s_t_N_a_b. Removed _ and N. This is a banned word?

In another post I tried to write, "I did not understand the method enough to take a s___ at it myself."

One of the definitions of that banned word is "An attempt; effort" I just found that a strange word to ban.

Confused cowdog.

Yes it was banned because some idiots kept responding with '.... him' or '.... it' or something stupid like that to just about every post in OT. Does it make sense, no, but oh well ;)

Apparently not. I guess I'll just have to take a st_b at not using st_b.

Alternately, you could be more creative, like this: "I'm going to take a poke with a sharp pointed object at getting my Athlon XP 1700+ to run at speeds of more than 2GHz." :p

Isn't this an example of trying to get around the filter rules?

It was my impression that getting around the filter rules consisted of....um....nevermind. I'm not going to say it, or do it, because I would rather not be banned. ;)

Anyway, then why don't we see people getting banned for s*** (replacing i with !) or f*** (replacing u with s or v)?

I see what you're saying. I also know of what you're are saying. ;)

Heh, not really. What I originally posted however, *was* an example of how to get around it, but the mods did not appreciate it, and edited my message :p
