I've had this issue for a while now, I've noticed that most Battlenet games where players pub their games with swear words are unable to be joined.
Example: 'Revenge of the Niggers' or people putting 'Join you fucks' and stuff as their title.
I saw a map I wanted to play, but the host called it something like 'ERAS - Zombie Sluts' but I couldn't join.. yet as I refreshed, the lobby was filling so quick, that I missed it in the next 5 minutes.
So why does this swear filter apply to me? How do I get rid of it? This happens on MMH and ENT.
Cannot join bad word named games.. why?

@SoulxReaver What's the message you get when you try to join the game?

Thank you for taking up my issue Mod: Haunt.

"The game you attempted to join could not be found" instantly, no wait.

Are you sure you've typed the game names correctly? I've never heard of such filter so I have a hard time believing that's actually the case.
Re: Cannot join bad word named games.. why?
B.net censors those words in game names. Swear words will be replaced by symbols (i.e. "fuck" could become "&%?#") and will appear as such in the games list. This isn't reflected by f list indications, which will give you the original game name. It's just not very convenient. What makes this so important that you've been wondering about it for nearly a month?

The fact that MMH / ENT games list is right there and I cannot join it when I want to play.. ? :f
Alright so people join it by finding it in the game itself, via the Custom Game List, interesting.
