I agree. There is a reason we in China do things like La Sa, T!bet, the Dally Lima, and the Jazmeen Rev, and it isn't because we in China are crappy spellers or fat-fingered. If you are outside China, understand that when you use the actual sensitive words (yes in English) on a forum like this, the filters can pick them up and block the page to viewers inside China. It's bad enough we have to put up with website after website auto-linking to F@cebook and Tw it ter which pretty much kills page loading, but to be blocked from places where we could actually have something useful to say is most uncool. Sometimes a VPN can be used, but a VPN also slows things down pretty seriously in an of itself....and not everybody has a working VPN 100% of the time.
I want to make sure those of you outside China who may not be familiar with our Net Nannies, understand the situation. Good. Carry on, and let's be smart about this sort of thing.
