In case Bush becomes the prez...
...will Apolyton finally uncensor the name 'Dck'? I still hold that having to write **** Cheney always looks like you meant to say Fuck Cheney.

Funny how candidate's names are censored but other words like "sex" or "$uck" arn't."I agree with everything i've heard you recently say-I hereby applaud Christantine The Great's rapid succession of good calls."-isaac brock

i have notice that some times **** is not censored or is that only in peoples sigs or when they edit their posts?Comment

The autocensor doesn't do a thing to stop those who want to use words like "di<e>ck". It just makes life difficult for those who are not trying to swear, and who don't realize that the words they are typing in will be censored (i.e. those talking about **** (or is that Di<e>ck) Cheney).One year at Apolyton with the same username and location!Comment

The autocensor is exremely easy to get around -- it works by simply doing a case-insensitive search through the post for words on the list of banned words. If a word appears nowhere in the post, the autocensor finds nothing to complain about. For example: Di<font></font>ck Cheney. If you look carefully, you will realize that the word Di<font></font>ck never appears in this post.

Lews, rather than using the < font > < / font > method, you can just insert a < e >

This candidate's name just happens to be a word that is censored, not the other way around.

You people have been naughty
There are ways to improve the autocensor to catch these things

The autocensor is a very literal-minded critter. Humans can always come up with a new method of getting around the censor. For example,
Dìck
Ðick
D¡ck
F<font face="symbol">m</font>ck
main(i,_){for(!_||(--i,main(i+2,i["FHhhTBFHdhTBFBQT\2TBF&]zRF$hh*:FHhh+&FBIsbDF"]));
i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_^=_,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Mark -*/Comment

Which once again begs the question: Why does ACS continue to use this autocensor? Is it so you can say you're 'concerned' about the issue? Seems to me someone acting in a rude and disrespectful way should be dealt with by the mods. It is one of the reasons you claim we need mods, no?

Wezil:
Your implication that we are using the autocensor because we are "lazy" in acting as moderators is insulting and unfounded.
Like any administrator we have tools which help to make our position more manageable -- in other words, more efficient, and the autocensor allows us to do that. In turn, those benefits are passed along to our visitors.

Sure, you could always use words such as "bleep" to replace the naughty ones
