Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Why are there non offensive words banned?
For Instance Boned, and Highway are censored in map names and descriptions.

This is actually a legitimate issue in computing; it's called "The Scuntthorpe Problem", and it's what happens when auto-censoring software is written in a way that results in words getting censored regardless of other circumstances involved. The issue gets its name from an incident that occurred in the English industrial town of Scunthorpe back in 1996. The entire town got Internet access through AOL all at once, and when the residents tried to create their accounts, the name of their town got red-flagged. Why? Look carefully at the name of that town, and you'll see it. The auto-censoring software got WAY too zealous.

That's what you're seeing, OP. The game's auto-censoring software is censoring the names of those maps because it's seeing words on its "bad word" list in the names of those maps. The actual meaning of the names don't matter to the auto-censoring software; all that matters is the word-within-the-word.

Evil wants to control our speech. Other parts of our brain are influenced and easier to manipulate once we self-limit our own speech patterns. :controlpope:
Boned I get, but I have never found why moderators go crazy with censorship on forums or in movies and games. I have seen words such as bunny and corn hidden.

It has been this way for decades.
some stuff is written the same but has different meanings in other languages

you can turn the censoring off but it'll only show for when people are typing on your end, if you type something its just going to show what words it censors. very strange implementation
