Has someone been tightening it up? I'm sure I used "*******" recently without falling foul of the filter. Not tonight, though. I've been well and truly asterisked. Edit ******* = illegitimate person
It's definitely been tightened up recently. I used to somehow never set it off as I obviously use obscure obscenities but I've been starred quite a few times recently, for really tame things too. It's so sensitive now it makes posts look really sweary when they actually aren't. For example, I often use the word féck which even the advertising standards authority says is not a swear word and can be used pre-watershed but now when I post it it's starred out, and, as it is 4 letters long like a similar word, it makes it look like I have been f-bombing everywhere.
I like to ****. I'd love a campaign to get more of it. I've been feckless for too long. I was once called a "feckless gimp".
I guess this is technically swearing but you definitely used to be able to type the word for poo with an e on the end.
I can assure you (and @JamDrop) it hasn’t been overly tightened recently. The OP has been in the swear filter for literally years, so it’s just a combination of typing words for the first time in ages or assuming one word you read is meant to be something else. Scout’s honour from what I can see.
I’ve asked several people if they would describe me as feckless and they all said no. If I’m not feckless I must have ****. What is it?
