I know why, but a last name? Hmmmm. I wonder what type of jokes people made up on the schoolyard about his last name. "Shudders" But yeah, it kept coming up as a profain word when I tried submitting a story, and I got kicked off for a few weeks because of it.  |

The way the filter is setup,it catches the bad words,not variations of them..So even if a word is a variation such as Alfred's it's only seeing the bad word in that,and rejecting it... |

I don't think the filter is set to catch comments,only what is posted in the stories,and in chat.. |

But I understand why swear words are cut off. I mean, seriously. People have gotten in arguments on this site, I'm sure. Things would get ugly had we the privilege to swear. |

It's kinda sickening how idiotic people in the world turn every day words into dirty, filthy words. Soon, we won't even be able to say the word "orange" or "coffee" without someone turning it into something to do with the body or parents creating babies, if you know what I mean. People these days have dirty minds. It's a shame they have to ruin it for everybody else. But yeah, I understand the system totally. It's not the admins fault a bunch of dirty, filthy pigs in the world turned common words into cuss words. |

That's messed up! I read posts and replies all the time here that are not g-rated!  |

Did you maybe have a space in between Hitch and the rest of it? I could see how that would set off the filter.  |

LOL, I remember back in the day when you didn't have to be a member to reply, and people left some HORRIBLE comments. I like the filter, and I don't think it's too over-zealous. There are, after all, a couple of evil step-sister sites to USM where you can put whatever you want and USM'ers can still see them. If you think these would be better suited for you and would reach the audience you want, you may be better off trying one of those.  |

I like this site a lot and I'm glad we can't swear. Who knows what might happen if we were allowed to? :O Some people would go gung-ho on tearing others down. But the last name of someone? Come on... |

yea, I agree, I tried posting a story that had nothing really bad, about a father telling son something that i can't say or i might get in trouble, but not saying who, there is another usm person who puts things with a lot worse things but don't get in trouble, its unfair to some of the users.. So i really agree with you. |
