    Yes, the word censor has been enabled a coupld of days ago. There are just a couple of words being filtered, and I am checking to see if we can maintain a whitelist of words that are left alone.
    can't you just change the regexen of blacklisted words to only trigger if the offending pattern is surrounded by whitespace? eg not part of some other word.

    And would you say it's been proven inaccurate 1/2% of the time? 1%? maybe 10%? Do we all act like such idiots and trouble makers, or just a small percentage?

    I would agree that some people that log on to forums can be, lets say , STUPID! But maybe there is a away for this gentleman to be part of our community without compromising the safeguards that kkep this place what it is OUR HOME..

    Guys,

    Just a quick clarification. So Yamas.hita is not, that I am aware of at least, a member of this forum (although it would be great if he were).

    So is a purveyor of fine Natural Japanese whetstones of the kind O_S sells. His name gets mentioned from time to time because some of us have bought, or are planning to buy, stones from him.

    I don't want to put words in Gugi's mouth here, but I think this thread was started with some tongue in cheek, gently poking a bit of fun at the automatic censoring software recently introduced, and using So's surname as an example of where it does funny things.

    James.

    I don't know. I had the same idea. but then the problem becomes blacklisting all the possible permutations of words like s.hit or c.ock and the rest of them.
    dip****
    bull****
    ****sucker
    ****lover
    ...

    The list goes on and on, and it's impossible to capture them all.
    So it'll pobably come down to white listing the couple of legit words which have one of those banned words in them.

    Not a fan of the filter at all; Not that I curse, I just like to know that I could if I wanted.

    That's what is for. Or you can be creative and do something like *&$%!
    If you really want to use profane language, well, that's not allowed on this site.

    Never said I would, but the people that want to curse will just use the . method used above or use a 1 instead of an i or an l like my spam emailers do to me.

    I've liked the fact that I'm trusted not to curse, if I did I'd expect to be asked to change it or have it changed for me; If I persisted I'd expect to be banned, it's in the TOS. A filter however changes that, as shown above it'll modify words that shouldn't be. Possibly resulting in someone thinking I'm saying something I'm not, I don't like that.

    Granted no solution is perfect, I'm just stating the fact that I don't prefer this one.
