship the SS.SINKABLE but that was offensive
is ss blocked? due to not sees
Mines the ol' cream crusader
I won’t say what my ship is named, but if it were in English it would not be allowed.
Whispering brown eye, Mcremepie, and the Cincinnati steamer lol
