I was posting something and I went to type the word dam but with a "N" and it spelled darn. Does this always happen when you use a suggestive metephor?

The powers that be have a word filter in place. We have to keep the bible thumpers happy.

Certain words generally considered to be "profanity" are blocked and substituted. I and other staff members will edit out others that pass the filter if we see them. Our request (and the easiest way to keep ACNA a nice place to be) is for members to appropriately censor themselves and don't post profanity in the first place. This place would become just like every other flame-throwing forum out there, if we didn't impose some conduct rules.

So f**k would become ****, and s**t would become ****. Mother ****er would become mother ****er. I am just testing this because I have never seen it in place on any other forum. I rarely have used anything other then hell but I gotta say that it is nice to have that filter. A couple of the other forums I belong to DON'T have this and some posts are filled with endless colorful metephors.

I am strongly against all forms of censorship.

Well, none of the ACNA policies say you have to like it, just that you have to do it. So everything should be just fine that way. Thanks! Just because I play by the rules doesn't mean I like it.
