I knew that when you posted this thread that it was a joke but one question:

Why would ANYONE want to censor ass? IMO It's too important a word.It comes up in daily converstation unlike S*** and F*** plus it's not actually considered a "swear word" but that's JMO.

That's an interesting point; and true as well.

I visit one board where the censor filter is so strict that we can't even type the name Dick Clark. You see... "dick" is censored out. So we get #### Clark. Uh... that's a bit too strict.

:lol: :crazy:

Well, I really wished I had stopped by this post. I'm over at the General board and I see all these *'s instead of a's and I thought I had entered the Twilight Zone or something. I assumed that maybe one person had a problem with their 'a' key and then I see others doing the same thing. It's weird in a way.

You almost had me believing that for a second. I'm glad it's not true.

Oh yeah, I think the other Batman board I go to censors 'dick'. That's insane since one of the characters is named Dick Grayson.

I almost believed that for a second...then I realized I'd just been to other SO boards where A's had been posted. Glad the problem's fixed.

OK, it's really not...my siggy still has the dang asterisks. Arrrgh.

I though maybe you had decided that ony The Fonz would be able to use the letter "Aaaa" from here on out. I liked the board with the 'a' missing, it was challenging.

Just so you know any thread titles or posts made while this censoring was going on won't be updated, but you can edit them yourself. The a's were replaced with *'s and written to the posts, and not inserted on the fly when loading a page.

I was thinking, if both "dick" and "dyke" were censored some boards might get: #### van ####. That would be tough on a DVD board. ;) :crazy:
