Well personally I think you are being hypersensetive, but that it your opinion and you are entitled to it.

However, I have noticed in the past that the autocensor function of the board is very inconsistent in what it does and does not allow. For instance d**n (which is a very mild term IMO) is blocked, while Catman's example above, c**p and to***r [my asterisks] are not. I am sure many other words fall in to similar categories, but I am not going to try them all!

Therefore Webflyer, I suggest you do the following: Make the autocensor work properly and make it reasonable in what it does and does not block. In doing this, stop it being so Americo-centric, because it lets through plenty of English words that are vastly more offensive than d**n in many other parts of the world.
