Hey all, I have a weird question. What words aren't allowed? I understand that profanity isn't allowed for good reason and are starred as such, but I am asking because I used a word that wasn't profanity and when I went to post, I noticed that it was starred. Is there any way to get a list of non-profane words that are not allowed so they can be avoided (I hate having the stars in my posts so I make an effort to find synonyms). Thanks!
Thanks for the replies! I guess I'll just have to use preview or edit. Although I do think it's kind of funny that ****take is edited, especially because I love those kinds of mushrooms ;-)
One time I was making a post in answer to a question about what foodstuffs were proper for Passover, and the site censored the last four letters of the word "A-s-h-k-e-n-a-z-i" (so I went back and had to say something like "whatever subset of Judaism they are"). There's a name for this; it's called the "S-c-u-n-t-h-o-r-p-e problem" after a town in England that often gets caught in filters because of a certain string of letters

I looked it at on Wikipedia and I kept giggling the whole time.
