Can I suggest that the censoring of swear words is reintrodueced as soon as possibel?

It is fecking broken Mrs Ed (wasn't me).

Yes, the swearbots have gone on their hols, and while the cats away the mice will play here . Lucky it wasnt a Friday evening or this site would be really ****** up by Monday. Maybe the monks can do something about it before then - two hours of meditation followed by four hours of Gregorian chant might be enough to summon the bots back.

Sorry dot, I should have acknowledged your post. I came to this section to alert the ED but you beat me to it. I think you have put it very succinctly without going OTT. We will just have to be self-censoring for the time being and use the ******* blue pencil ourselves - at least, while we are still able to use blue.

Can someone suggest an algorithm that will allow though "Scunthorpe" but reject "YouareacuntBertie" ?

It's an interesting challenge.

should just be possible to tweak the system to allow specific words like wristwatch through

[dot.hawkes]

jno tonight we could type any swear word and it will get thru, someone has pressed the wrong button.

OMG - that is SO rude.

I'm not swearing.

I'm tempted.

But i'm a good, clean girl.

[gessoo]

Can I just add a very polite little swear word, please?

[gessoo]

poppycock

[MUMPING]

whiffey and W~M cut the swearing okay? I have reported both posts.

[jno]

MUMPING what are you doing here? Did the justification get to you?

[THECORBYLOON]

I reported the postings under both ma names to speed up their demise and I thought I'd let them know the second time. There's no need for the swearing and I hope ABE takes appropriate action against them. This time I'M justified....

TCL... why do you have 2 user names?

[B00]

Ooooo TLC- I never knew you had another username, how long have you had that one? Do you post in it? Where? I've never seen it before!

I tell ye- i'm more agog over that than I am over the swearing- lol.

[dot.hawkes]

Oh I missed the swearing it was gone before I looked back here, WM I am gonna stomp on you with my boots!

[THECORBYLOON]

A while ago I was one of a fair few who were "cloned" and I couldn't post for a while. The posts were offensive, so to make it clear it was not me, I had to register under another name "MUMPING" and I have never hidden this fact.

I have used this a couple of times recently to report offensive postings but only to ensure they are removed quickly.

[dot.hawkes]

I knew he was mumping it hasn't just appeared , I swore too TCL, sorry, but only mild inoffensive little swear words :)
