The ironic thing is that the ad at the top of the page when I opened this thread was for the band ''F**k the Facts''.LOL

The forums here are a social site. I like to think that especially we (prog lovers) can converse without swearing, and I say this as one who has a sailor's tongue. There will be complaints when some stuff is unnecessarily censored, e.g. did you hear that f**king Zappa solo! There will be other times when it's probably just as well that stuff is not allowed, e.g., <member_name_here> you are a f**kwad for having that opinion, and may you suffocate in sh*t. I prefer the more kindly approach.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

The admins control the filter - if we want a certain 4 letter work beginning with 'F' to be automatically replaced with 'Phil Collins Is A Poo-Head', we could action it...



Hmmmm....

And today's four letter word beginning with 'F' is brought to you by:
 
... and I guess there are those that would have preferred  'Phil Collins Is A Poo-Head' to the replacement they actually got.
 
 
What?

I swear that I never swear, so I don’t care if the filter is there.

We'll be watching for new developments like that. Tongue

That's interesting though.  You could then set it to make asterisks replace whole words instead of leaving behind enough of a remnant that we pretty much know what was being written.
