Can you fix the word filter please?

S****** is a legitimate word.

You would need to spell it out. For obvious reasons I have no clue what word you're trying to use. (And if it's the N word, then no, because we've had problems with racism)

I appreciate that there's some immature idiots but censoring words that are in no way racist, insulting or even derogatory at all seems wierd.

Word was s*n*i*g*g*e*r. It has nothing to do with race in any way.

But the N word does. And thanks to substrings, there's no way to censor it without also censoring anything including it.

Which really, is fine. Because the racists were at one point using snig as a codeword anyhow.

Though I do get your point. It's a bit annoying. There's a reason the censor list is almost never used for anything except URLs. It goes without saying that these are exceptional circumstances.

Your link is broken for some reason. :whiste:

None of those synonyms are really the same as s******.
Giggle is for immature teenage girls being smutty.
S****** is for immature middle aged men being smutty.

But the N word does. And thanks to substrings, there's no way to censor it without also censoring anything including it.

Fair enough, it's only a small annoyance anyway. I do really like the word though. Nothing else quite fits when you're reacting to a good bit of innuendo.

This is why I can't have nice things.
