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.

It was netnanny! I had logged in but should have deactivated it. So hang on, could you all see my swearing then? Was it just appearing as hashes for me? It's made me laugh though people saying I must have used my quota and now be banned from swearing, ha ha ha

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?
