Censorship filters

[Josh66]

OK - I realize that it was a bad idea to make the censorship test thread that I started the other day...
(I honestly didn't expect it to get so much attention... And I didn't expect this thread to get the attention it seems to be getting, lol.)

It seems we have some new words added to the list now...

I don't have a problem with that, but isn't there a way to make it ignore words that are actually just part of a larger word?

Cir***stance, for example.

edit
I think we can all tell what the censored word in that example is, but 'staring it out' just draws attention to it in that case. I'm not saying that word should be removed from the list, but there has got to be a way to make it leave 'parts of words' alone, right?

Yeah, honestly, I was a bit surprised when I saw one of my posts with the *** of censorship. Especially, for a word like cir***stance.

 

[Dillard]

Well....you see, there are certain cir***stances where it is needed....




Alright, Ive had my fun. I agree, it does draw attention to the word. On other forums I'm with there is an option to edit censorship. That way its a personal choice, an not such a nuisance for some

The filters are easy to get around. You're just a victim of circúmstances.

I agree with the problems with filters, though. I guess one cannot suggest shopping at Dîck's Sporting Goods.

I will not suc***b to such nonsense as playing this silly game.

 

[Ernicus]

...I lied.


Mostly because the cir***ference of my cu***ber was most ***bersome, while the all the while my friends made a ***ulative effort to have me cir***sized.



I'm still troubled by it.


Greatly.

 

[Josh220]

The ***ulative cir***stantiality of these threads force me to ac***ulate a rather de***bent nature.
