YaBB censored words - what's the oddest?

Okay, so YaBB allows a 'Censored Words' list, which isn't in itself a bad thing. However, as some of those who have seen other threads, it can be a little unusual in it's choice of what to alter. Follow the link to YaBB and have a look at the online documentation concerning setting up a board and the options allowed. There are even a few 'new' message code-tags to try Cheesy
 
Any naughty word seems to be replaced by 'thingy', although some posters report asterisks. The oddest replacement I've experienced was for the word s-p-o-o-n, which became 'sthingy'. Presumably the word 'p-o-o-n' is bad language somewhere in the world Grin spoon spoon spoon - see, still does it! And it doesn't 'correct' things until the message is posted to the board - preview the post and it still is as typed, modify a post and back pop the original words.
 
What else has it replaced (let's stick to non-purile words, eh?) for you lot?
 
And is there a way of stopping it from chopping bits of words that happen to spell the same way as a banned word?

Hi Ian,
 
I think the YaBB developers might have been a little overzealous with that feature. Everything should be taken care of now, though. Go ahead and post as many spoons as you like  Smiley

Hooray!
 
At what is more, I see the old posts are now corrected... that's going to make some of my 'follow-on' posts seem a little odd - but hey, I guess some things will never change!

Is tere any chance of seeing the list, so that we know which words are likely to be problematic?

You're right - that thing is a very powerful weapon in the hands of one so young. Wink

See? You're the first to use the 'Marquee' tag, which is what the browser translates the YaBBC 'move' tag into.
