Help Censoring

The below words are made for the purposes of the topic, not to insult anyone. Anyways, I'm thinking that this censor isn't smart. For example:

bastard, bastard, etc. compared to *******

Anyway to fix this?

 

Compared to what?

Also, ******* can be used as an insult, which is why it is censored.

 

They're set to autochange into stars. We had a word replacement filter after the move to XenForo (as per request), but a majority of people were not a fan of it, so we went back to the stars.

 

I think he may be talking about censor bypasses and how just adding tags or something around a letter or section of letters and you are able to bypass the censor all together.

 

Yes, I mean this.

 

Yes, the censors can be bypassed. We actually allow that---to an extent. If we see copious amounts of censor by-passing, specially in areas that are not the Spam Zone, we can use punitiive actions on a member.

That isn't to say that the censor can not be improved, if that's what you're suggesting.

 

OK, so as long as it's not offensive, we can use it in the Fun and Games section? 'Kay.

 

As long as it's not excessive or offensive.
