Weird Censorship

bornablade

Just playing the orfordable and having a chat. Tried typing in 'nought' and it gets starred out! We were just wondering what words get censoredfor no obvious reason. Think everyone has got one they've been surprised to get starred out, 'forest' is another

All posts welcome

Tranmere used to be a problem word when posting on the forum.

Forest struck me as very odd.
Fix seems unnecessary.
Jacks - why?

When playing a tourney and reaching the break, I used to enjoy a brisk **** to make the 5 minutes pass quickly. Cant even tell folk about that anymore. :0(

As someone who is known as Forest by a lot of players, I have never been able to get an answer as to why its censored.

forest is no longer censored in the forum - thus why you have been able to post it.

MrWh1te

i mean at the tables, u cant post it i just checked

Sky_Rich

ah right.

when building the profanity filters on the forum we had to use a standard Sky template used for all forums associated with Sky. i didn't work on the table filter but i know for a fact the forum filter contained some unusual words that possibly should have been allowed and i'm guessing this could apply to the tables too.

Gradually as points have been raised i've been removing inappropriate words from the forum profanity filter (like forest). I'll certainly have a word with the guys who control the tables and let them know this.

all the best to you
