Your automatic "racist word filter" is a bit trigger happy

[SoupDragon]

Apparently It isn't acceptable to use a word for laughing that begins with S and has the N word in it.

Just to add (and I thought I'd said it on here already) I do agree that it is a good idea. I'm not complaining that the filter exists at all.

Ah yes, I was on a forum that would show Scunthorpe as S***horpe

Hi all,

Ah yes - our bad word filter! As you can see, it isn't perfect yet, but it's something that we revisit often.

In time, s**horpe will be nothing but a memory (not that we'd ever asterisk a sweary word!)

When can we expect to be able to s again though?

Snigger

Ooooh -
I think we can do it now.

Hurrah!

I think that is the only word that would have triggered it.

Do you plan to include other racist words?

Oh, this explains why a post of mine was auto-hidden the other day. I thought it was a glitch.
