I encountered it several times and it took a while before I noticed the reason.
Typing text into any chat i often get the notification that my wording is inappropriate.

I chat in german with german friends which is causing some problems.
Example: "Do you want to play a game" translates to "hast du Lust ein Spiel zu spielen"
I could never type that until I noticed that "Lust" is a "forbidden word" here. That is VERY confusing especially for newbies: how can they know?
The word is totally harmless in german.

One of my friends has the name Willy in real life. Same problem.

Here is the message I get in both cases above:

Wir entdecken ein Wort in deinem Chat-Beitrag, das von anderen als Beleidigung/Schimpfwort/aggressive Äußerung aufgefasst werden kann.

Can that be fixed somehow?

The detecting of bad words should depends of the language used in his text, the same could happen whit some harmless french words. Even in that language I actually change the original name of "flat out" in rallyman gt "french translation" to something else, was: "grosse attaque" in official french words of "flat out" because the warning appear, detecting the bad word that i think it was: "gross", because of that, I put back to english, and someone else proposed "jet d'attaque", and I think it's better like that.

It should just be disabled, it creates more problems than it solves. Just have one message appear at the start of every table, for example: "if you encounter inapproriate behaviour, you can report this".
