Please do something about the automatic censor.

Post by Thanatos »

The censor is quite absurd. It changed a shortened form of the male chicken which can also be a coarse term for a male reproductive and excretory organ (even whose unobscene biological name, I discovered in previewing this message, is censored) to "thingy", causing, for instance, "c0ckroach" (unless 0 is substituted for o, as here) to "thingyroach". Words that have non-obscene meanings (which are, frankly, far more common and more likely to be used than the obscene) shouldn't be censored. Similarly, an affectionate prefix to "cat" (or the first name of the third Bond girl) becomes "pussy" (?!). This madness must be stopped.

you know, i could edit the post and make everyone else look silly.

or i could pretend i was trying to trick you and make everyone else look silly for falling for my trick.

or i could sort of go red-faced and admit i was caught red-handed.

so... it was a trick. all a trick. and you fell for it :p

I have edited the automatic censor thing and hopefully you'll find that the problems have been resolved with the words in question. ;D
