Unnecessary Censorship...
All of a sudden the site started censoring the word "**". Since that's going to be bleeped. I'll spell it so the server doesn't hear me, "Bee Why". You know, the homophone for "buy"!

I tried to censor a complete phrase which obviously didn't work and ended up censorship every instance of "by".
It's fixed now, please do let me know if you come across any further issues. |

Super,
the system started censoring anytime the letters 'by' were used in conjunction. |

I think this whole censorship thing is ridiculous. If there is an abusive person who is obviously abusive to everyone, or there is a flamer, or just plain mean person, then TS can decide to take care of it, or warn the person. There are also others that have absolutely no sense of humor and/or have a thin skin.

I think you are reading beyond my words, the forum feature is called censorship so that's what I'm calling it, but the purpose of the settings I was working on was to prevent spam keywords.
