    Currently, we aren't allowed to say the name 'Travis' in chat without the filter attacking us. This makes it difficult to communicate with someone named Travis.

    If there's a reason that I am unaware of as to why we cannot say 'Travis', please inform me so I can delete this thread :).

    Thank you!

    That's what I thought, it might be a former staff member or a very upper high one.

    I think the filter needs a massive overhaul, so support for unfiltering Travis!

    The fact that they even do this ruins the whole point of the intentions. If you want information to be private don't make it obvious, it literally is defeating the whole purpose.

    Support because tbh it's just dumb

    Support! Kinda makes it hard to communicate if someone's ign involves Travis. No reason to make all those named Travis suffer.

    Thank you all for the overwhelming support in our attempt to unfilter the name 'Travis'
    I want to point out one thing which was brought up by Calidre

    I can't find any logical reasons to have this word banned, but one thing that players have said is to protect the identity of someone, maybe a staff member.

    Calidre makes an excellent point here. Let's say Noobcrew's name is, for instance, Travis. Nobody would know because his IGN doesn't relate to the word Travis and I doubt he's said it anywhere. Now, filtering the name Travis to "protect identity" would make me believe that Crew's name is Travis.

    Do you see where I'm going with this? As Calidre said, this literally ruins the point of the intentions.

    I am fighting for justice for my fellow SkyBlockers named Travis.

    This is potentially the most obscure and baffling word filter ever, and if harassment / doxxing is already against the rules, I see no reason for this filter to exist personally. It's not like there's only one person in the world named Travis.

    I would say this whole situation is a travisty...
