You can write bollocks though

Hi,
 
I certainly can.

 

 
Copious amounts of.

 
 
At last....
 
A topic on which I am considered something of an expert.
 
 

 
 

I'm almost a stage 5 myself, but I do fancy a nice cup of tea right now.

Filtering s u s p i c i o u s because of letters contained with it is just incredibly sloppy design. You can understand them scanning strings for bad words within because people may try to bypass the filter by putting extra letters before and after the word, but surely they could make an exception in cases where the complete string is a real word. Dammit if we were talking about sumo wrestling, I couldn't even say maku****a or a****ori without being censored. How inconvenient is that? 

More relevant, a string player could not talk about issues in recording spiccato technique.  Nor could a prog fan discuss Lark's Tongue in Aspic without being censored. Or how to add a little bit of spice to a track.
 
The forum would censor you if you were to do something like give support to a fellow member who was in hospice.  I find that despicable.
 
In short, it should be perspicuous that the software filter could use a bit of adjustment.

I'm certain they could make the exception if they took the time and had the desire.  forums always have a place where you can list forbidden words.  this one likely was a default word put in by APG and it's likely that the admins have never edited the word list, or if they have they didn't delete this default word.   I know there are much more inappropriate words which can be typed without censoring which are not in the database but probably should be.

*****, **** and *********************** I would say!
