Sturdy is prohibited because they probably added turd to the censor list.

Lightsaber is banned. I named my saber vendor Lightsabre kits. Most people can't read anyway.

I'm sure there are many more I've come across, but this is the only one I can remember accurately.

Don't think so much that lightsaber is banned..they just kept a lot of the "popular" names from being vendor names. You can not for example, name a vendor with Wookiee in it.. I was trying to make one for my wookiee clothing and had to go with Wookie.. heh

I was trying to name a vendor something one day, don't remember what--"Cheap Stuff" or something like that. I could not do it, couldn't do any variation, nothing. Finally, in a fit of pique, the next attempt was to name it "Hot Monkey Love."


It worked and stood in my workshop for two months.

I tried "Ikeiva's Pick-up and Drop-off" which wouldn't work for some reason, als many variations of that wouldn't work either, finally I was able to get "Ikeiva's Pickups and Drop-off"... thought it was cause there was some other 'ikeiva' out there hogging up the vendor names.

I tried creating an "Armor Discount" vendor once. For some reason, "discount" is a bad word?
