	Consequenses of censoring Tired of ads?

In a thread in the civ3 forum (link) there was a discussion on what a certain civ should be named. One of the suggestions were "Ku****es" (K-u-s-h-i-t-e-s). Well, this word got bleeped out, because it has the letters s-h-i-t. It's just SO ridiculous. And is sh1t really that bad a word anyway, is it?
Why not just stop the censoring, so decent people can write Ku****es if they want to?

Can anything be done?

Is it actually possible to set the software to not censor 'offencive' words when they appear embedded in inoffencive words?

Case - probably not.

Censorship bad but what can you do when so many of the posters are in their teens..... Poor Ajli can't even access ACOL at school if the top page contains a swearword.

Self confessed technological idiots shouldn't comment on things they know not of.

On a lighter note, Thank you MarkG for this change.

Well, I see it didn't take long to totally abuse the rule change.

What's with all the tests?

You knew it would work.

They obviusly have never thought of using the preview reply button, and hope that spam can be justified by calling it a "test"

And what about everyone that doesn't post tests?
I've tested with the preview, I admit that but not by posting in it. I wonder how it works.

The only time I can remember that I've posted test pots after receiving new info was when mark informed me about the style specific colors. (As I had to change style after I had posted it to see if it worked.) I've also first test-posted some HTML-code in preview adding a comment on the result and posting it, as I want other to take part of my test. Also sometimes I've miss-clicked and hit the submit instead of the preview, but then I was going to make a big post containing HTML and have edited the post after and fixed what I was up to make with the preview.

I think that there are more posters that tests with the preview then tests with a post.

I was publicising the results of my test so that others wouldnt have to go through the long process. Really

Oh good. I can now type both "Shite" and "Bullshit" (the only connotations I actually use Sh!t in) without penalty.
