Hi,

I’m interesting to see a list of blocked words. I tried to find infos about it, but my search wasn’t successful. I think it would be good to know what kind of words are not allowed, so that I can write in a way so that I don’t have to edit and rephrase my posts after writing them.

Thanks in advance!

    yet it’s difficult to circumvent for legit users

    It is easy for everyone who knows how to throw of the slur filter.

    k-i-k-epa

    Huh… what’s wrong with that word? I have no idea that this is slur anywhere. It just seems to be a kind of clothing.

    At least now they simply do a substitution. They used to block the ability to submit the article and you’d have to throw away your work.

    That was way better. That way, the users were made aware that there is a problem, and it would be even better when the server replies by stating which words exactly were the offending ones. No harm to anyone by that, and you can just start to rephrase what you were saying, instead of not even realizing what happened.

      Look at the first four letters. (I agree that this should be considered a bug in the filter)

        Oh boy… I never heard about that one. This filter can drive you insane… you never know why it does what it does. It really should tell you what the offending part is.
