You could use creative spelling like the porn spammers.

Maybe the scripts could be tweaked so they come out as &$@#! instead, like in the comics. That would be ••••••• great. :-)

[No, on second thought my comment wasn't that funny, so I'm censoring myself.]

Yeah, that is funnier. :-)

I didn't see it on pseudodictionary.com either, but I did like this one:

quote:

fauxlympics - Any Olympic event that makes you wonder if it's a sport or not.

e.g., Curling is a sport? Oh, come on. What is this, the Fauxlympics?

oh good so I don't want to sound like a twat, or make a mistake and yell bollocks! And I'll look up my words in the dictionary in my fanny pack.

but if it my fault 'tough titties'

One wonders if higher-level terms (swear words so offensive that they aren't even commonplace) have also been censored. Otherwise someone needs a damned good felching.

> higher-level terms

Or really low level ones that the censors are too geeky to have ever heard. I once started putting together a Beavis & Butthead Lexicon - I'll try to dig it up... you buttwipe.

BTW, is there a way to fix this stealth editing business? Like the email version of Jared's post doesn't have the last sentence... No harm done in this case, of course, but it does mean that the public record can include things that people don't realize they haven't seen.

At a minumum, when an edit/delete is made a simple alert notice should be mailed out.

> any edits to a post would be duly noted for all to see, although not emailed out.

But the point is that if it's not mailed out, anybody on email delivery (and isn't that most people?) won't see the edit unless he goes to the thread. And he would only really do that if he's going to post something, and even then is unlikely to notice it.

But making the edited text look different would be a luxury.

--

Unless people can at least be made aware of an edit via email, I think editing should be disabled. But leave Deletion available, so the person can just replace the post wholesale, and everybody would see it.

Plus there's another way emailed posts suck: you can't see "embedded" links.

That and the censored stuff doesn't even come up as bullets or anything.

I have to agree with Yves on the editing point. I dont think I've ever posted to this site or my own without hastily editing my posts within minutes.

That's why I'm happy to have been playing music with Brits
for the past 15 years: all my cursing words come through!

All I have to do is check a checkbox and any edits to a post would be duly noted for all to see, although not emailed out. What does everyone else think?

This is what an editted post would look like (This sentence was added after posting)

Hey, if it works you won't hear us complain!

Ditto. Don't you change one bit, we love you just
the way you are! And I don't mind the censoring:
we're all supposed to be creative people here, and
as long as we're more creative than the filtering
devices, all parties are happy.

On a side note and in general, I think censorship
$ucks big elephant willie. But in this context I can
live with it.
