Vanishing apologies

[bushblade]

In a recent thread I started (allthough wish I hadn't) :tapedshut two of my posts had the word 'sorry' removed, disapeared or I don't know what, anyone know why?

 

[bushblade]

It didn't appear that time too its the word S O R R Y is it not allowed

 

[JohnC]

theres a few threads about this, its a known problem, but the solution??

 

[Wayland]

S0RRY is always the hardest word.

Apparantly Admin have it on a 'to do' list.......personally I'm not holding my breath. It's been kind of irritatingly amusing seeing the various ways folks get around it.

cheers,
Toddy

I noticed this happening on a recent dogs and bushcraft thread when someone referred to the breed of their dog being a 5h1tzu (if you can read that one)... there are profanity filters on many forums like this and sometimes inadvertent words are slipped into the configuration text file listing words that are verboten. Ah well.

It sure is tough saying 5orry though.

Nahhh, the swear filter was the first thing checked. If I say **** then the naughty word gets replaced with a row of asterix'. If you write "s0rry" nothing appears at all. The problem is somewhere deeper than the filters.

Hmm, sorry about that.

 

[Mungo]

I meant, 5orry about that.

Sоrry

Show off! How did you get it to accept that?

cheers,

Sοrry Toddy, cant tell you.

Can't take credit for it - The Joker did it in a post recently I think - basically take a special character from Word that looks just like an o.

Computers not being visually tricked like us don't trigger the filter.
