Hello admins
I just noticed that you cannot write s p o o n without the censor getting upset about it. I know I have a shocking potty mouth but in all honesty I think that's a bit OTT for anyone.
Are we still saddled with the need to take care of the impressionable young minds that don't ever post about news because it's boring and like they're too busy on Bebo anyway? Or could we maybe lose that whole swearing will make the sky fall on our heads mentality? Or at least tone it down so that we can discuss cutlery?
Ta!

Apart from anything else, p o o n is a US slang word and this is a British board for British swearing. I bet you can say gaper.

actually where i work now, we had a similar sweary filter on the VLE, and it worked in much the same way. I had to remove it when one of the students complained his name was partially blocked out. He was called cockburn

My company tried out a sweary email filter one day. It lasted about 4 hours, after which I raised the issue that I was about to miss a deadline because I could not email my tender to the client, because it made reference to our compliance with the Sex Discrimination Act and was automatically binned by our censor.
