Censored words needing unblocked

[theunderlord]

probably the same reason you can't change the default setting from show 10 posts per page to 40, which is why every thread here is like 14 "pages" long

The people(s) that own the forum don't actually use the forum.

Is there some rationale for having a censored-list to begin with? Some sort of logical reason?

I'm guessing that it is a default somewhere in this particular forum platform, XenForo? Didn't have the censoring issues in the old days, and we all seemed to keep conversations respectable. I'd like to think that the vast majority of users are adults and the pearl clutching at the occasional S, D, or F would be minimal. I can't even write s-n-u-f-f when trying to say "keep up to ____".

En-large-ment? I can't use that word either? What is this, fourth grade?

What this is about has got nothing to do with nothing other than someone else's something that they don't want you to know anything about no matter what. Stop censoring or we'll all end up constantly expressing such nonsensical gibberish. Which is someones prime objective. Dispatch prospective internet advertisers to hell with their PC watch words.

I think we could unblock sp00k. Especially since it's becoming more common to sp00k a deer (or a turkey) and hit it. I think if anyone uses the word as a racial epithet around here, they'll get shut down pretty quick.

Or a spy!

We need to block a few more words;

Ford, Cold, and Snow come to mind.

I find all of these extremely F&#%^ng offensive!

I was using much more advanced language in 4th grade than that, granted I had already filled my swear jar full with worse than en-large-ment in 3rd grade alone.

well this thread was a good chuckle - was wondering how a- n - a - l got censored. had no clue! haha

So, if you accidently type your "********* Chevy" instead of "big block Chevy" does it censor it?

Edit: Yes, it does. I think this is another one that we don't actually have a problem with people saying. What if someone wants to brag on their big b1ack truck?
