Hey mnhq, do you have a new policy on swearing?
I typed the word s h i t e to Prufrock on my 10yy thread and it displayed as #####

I then tried to type some random swear words and
arse toss and wank were accepted but fk, sh*t and the one above displayed as ####

Enlighten me please, ta v much.

We are seeing your swearing as hashes www. If it is your dh then he obviously knows you well to remember to censor shite as well as shit. I know toss works, what about Tosser McToss?
