From what I can tell, every instance of the word k-i-n-g (as in queen's husband) (or as part of a suffix) has been censored. Why? Bug?
I've never heard this used in a derrogatory manner.

There's obviously a bug with the profanity filters, as some members are using the particular word in question phonetically in a phrase as a workaround against the existing filters. I'm thin**** that this bug is ma**** things look pretty funny around here at the moment.

| | | | Amazing. I was posting on setup and repair (bass guitar) and used the words hi**** boots. It was censored. Now, it's pretty obvious as to what the filter thinks it's seeing. The question is why?
Amusing. |
