There are censorship options and includes a "Character to Replace Censored Words" option. Basically the admins of the site type in words they want censored in to list. The admin then picks what character will censor the work out. In this script the whole word should be replaced with the character of choice.
I was just curious as to why that particular cuss word didn't get bleeped out. Being it's one that start with the letter that is before the letter G, I was suprised, that's all. THAT one is like the all time worst one in my book - not everyone agrees with me on that since I've been told that it's just another word.

I saw that one too... what I realized was that the poster used the bolding script, which "technically" made the f-word a different word. So it didn't get bleeped.

That poster was a weirdo. Had some kind of vendetta against a senior.

Well, I didn't actually USE the word either. I bleeped a letter and inserted a *. But I was very clear about what word I MEANT and I used it repeatedly.

At least, I'm assuming that's why I was given a hiatus. I never did get a reason from On High.

But, I do apologize. I'm usually far more reasonable than I was feeling that night.

Hmm, it's an ugly side of me my husband wishes I didn't have, but I have a nasty habit of using the F word when I'm ticked -- it's the word that works when no other one does. I didn't realize bleeping it partially would still be unacceptable here. Good to know! :eek:

Naughty naughty! Use your thesaurus to find more colorful words :)

That's what I have to do in my classroom at school. I can't swear at the students, but I can describe their actions rather vividly. Makes me feel better.
 
You can use zero bad language in the schools. I couldn't even listen to the radio on the way in to school to avoid being desensitized to bad language. I've heard some people say that they use that language everywhere but in front of the children. I guess I'm just am NOT good at 'selective' use of colorful language - much easier to just NOT use it at all.

I’m a photo nerd and I used to photograph at an “alternative program for youth.”

I always promised that any gang or obscene gestures would get “censored” before any display or publication.

Guys looked super tough giving a thumb’s up.
