Why are "Elite" members allowed to "by-pass" the language filter?

They're not allowed, a mod just hasn't looked at that thread and warned him yet.

Not betting on 2 but 1 and 3 are correct.

cussing should be alowed at night. liek adult swim on cartoon network... all the little children are off to bed and the gorwn ups can talk. :p

besides, by the time the kids get on in the morning, 99% of OT threads are either deleted or covered by many pages of other random posts

yllus, I know that reitz is a long-standing member of AT, I've been here longer than you [No "seniority type-crap" meant]; but if you quote his/her post, you have to edit out words that I cannot post because of the language filter :confused:

No one would know as we don't speak Klingon.

I got the title after I had sex with your mother. She's not an easy broad to bang, so they thought I deserved some recognition after I did the deed.

Happens to me too, I just blame it on the crappiest word filter I've ever come across, but you can rule out your Elite theory.
Happened just the other day in fact, tried to quote a member with something like 100 posts and I had forbidden words in my message.

Seems like the word filter is on a day-by-day basis to me by the way.
Some days I can type words like $hit without the $, even tried fvck and a few others just to test it, most went through without a hitch, other days I can hardly post anything because it seems like 10% of the words in Websters are censored :confused:
