are naughty words censored?
« on: September 11, 2008, 21:16:46 pm »
of course i would never use them on the main boards but i sent a pm with a mild swear word on it to a bw friend and it changed the word completely. Never noticed this before. . . Not that i swear a lot, oh goodness, am making myself look bad now!!! Is this a new thing to help with moderation of threads where people may slip up and use a swear word?

Yes and it even changes the word too .I tried to write locum and carseat before and it wouldn't let me unless I spaced them out but it is letting me now for some reason . They are not even swear words

But it makes it hard for readers to work out some words ,especially if they are not swear words .It took me ages one night to get around the " locum " .I thought I had hit the wrong keys ,used the spell check but in the preview post before posting ti was saying "locum" but not when i posted .I was baffled ( doesn't take much ) I had to use a space in the right place to get the word to come up  ::) . The person I was writing to thought it was a british slang word for something  ;D

Oh ladies....you are behind the times, get with the programme!!

The auto sensor was switched back on about a month or so ago. However, we mods complained to Gareth that it was a bit over the top...carseat got changed to cumbat, simply because of the a r s e in the middle  ::) And locum because of the c u m. Gareth relaxed the rules slightly to keep us happy  :P

Can't believe you've only just noticed! Oh hang on, it obviously means you have cleaner mouths that mosy of us LOL!

I think it was the BLW threas that tipped us off....c u c u m b e r caused problems  ::)
