I have seen people with names like:

--Passthebong (drugs)

--Cocainepower (drugs)

--Fyourmom (sexual content, insult)

--Cat-Wang (sexual content)

How do these names get past the censors?

Because censor is just a

Because censor is just a database of certain words, if the word is missing, it wont alert the censor. The database cant cover all combinations.

Thats why there is "report player" ingame option.

Also, only 1 of names you listed here are existing knights. 3 of them didnt existed at all or got deleted.

There's also the issue of inadvertently censoring perfectly legitimate names when the censor depends on specific sequences of letters - "cockatrice" is an example I like to use.
