Heh, this is weird. I saw in a Spanish Mac board that you can't talk about computers.. = the word computer [in Spanish] gets censored.



And I thought only Windows were com****doras!!!









Are there any other funny words [in any language] that get sometimes censored weirdly?

    Yes but everybody knows how to write that without being censored. So..?



    Weird, in some italian boards the people censor themselves volenteerly. So there is no censoring but i keep seeing continuously ca*** and ca***ta and inca***to etc

    All I can say about censoring is that I put up some nasty words in Fireside Chat that didn't get censored.



    And I'm not sorry.

    Obviously, if one considers a word offensive, (s)he wants to censor it. I suggest we build a list of offensive words and ask moderators to set up automatic censoring. Here are my suggestions:

    1. ****

    2. *****

    3. **** (not as in 1.)
