Amusing Censorship

After posting the name of the actor   *** van *** and falling foul of the auto censor,  I wondered what other amusing censorship would be implemented.  I am not talking about words that should be censored because of their unacceptability but words and expressions that could be spoken in polite society.

Some.of thes may get through as I will not know until they have been posted.

To start off, in my garden I have seen a number of birds, including a great.tit, a blue tit and a coal tit.  In the spring rhere are a number of catkins about including *** willow.  I live near a pub called The Red ***.  Sometimes.when doing the gardening I *** my finger on a rose thorn.

How many of t hese will be censored? And how many others are there?

  • Uh oh... I've been reported & 'moderated' for breaching the rules...!

    We may want to 'wind up' this thread - I wouldn't want any of you chaps or lasses to get in trouble with teacher!

  • To "Prankster" as well... My Posts here have been altered also. But I mostly do NOT like the fact that any "upvotes" were removed. Yet I am a trifle relieved that they - so far - kept the part about s p a c i n g o u t w o r d s, though... (although what I actually typed as examples were removed.)
    ...However, What makes Me VERY annoyed, is that a Moderator would be 'SO very working efficiently & muchly & dilligently' to censor commonly used vulgarities here... while totally IGNORING any Spamming and Infiltration going on at the same times elsewhere in this Forum...?!

    ...Bad Mark against NAS, there...

    ...Moderators: As You are here, please read & look at the pictures upon the 'Copy-Troll' Thread, and the 'Copybot & Likebot' Thread.
    Having Your Forum corrupted is worse than being exposed to *everyday* vulgarities, surely...?

      Disappointed

  • Yeah, but... I don't think there's anything in the rules about 'No copy/spam-bots' but there is a rule that:

    "This is a hate-free zone for autistic people, their families and friends, and professionals working in the field. We do not permit sexism, homophobia, racism, anti-Semitism, religious intolerance, transphobia, disability hate speech, hate speech, obscenities or pornography to be posted or linked to here."

    So, even though we're clearly just having a laugh we're breaching the rules and if they let us 'get away with it' here, how can they enforce the rules elsewhere?

    They'd have to look at context every time and make a judgement, which wold open them up to criticism...

    Safer to just apply the letter of the law rather than the spirit
