When Word Censors Get Feisty.

[Echoes]

Check the stars in this link:

I guess I can see why, but shouldn't there be a test for leading and/or trailing letters?

 

[Vlad]

Thanks for pointing it out. That word was a real ****.

 

[Cocolo]

ok, I'm a idiot. Tell me what I'm looking for in that article?

 

[Echoes]

Your not looking for anything in the article. It was in the hyperlink that the stars appeared in place of some of the letters, like so: marke****ch


You can still see the Word Censor error in this post: http://forum.purseblog.com/money-talks/facebook-ipo-749378-5.html#post21931263

I've seen numerous other examples of the same type of thing where some letters get ***'d out of completely innocuous words.

 

[Cocolo]

Thanks it was driving me crazy. As you can see it doesn't take much.

There is a member whose name always gets stars in the middle whenever she is quoted, although her name shows up fine when she posts.

 

[Echoes]

Along the same lines, isn't there a way to test for this kind of thing with the ad links? (Note the highlighted word)

That is awkward indeed. I can see if I can restrict that. Good catch!

Can you point out which user please?

I imagine there are others with that same combination of letters.

I think this should be fixed now. Thanks!

I see quite a few others in both ***s and links. I saw where some one had posted the letters N M together meaning 'nevermind' and it turned into a link for you-know-who.

Another example:

Note the subject's last name in the quote.

Why is a d v i s o r y blocked?

Usually I can figure them out, but not in this case.
