Smart watch. Smar****ch. Smart watch.

This seems like a clbuttic mistake.

It even "fixes" URLs for you...

Could the word filter be .. adjusted a bit? I think we're all adults around here.

What is a **** either way? (yes I actually had to look it up. No need to explain, thanks).

+1. the filter is just silly. BTW, it also filters some random number counts, just because it looks like obsolete's nokia's dev Id number, that wasn't meant to be shared (by some authoritative rule, not any real legal reason).

It seems like legacy of forum being managed by Reggie, who tried to be more holy than pope. As far as I'm concerned, swear filter can go away, completely - abusive language is a subject for moderators, not to mention that anyone can bypass the filter by methods presented above. Instead of trying to fix thing broken by design, let's just ditch it.

OTOH, if it hadnt been for this absurd filter, I'd still don't know what a t-w-a-t is or that the word even existed. It's an nice way to learn a language.

Basically, I'd say the filter isn't transparent enough. They need to open source the blacklist. Be brutally honest about it.

We can reverse engineeer the list, I will try throwing Carlin at it.

Code:
****, piss, ****, ****, cocksucker, mother****er, and tits
(edit)Niiiiice, misses 3/7 of the famous George Carlin banned words list, but always ****s up smar****ch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_dirty_words
Interestingly the words are even redacted to asterisks when you go back to edit it.

Coderus, **** is a crude synonym to ****, both referring to a bit of female anatomy.
