I Used The Word, "***", In A Post The Other Evening And It Was Censored.

[sandyRoe]

Why?

[Clone]

*** knows

[sandyRoe]

Imagine the word, fuzzy, with the initial letter replaced by an M.

Can it have a meaning that I don't know?

[newmodarmy]

Well it was slang for marijuana 100 years ago; but more likely because it's a derogatory term form a Muslim

[Clone]

***

[Buenchico]

It's used, perjoratively, to refer to an adherent of the Islamic faith.

We have some great mods on here that know everything.

If you can't type out ***, there must be a good reason.

 

[Clone]

Ah, they are not as on-the-ball as I gave credit for.

[pastafreak]

TIL(today I learned).

[newmodarmy]

It's nothing to do with Mods, I'm sure. I don't think they can amend posts- they can only delete them. 

[Arksided]

I think most of the Mods on here do a great job, but not a word I use casually or at all really no idea that it were derogatory, when used I thought it meant muzzle for a dog etc...

[sandyRoe]

Nothing wrong with Fenian but surely the three letter word beginning with Y has no place in polite colloquay.

I feel I must report it.

The filter is set up by the ABEds.  The mods can't star words out, nor edit posts, nor add/remove words to the filter. 

[davebro3]

In what sense were you using the word? It's not that common.

[Old_Geezer]

Eds have been known to edit the censorship list if it can be shown there are legitimate uses of the word. Why not ask it it can be sorted. Say you have a *** head from last night's drinking session.

[davebro3]

OG - that's the only way I've heard it used.

[sandyRoe]

I was using m uzzy in the sense I had a thick head as a consequence of flu, was feeling more stupid than  usual.
