Auto-Censor program does not like Star Alliance abbreviation
 
The short abbreviation for the Star Alliance logically would be the two letters "sierra" and "alfa". But, if you post these letters (S and A) together, on their own, the portion of your bullitan board program that filters out naughty words replaces the S with an asterisk, resulting in *A, which is kind of silly.

Can't you customize the profanity filter to overlook this, considering the nature of this bullitan board?

No, it doesn't. I just tested it. When you see *A, someone has typed *A. In the view of many, the most logical abbreviation of the word Star is a star.
