Silly censorship settings on the forum
Permalink Closed

Hi Aseem,


The software is acting like an overcautious nanny and censoring even unintentional spellings of obscene words. e.g. we all know that the word "c.ock" from "c.ockpit" gets auto-censored. Similarly, today someone had posted a URL and the word "t.wat" from "market.watch" got censored. I think this is really annoying as no-one here is writing those words with a different meaning and the "smart" software is really not smart enough to figure out the difference....


Can we turn off the auto-censor settings as I think everyone here is mature enough not to use such language on the forum. Of course, if anyone is found using such language, the moderators can ban him from posting or place him under moderation.


What do you think?

really strange!!  Among the options there is something called "Profanity Filter", but I have not subscribed to it as it is a part of paid bundle.


Can you point to the specific post where it applied to? I can direct the attention of TecSupport towards it?


thanks

with the upgradation of service, I have access to the Profanify filter.  So, please let me know whenever you find that filter is working where it should not have been.  I'll then set it accordingly
