why is **********.com a bad word? I tried to use the website's name in a recent thread (did not post) and the preview just replaced it with stars?
Got a tip for us?

As you can see, we can't read the word in your post. Whatever it is, there is no doubt a reason it is being filtered out. I suggest that you send a Private Message to a moderator for more information.Jedi128 said:

Well, I really didn't want to spell it out if it is so illegal to say on this forum. Like, why can't I even mention it?
Also, the first amendment doesn't really apply to privately-owned internet forums.

If it's being filtered out, it's probably because it caused problems in the past.Jedi128 said:
Counting the asterisks, I think I know what site you're talking about... it's a commerce site based in Rhode Island that sells iPods and other gear at ridiculously low (even suspiciously low) prices, and its name contains the words "me", "for", and "it"... right?
If I'm right, the answer is that that name caused trouble earlier this year, so it's now persona non grata here. Click here for more info.

Oh.... AP Government, a? I got a 98% first quarter but I'm not trying to brag. I also went to Buckeye Boys State here in Ohio, but know one probably knows what that is..... Its hosted by the American Legion and they pick 2 people from each high school in Ohio..... well, I think my knowledge is more in history than in government and that is why I got a 98%...... but why are we even discussing this! I just want to know what is so wrong with a name of a website.... I can see the link being banned, but the name as well??? Just what is so wrong with it???
You weren't here for the whole thing... trust me when I tell you that there's a good reason for that word to be filtered.Jedi128 said:
Trust in the wisdom of the moderators, and let it go.

*cough* *cough* Even if that is the site in question that link still leaves some major questions......
I did PM a mod and I am awaiting a response......
This is like I'm trying to bring up slavery at the Constitutional Convention... what is sooooo bad about that "me" "for" "it" site anyways....
I do trust the mods but..... I dont know... it just feels like everyone is so afraid of a seeminly harmless little website.....

if you don't like the rules, sorry, they are in place for a reason, there were issues earlier with the site and justifiably, they don't want it talked about here, simple as that.

EDIT:Ew.
NVM, its that site
[/EDIT]
If you're so sure its nothing "Bad", u...****************** and it won't get auto-filtered.
Be warned though, if it indeed is inappropriate, you may be banned.

Personally I think this site is a little uptight about talking about things.... But I guess I'll let it go.
Don't you know if you refuse to talk about something it will just become a much bigger deal later on. I think history has taught us all this.....It has also taught us that if one wishes to be a member of a group, one must follow the rules......
I'll shut up..... I'm just not real happy about it.

Oh, I know how to by pass a filter... but I value my membership to greatly. I would do it, but it might make the mods mad, especially if they said not to talk about it earlier.blaskillet4 said:What in the world could it be?
I'm so curious...
If you're so sure its nothing "Bad", use spaces,commas,stars in between the letters, and it won't get auto-filtered.
Be warned though, if it indeed is inappropriate, you may be banned.
Mods, delete my response if I'm not supposed to discuss how to by-pass a filter
A PM might be a good way to communicate, somewhere where someone won't be trying to control and monitor what I say!

Right you are. There are some things that we can't control here.
If one does not like it, start your own forum. Like one person has done recently.
