If this is easy to implement I think it would be a useful thing to add, at least for people with potty mouths like me who mean no harm but sometimes post profanity without thinking about it and offend others.

Obv the easiest solution is that people just don't post profanity but it is helpful since that way it just shows up as **** and we don't have to worry about it.

IME most forums either have this, or do not care about profanity, so in either case I usually just post F*%* if it seems appropriate and it either turns into **** or it is on a forum that does not care. This makes it harder to remember not to do it on BBF, sorry about that :(

The profanity filter came over from the old forum, but it changed the options from "loose" to "exact" thus the word used earlier today slipped through whereas it would have been filtered before. I edited the filter to see what will happen as we move forward.

At the risk of getting grossed out, I ask anyone who thinks some word should be added to the filter, please submit the word in question to me by private message. I may regret this request. :)

Looks like we need a spell checker too.

I can remeber when the inhabitants of Scuntthorpe were incensed when their city was wiped out of the map by a search engine profanity filter

It's called a typo tards, you might have figured it out by my correct spelling of it everywhere else but the title if you used your brains, but you obviously have nothing to add other than to troll a thread and add no content.
