I mean, it's pretty comical that it's showing up as **** Cheney - even moreso because it looks like you're typing Fvck Cheney.

Would you Finbar? I play for the other team.


I agree Stefu, but I've been griping about the auto censor for awhile now. I thought that was why we had Mods? Instead people avoid being censored by a variety of tactics (when the want to be profane) and names like the VP candidate are edited out as offensive.

You can still call someone a ****er though. Go figure.

maybe the sensor can be changed in such a way that it will filter out the word if it's all small letters, but will not apply the filter if the D is capitalized?

I think the forums should not be a place to promote any political figures from any countries. Just my two cents.

It's in the OTF...off-topic

Why would ****** Leibermann need to be removed from the censorship list? It isn't currently on there, as far as I know!

Just write the word "Dick" in smileys to get over the auto-censor ... but really, any veteran OTer should know how to write Dick Cheney. This case reminds me of connorkimbro's joke about French...
