We've been seeing a growing number of folks doing the self-censor thing.

This is a reminder that self-censoring (ie typing @$$ instead of ***) is a violation of our policies.

It's not our intent to crack down on folks who most likely mean well and aren't trying to get around our rules, but by doing this, it creates more paperwork on our end.

Please, just type the word out.
If it's on our list, it will be filtered.
If it's not, then it's most likely alright to use here.

Thank you,
The MT Staff
 
What about just using *** **** if you think its a bad word? Is that OK?

Looks like the filter worked just fine.

No, refer to the policies, even using the **** (stars) is still censoring. We have the filter in place to catch words that are inapropriate for this board. If your concerned with it not being filtered maybe you could choose an alternate word. :)

So basically what you're saying is go ahead and type whatever the **** we want to say and let the filters do their ****ing jobs.... Hmm sounds simple enough, but I self-censor by way of choosing alternate words. A sign I saw in an AA meeting hall read (and I think it can apply to us martial arrtists) : "Profanity is not a sign of spiritual growth!" :D

I had to have my spiritual growth removed by my doctor, due to malignancy. ;)

"Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate mother****er."

Is that a threat? or a promise?
