    Two words. D*ck and c*ck. I'm not saying they couldn't be used in a derogatory fashion, that's what the moderators are for. But there are several words that have these letters in them and it's annoying that they are always blocked. Examples include:

    Dick (as a name), cocky, cockatoo, cock-fighting, cocktail, cockroach...

    You see what I mean?

      Totaly agree with you Split. It's really quite stupid to block out those words. I tries saying **** a few days ago, and I couldn't! I guess that's why you decided to make this topic...

          My internet blocks out rated in ove , hate, death, nasty, and many more that I can't think of. And I can't find the setting to change it...

          But anyway, I'm sure a smart person like you could figure out a way to censor bypass...

            The inconvenience is unnecessary and can be completely eradicated with a few clicks in the Admin CP.

              I think the members on here are mature enough to not run around making offensive posts with these words in. If it's as easy to change as Split says, then it could be changed and changed back if people can't handle the excitement.
              (Wow. I agree with Split about something? I sense a disturbance in the force.)

                I think this is just a suggestion for the sake of suggesting. Let's face it, how often are we going to use those words for serious purposes?

                I've always lived with the word filters and I see no reason for them to change now.

                  That's what the suggestions forum is here for. I'm just trying to make this place better.

                          If it helps, you could just bypass the swear filter when the time comes you want to use the word in proper context!
