    How do I COMPLETELY turn off the Xbox profanity filter to stop it from affecting in-game...


    I've been playing the Final Fantasy XIV free trial and am finding that Xbox's profanity filters are affecting in-game content that appears in the game's activity log. It seems to be a common issue with not only this game, but others as well. The profanity filter is not only affecting text generated by other players in the in-game log, but it is affecting text generated by the game itself.

    Following the advice in another question's responses, I have already made sure all message settings under "Account >> Privacy & Online Safety >> Message Safety" are all set to "Unfiltered". I then hard rebooted the console to clear its cache by holding the power button for 10 seconds and letting the console sit powered off for a few minutes before booting it back up. But, this had no effect on the issue.

    The overbearing profanity filter is laughably bad by doing things like turning the word "class" into "cl???" and I would like to disable it COMPLETELY. I don't want the Xbox profanity filter to have any affect over what appears in games whatsoever. How can I completely disable it?

    :)

    How do I COMPLETELY turn off the Xbox profanity filter to stop it from affecting in-game content?

    Hello WILLIAM KOVALICK,

    Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the Xbox profanity filter affecting in-game content. Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely turn off the Xbox profanity filter. The filter is a built-in feature of the Xbox system and is designed to help ensure a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all users.



    Please note that even with these settings adjusted, some games may still have their own profanity filters that cannot be turned off. For those specific games, you will need to contact the game developer so that they can provide you options on how you can turn those off on some games.

    What you changed is your settings on Xbox's end. Some other games may have some specific words that is blocked or changed.

    Hope I helped! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further concerns. I will be waiting for you and I would be more than glad to assist you further.

    Why does Xbox even allow for profanity bans if it has a built in filter for it?

    You have to manually decide to turn off the filter. If you make the choice to turn off the filter you should not be able to get someone communication banned just for using a profanity. This is the craziest thing I think I have ever seen, and I've been playing Xbox since like 2008.
    In addition to what Zahir_Ramathula said its also because profanity filters arent perfect and dont catch absolutely everything so some things can still slip through even with the profanity filter enabled.
