I wanted to see whether they'd let a genuine obscenity like n*** stay put and remove an albeit vulgar word for a perfectly natural part of every womans body.

I wonder how many poor Reaserchers stumble across this thread and wonder what the heck we're talking about and how wicked and bad we must be...

I wouldn't SBVM can be hard work. Worth lurking though.
BTW that *little* post is still there, as is my reposted e-mail from the mods.

No it will go. The search and starring out of offensive words is done automatically, the context that they are writen happens later when the whole message is read by the Mod.
Now you remember my two postings. Well in the self-censored one I spelt the word to end "ts". When I got my ticking off e-mail, in which the contents of the removed post are repeated, the ending was "*s". Which conforms to house rules that all offensive words are starred out with the exception of the first and last letters.
All I can say is, God help you if you happen to live in Scunthorpe

How come you've got pre-BBC memories? Have you been here before and lost your cookies? And if so what were you called before?

I was here in pre-BBC days just a few short months after it started, but I gave it up as a bad job and came back later - after forgetting my username, ID, password and everything else that went along with it
