Ok, so this is a two part post.
 
First, why is "SS" not allowed as a word within a mail? I have an addon that types in the name of items that I attach to a mail, and all my crafted support systems, which have SS, always tell me it's invalid text and won't let me send until I delete that portion.
 
That being asked, why do you not allow us to send naughty words in mails? Especially to my own alts. When I'm forced to send items via mail to my alts due to no shared bank, I find it amusing to call them names. I'm unable to do so with this restriction =( Can't you just apply the same filter from chat (whatever the player has chosen) to mails? I should be allowed to call my alts the soul sucking wenches they are ;)

The only thing I could equate SS to as far as censor-worth is the Schutzstaffel (S.S.) of World War 2.
 
 
Or, in a more likely conundrum, someone misspelled 'ass' in the in-game swear filter.

			On a related note, why is there a 4-letter minimum on forum searches? Do you know how many gaming acronyms are 3 letters? The best kinds!

			But back on topic.... please let me swear at my alts via mail =P And apply whatever filter a player has to them so they don't have to see swear words from others if they don't want to.

			"SS" is also here in Norway sort of banned (due to the nazies)..one tries to avoid using those to letters together in all part of society....particular in anything public related.

Do you, by chance, have any clarification on why "SS" isn't allowed in mail?

I don't right off the top of my head, but I can certainly try to find out. :) It's not the first time it has been brought up, we also have a thread on it in the bug reports section.

SS stands for Salazar Slytherin. Obviously the filter was written by his archrival Godric Gryffindor.
 
(Sorry Chillia, I know politics aren't allowed here but the SS/GG feud is an important historical fact.)

			I thought I was the only one that sent mail like that to my alts ^_^ if it were up to me, only because I keep forgetting to try it, I would have named all my alts "Minion one" "Minion Two" "Minion Three" but my exile would be called "Rejected Minion".

As a side note, the following was addressed today regarding mail:
MailMail text that does not pass the profanity filter is now replaced with ‘*’
 
 
Lets stay on topic please. :)

two things:
 
1) If there is a list of banned words in the game, in-game items should not be named with words from said list - e.g. various Support Systems are have names with "SS" in them...
 
2) A filter that cannot be turned off makes a mess out of mail conversations in a language that is not English. E.g. the common word "end" (as in "the end is near") in Swedish looks like a sexual insult in English.

I discovered the SS thing when trying to create a guild note.  I have my main, and then the notes are "Remi's Esper", "Remi's Medic".  Well I created a spellslinger and I tried to make the note "Remi's SS" however that wouldn't fly.  Took me forever to figure out that it didn't like "SS".  
 
And yes, my money is on the Nazi reference.  Why that's disallowed, I don't know.  Maybe to prohibit Nazi-like guild names?  It's a little weird though.  Also maybe it had something to do with releasing the game internationally.  Perhaps it was thought that permitting this would violate some policy in Germany or something.

Truth be told I don't think that's going to come up on even the EU servers.  Is there a Swedish language pack?

Hey Folks,
 
We are investigating this issue right now. It may not be an easy fix. Everything works off our bad words lists for each of our support languages, which do include some words that cant be used in guild names, but should be fine in chat or the mail interface. I am having our engineers take a look.

			Thank you, Mr. Smiley! Even just getting the SS thing fixed would be nice (tho the mail changing to a * will make it so i can at least send support systems now) but really applying the already-established player choice on filtering would be better. The naming filter shouldn't apply to mail!
