Best for this to be placed in the Rules, Site Comments and Suggestions. Hopefully, a modification can be made to the word censor...

The new profanity filter is blocking out part of So's surname since 4 letters of his surname are in the same sequence as a 4 letter word.
Is that what you were asking?
His last name is:
Y-A-M-A_S*H'I,T-A
Did I get past the filter on that one?

It's not the word censor we are worried about, it's the word Yama****a. 
Mark, it appears we have a new expletive censoring mechanism on the forum that searches for any of the well-known curse words and asterisks them out.
So's full name is So Y-a-m-a- s-h-i-t-a.
It's also rather annoying because I am still quite desperate to start a badminton thread in the off topic area, but it will lose all impact if "shuttle****" is censored.
And that's not even mentioning my intro to basic plumbing thread: opening and closing valves aka how to adjust your ****.
James.

I'd like to be able to read Yama****a's name properly. I hope he gets exempted from the profanity filter. And I hope I spelled his name right... hard to know since I didn't know the correct spelling to begin with. (I hope I chose the correct 4-letter word)

Seems the filter is a bit flawed!

I agree! I bought a beautiful Nakayama at a very reasonable price of him so let him please be allowed to contribute.

Is he being barred from creating a user name and joining, or is any display of his name simply being censored? Either way, I agree, if it can be fixed, please do so.

Sojourn.
As a firm opponent to any kind of censorship, I must add my name to this thread.

We are looking at this issue. Not only So's name was affected, but there was somebody mentioning pea**** feather as well
Yes, the word censor has been enabled a coupld of days ago. There are just a couple of words being filtered, and I am checking to see if we can maintain a whitelist of words that are left alone.

O-kaaaay, I think it's about time this goody-two-shoes piece of silicon called a word censor learned a little something about context... Not just that, but I am also opposed to censorship. As responsible adults, we can self-regulate what we type on the board without the need for electronic nannies.
(Just imagine if I had misspelled context with a "u" instead; it'd be blocked out!  )

And to this end I propose we remove every third word from every post.
