Just exactly what kind of ******* do you have to be to get censored?

[femurphy77]

In this conversation https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/online-friends.545362/#post-9805790 my use of the word ******* was censored while someone else's use of the word ******* wasn't.

So apparently I've reached a level of ******* nirvana that the other user hasn't?

I'm guessing if you describe one, it's censored, but if you describe two or more, it's not.

Edit - My test below proves my hypothesis. My work here is done.

Yep. The forum censoring software only censors exact matches, not wildcard matches. So by adding another letter to the offending word (e.g. "s") it sneaks by the filter. You probably still shouldn't use it though...

I remember people getting banned for listening to a certain mod who kept saying "just use the filters" and stuff kept getting by thus a ban.

The people referred to are no longer on INGO

Wasn’t there a time when it was an infraction for using characters in place of bad words? Like typing **** or #•@*.

I’m pretty sure I remember at least one of the former mods stating “don’t do it, because we know what you really mean”. I definitely remember the “just use the filter” command.

Lol, I got my first infraction for relying on the filter. I pointed out that the filter didn't stop the word, but the mods claimed what I said was mean.

I'm so glad the original staff is gone.

So, as a mod, I shouldn't use symbols when I feel the need to curse??

To answer the original question, a singular one.

Just let the filter do it's job.

This sounds like a bunch of ****ing ********.
If you say ********** then you are a bastard.
