I have a quick question about banned words here on SCUBAbaord - how exactly does a word get put on "the list". I understand putting profanity and whatnot on the list, but have been surprised by a few of the words which get starred out - certain 1940's-era German political movements for example.

Just curious...

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to ask my actual question, is there a way to recommend words be removed from "the list"?

**** -------> c word
***** ------> whor* word
**** -------> F bomb
*** --------> w.t.f. (w/o periods)
**** -------> sh**
****** -----> n word

The fact that we blocked it gave it more publicity than it's worth. So, it was removed from the list.

ok...... that makes sense... I thought it used to be "on the list".



Odd though that we censor the letters for w.t.f, but yet we have a w.t.f smiley

Yup see post 14 in this thread :wink:


whoops... missed that... (didn't scroll back up earlier...) sorry!



What is cdnn.com?

Edit: Its net... Sorry.


Cyber Diver News Network..... they are a fake news service about diving. They take stories, plaugerize them, add lots of drama, and often add outright lies...

they are not to be trusted.....

I think about everyone here will agree with me on this....
