It looks like the Xbox LFG app is censoring the word 'check' ?

Hi! I'm trying to make a post on the Xbox LFG app. But I keep getting the message "Keep it Clean...". After changing the words I was using, it looks like it is getting triggered on the phrase "checkpoint" and "check point".

Can you please whitelist these terms? It is a harmless word/phrase that is essential for me in using the LFG app to communicate that I am at a certain point in a game. I was able to use the word "checkpoint" several weeks ago but it looks like it is no longer
allowed. I tried this via the Xbox app on my Windows 10 PC, as well as the app directly on the Xbox One console, but I get the same "Keep it Clean..." message.

Xbox may be thinking that I am soliciting for money? (even though it is spelt cheque here in Australia)

:)

Yeah I've been getting the same problem, I was playing dark souls and I tried doing a look for group post and apparently the phrase "can I get help" is censored, so I tried switching it to "can I get assistance" and it was still censored, so whoever designed
this clearly had no idea what he/she was doing

Thank you. But like I said, I was able to use the word fine few weeks ago when I previously used the LFG app, so it's a new addition.

Hi, sometimes words mean different things in other countries and they get flagged. It happens.

Thank you. I just found it weird that Xbox would censor such an innocent word. I doubt many people solicit money with checks these days. Like you suggested, I think I will try and use other words, and my friends suggested using misspelling like chekpoint
or abbreviations like chkpoint next time.

I can't help with getting that phrase/word whitelisted but instead of saying that, could you use the word "stage" instead?

as in "I have reached this stage of the game"
