    Censored words?

    Recently I tried to use the word "p*rn" but it came out as 4 asterisks. I put an asterisk in now so that you'll know what word I'm talking about. I was referring to a p*rn Website someone had linked to. I don't know what other words are being censored by the system here but there are probably others. This can be inconvenient.

    For instance, another message board I know of censored out the word "r*pe" whenever it occurred, including in words like "therapeutic."

    A small matter but just wondering if the censoring could be modified or eliminated?
    SPMS diagnosed 1980. Avonex 2001-2004. Copaxone 2006-2009. Glatopa (glatiramer acetate = Copaxone) 12/20 - 3/19/24.

    We have always censored that word as it tends to break a bunch of image links so they don't show in posts. I'm afraid that won't change anytime soon.

    Question: Why can't I post links or pictures?
    Question: Why can't I have a signature, avatar, or profile picture?
    Question: What's wrong with my account?

    Answer: You are in the "registered users" user group. This group is very limited in what it can do. This will annoy spammers to no end Just keep posting once you have been registered for 30 days and have made 11 posts your account will be "unlocked".

    It's really easy to put someone on ignore and it's strongly recommended that you do so with people who's posts you don't like.

    Step 1 - log in
    Step 2 - click on the "settings" link
    Step 3 - click on the "edit ignore list" link on the left side of the screen
    Step 4 - type (or paste if you copied and pasted it) the username of the person you want to ignore
    Step 5 - click the "ok" button on the right of the screen

    Easy peasy and will lower your blood pressure. One important note though, this won't hide quoted posts. It's an oversight on the developers part and it's not an easy thing to "fix." So if someone quotes someone you have ignored, you'll see the quote.

    Alternatively when you click on a person's name and view their profile page, underneath their avatar, there is a option that says, "Ignore this person". Click that link and then click the yes button.
