	The autocensor - out of control Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I was noticing that someone was posting to an off-topic thread about obesity and a problem occured, he tried to enter the word weight<x>watcher...if you type it in normally however, it will be censored: weigh****cher, because it has the combination of letter t,w,a and t in it. The same would apply for words such as ho****er, nigh****chman, wris****ch. And I presume the Lincolnshire town of Scunthorpe would fall into the same trap for possessing the letters c, u, n and t in that order. Surely it can be made so that this feature will only censor whole words, not combinations of letters within words, as some of these combinations are very common in normal words...

Hey, why doesn't this happen to Scunthorpe?

Another interesting example is **** Cheney, where you would be quite fine to call him Penis Cheney instead

Haha! Nice one PH!

Before:
The vice president of USA is Mr **** Cheney.
**** Cheney was the vice president candidate of
G.W.B in the year 2000 election campaign.

After:
The vice president of USA is Mr Penis Cheney.
Penis Cheney was the vice president candidate of G.W.B in
the year 2000 election campaign.



An then a small joke...
Hey ****, how large is your ****?

Yeah, sure. Very funny.

There was a thread about this awhile ago where I got mugged by Mark.

Small, more like nonexistent *tut* Stop acting like a scunthorpe

I mean this in a serious manner though, these new censored words don't seem to work the same as the previous ones. They should all be the same, in that they don't count in the middle of other words...
