Funny how candidate's names are censored but other words like "sex" or "$uck" arn't.

The autocensor doesn't do a thing to stop those who want to use words like "di<e>ck". It just makes life difficult for those who are not trying to swear, and who don't realize that the words they are typing in will be censored (i.e. those talking about **** (or is that Di<e>ck) Cheney).

The autocensor is exremely easy to get around -- it works by simply doing a case-insensitive search through the post for words on the list of banned words. If a word appears nowhere in the post, the autocensor finds nothing to complain about. For example: Di<font></font>ck Cheney. If you look carefully, you will realize that the word Di<font></font>ck never appears in this post.

This candidate's name just happens to be a word that is censored, not the other way around.

Wezil:
Your implication that we are using the autocensor because we are "lazy" in acting as moderators is insulting and unfounded.
Like any administrator we have tools which help to make our position more manageable -- in other words, more efficient, and the autocensor allows us to do that. In turn, those benefits are passed along to our visitors.
