Does anyone else get caught out by writing names or common expressions and then find that they've been automaitically censored? I've had this happen a couple of times and I find it really annoying that I can't use a name or phrase without it being censored, it seems like there's no context to the censorship, just a blanket ban, are we not grown ups who can sort this stuff out for ourselves? I think this site is to nannying at times and yet seems to allow other things to slip through unnoticed.
Yes, it can happen automatically. My name used to get starred out because it has 'ass' in it.
I know that you mean. Some of this censorship is automatic without human intervention. A few years ago I got into trouble here when we were discussing the film, Mary Poppins, and I tried to write the name of the male lead.
I wouldn't know I only use here and yes it does suck. Autists get infantalised enough in general life I don't think we need it here too.
This is commonplace on pretty much every digital medium nowadays. It sucks
