What??? Why Censor That?

[HumanJHawkins]

This is more about forum development, but might also apply to the bio censoring part of game development...

I was writing a post where I mentioned bird p o o p... When I went back to read it, it looked like this:

"...airborn so as to **** on your enemy's head"

1) Why on earth would you be censoring the most unoffensive word available for this fact of life?

2) Turning the word p o o p into asterisks makes it look like I am swearing, and makes the passage more crude than before you messed with it. Sheesh! (Woops... is that going to turn into "*****!")

I dont know doing that to someones head sounds pretty crude no matter what asterisks or no asterisks.

The *'s actually make it more vulgar when I fill in the blanks.

What I was trying to say is that the asterisks implied that I typed a word that begins with "s" rather than one that begins with "p"

No matter how its spelled, its just as squishy

Dont matter both equaly crude to me but hey its your bio

Did someone actually make a post complaining they couldn't post po op?

Deficate would be the least offensive word, not the one you used.
