You know, if I was still a mod, I'd be trying to contact Alex more directly, but I am sure that many others would be as frustrated as I am.

Now, I just watched and posted a review on this BBS for the James Bond film Goldfinger. And as everyone should know, this film has a character called p**** Galore. But when I look at my post, the melonfarming autocensor changed it to, well, you'll probably see it where I just wrote her name up above.

Now, I think that there was some problem with the autocensor before. I'm going to write the name of a certain German facist dictator, and see if it is censored. I am writing the name of Adolf Hitler, and seeing if it gets censored with something else. But it was censored some time before, a couple of years back.

Now, Alex, I do respect the need for an autocensor, but getting it to censor the word p****? It can still be used in a non-rude context, believe it or not.

So, Alex, please change the melonfarming autocensor as soon as possible on at least this one word. In fact, can we have a list (appropriately censored of course) of all the words that the autocensor deals with?

Use BBCode tags to evade wordfilters, like this: p**** Galore. Instead of p**** Galore.

But seriously, p**** is censored and yet BS isn't, lol.
