Hi Duncan,
I know what you mean about "removing" a swear word that wasn't even there. I did the same thing once and was basically told to stop trying to bypass the profanity filter, however, there was no profanity listed just a bunch of cartoon like jumbled syntax such as $#$%*!.
Made me feel like some sort of criminal when all I was trying to do was imply frustration rather than actually swearing. There was no other letters showing, so it wasnt like I replaced an I with a 1 or anything.
Seemed a bit over the top then, too.
I would assume that if I actually wrote a naughty word like one starting with a nasty letter, then the inbuilt profanity filter would wipe it out anyway, so it seems like a tautology to remove symbols that aren't actually spelling anything under the pretense of "you swore there, don't do it again!"
Is it a case of: Implying a swear word is actually the same as swearing?
Oh well, you live and learn I suppose.
I do empathise on both your weather frustration as well as the censorship frustration.
Cheers
Chris
