[Disapproved] Auto censor

[Captncrunch]

Not meaning to offend anyone, but, as S-U-C-K-E-D is not a swear word, can it be removed from the autocensor?

Tried to say that I've been "S-U-C-K-E-D into the game", but got censored out. (What do people do with straws?) It is the other words that can be used in combination with S-U-C-K that are swears.

As a father of young kids myself, I do appreciate the existence of the autocensor to keep this a "G"-rated environment.

PS: Delibrately typing as S-U-C-K to get around the autocensor for this conversation. Again, not meaning to offend.

This is how it works. You put a base word and all words that contain it are censored. So sucked might be an okay word but Sucker/sucks/etc are not.
I would suggest in return that instead of creating a paragraph length post to suggest it removed, to just use another word with the same meaning.

In a forum where no swearing words can be found, even the light ones may seem harsh. So we must avoid them altogether.In the particular case, it is not a big deal to call someone a sucker or say that this sucks, etc. So the best practice, instead of giving out useless warnings and agitating people for this kind of violation, we create an autocensor.

Now, if a player feels that it is right to skip the auto-censor, then he will deserve his warning.

No prob. It was no big deal really. Just thought it was an odd word so censor (and also the first time I found out the autocensor even existed!)
