Well, I was surprised the word “fart” got the ol’ asterisk when typing in another forum. Any tame words attempted that got filtered out?
Maybe “fart” translates into some vulgar form of “I love you” in some other language, but I don’t know . . .
guess you’re stuck with flatulence.
It does not block the plural, which will come in handy if you have more than one and want to share that with us.
they are kinda like potato chips, that way
“Love is the fart
of every heart
It pains a man when 'tis kept close
And others doth offend
When 'tis let loose.”
A fart is a chemical substance
it comes from the planet Bum
it penetrates the knickers
and emits with a mechanical hum!
What I find interesting (and disturbing) is that “nigger” (and other ethnic slurs) do not get censored at all.
You know, I had no idea that there was any censoring going on!
I mean, I really had no fuckin’ idea!
What a bunch of shit!
What if I have a real word with fuck in it, like: unbefuckinlievable
Oh well, but then a guy I know had an EEO grievance filed against him for using the word “niggardly”.
It doesn’t take a “bad” word to push some buttons. Another friend had an EEO grievance filed against her for quite innocently starting a sentence with the words “you people”.
What does EEO mean.
Some of us in foreign parts are not familiar with the term.
Slan,

Some of us in not-so-foreign parts aren’t familiar, either.
Quick off the blocks there Slude, nice one..
Now I gotta read all that stuff and try to understand what it all means.
Slan,
D. 
Don’t do it! You don’t really want to know. 
If it helps me to understand Hydes approach to things, I will read it.
When I get stuck on the meaning of it all, I’ll ask Wombat to help out.
He understands all this stuff..
Meanwhile..back to my reading…

I guess I do not know the right words.
Oops! Sorry. I hadn’t realized folks outside the USA might not know about the protocols of grievance the USA government set into place to guard workers’ rights when they think they are being discriminated against.
Yeah, Equal Employment Opportunities.
I used to be an interpreter for the Deaf. Safety talks, union grievances, and EEO grievances used to generate a good part of my paycheck.
No problem Hylde..
It’s a big world out there
Slan,

Not all words can be censored by a machine. Some words are pretty much vulgar, regardless of context, but most words depend entirely on context as to whether they are offensive.
That said, it is quite possible that the moderators are just having a little fun in what they choose to set the word filter to censor.
Bemused by the “you People” business. I fell foul of that in Kentucky. My intended meaning was “The people in this business company” but that is not what people heard!
